to go wrong, and being unconscious on the floor from the pain. Only thing that works for me is very strong, very hot peppermint tea (and I mean strong - I brew it black).
If I can't get that and there is no one around to help me (my husband knows the drill, so I'm in luck if he's nearby), I chew Altoids two at a time (usually 10-12 total). I actually keep Altoids in my bathroom, at my desk at work, in my luggage, and in my car. I keep peppermint tea bags in all those places too.
Best,
