Unclear: Some people feel better with rest. Others feel better with movement. There is a not a great explanation for this. The key is to treat the cramps. There are many options to minimize menstrual cramping. The Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD and Depoprovera can eliminate the cycle altogether. Consider these options
