men have cramps too?

I saw this ad this morning in a local paper - advertising a study for men with monthly cramps - just like women..

umm...anyone else ever heard of this?

I laughed too when I saw it...thought it was totally bizarre-o...

But it had a web site that was in the ad and it looks legit - who knew??

Men With Cramps

it does look like a legit sight, still though i have not once heard of or expericed this. and what part of the male body would be reponsible for these monthly pains?

No idea...Maybe that's what they're conducting the study for? They definitely have put time into that site - you can do all sorts of stuff like take quizzes to see if you have the symptoms and other things...I had never heard of this before, but now I'm super-intrigued...

I have daily cramps from eating two servings of beans with each of two of my meals. Does that count?

Hmm, a_welch...maybe you should go to the Do I Have Cyclical Non-Uterine Dysmenorrhea? section to see what your "Fardel" score is

Or just spend more time alone or with people who have colds on days when I eat a lot of beans.

Yeah, it's that kind of cramps.

Welch have you tried doing fartleks to get rid of them?

**.V.** · 05-Oct-06, 10:42 AM

No, I just go outside away from other humans and walk.

Haha do fartlek excercises to reduce your Fardel score...I didn't know that male cramps existed, and could be so funny! who knew?
