Take 200 mg of Advil (ibuprofen) every 4 to 6 hours. It inhibits the release of prostaglandin, the hormone that causes cramps. Also, a warm bath or heating pad will help.

The best thing to do is to eat foods that will relieve some of the cramps like carbs, bananas/raisins, and yogurt/milk. They're supposed to relieve cramping and bloating. Stay away from high sodium foods, which can cause excess bloating, discomfort, and gas (eww!) and caffine.

An anti-inflammatory will help for those dreadful cramps. I personally use advil, but midol and aleve help as well.

Unfortunately I feel your pain, literally. For about a week out of every month I have severe mood swings, pains, and I am nauseous the entire time.

I have found that just laying down in complete silence with the lights off, and a heating pad, make me feel some better, but it still hurts.

Have you tried muscle relaxers. I hate to advise anyone to take medicine, but I understand
