I take Advil for the cramps. It helps relieve them a little. Do any of you know a good at-home remedy besides Advil?

Ibuprofen is the best. Works real well on inflamation. Just be sure and take it about 2 days before your period. Works much better than taking it the day you start hurting. (you could probably continue to take Advil. just take it 2 days before and see how it does) m

I use Aleve and tylenol. It is stronger than advil. Take 2 the first time and 1 every 6 hours and you can take 2 tylenol between those dosages. Also I drink hot tea that helps some. I was the same way for many years. The only thing that helped to calm them down so I could work and cope is birth contol. I can't have anymore kids but my doctor put me on it for my period and bleeding. Talk to your doctor about that.

I heard moderate exercise can relieve some cramps or yoga postures. If, you cut down consuming caffeine (soda, chocolate anything with excess sugar and salt). A friend told me drinking water might make the body more relax. If, your cramps are so severe that you can't stand up straight exercise will not help take advil.

Midol works for me depending on how bad the cramps are.
