I find ibuprofen is pretty good.
Try lying with a (warm as opposed to a boiling) hot water bottle on your stomach.
Some exercise might also help.

Dear tifany,
When you have cramps, it it usuallly a sign that you are low in potassium. I would suggest getting a Gatorade and drinking it down. If you do not have Gatorade available, eat a banana or drink some alka seltzer (1 tablet in 6 oz water--you just want the sodium bicarb buffer). I would recommend that you do not go to the party, but if you go do not drink alcohol.

Those Playtex heating pads, some Motrin or Naproxen, and you should be good to go. Give the medication about 30min-1hour to work.

sit in some warm bathtub water for 30 minutes and try some ibuprofen or extra strength midol.

well it depends on the cramps and where they are...try ibuprofen (advil) and put a heating pad on it and lay down..that will really help...or sometype of warm compress...if you don't have one take a hot bath or shower...i hope you feel better good luck!! and have fun : )

There's these heat patches you can stick onto your stomach that will relax your muscles and reduce pain. Advil also works.
