Over the counter medication works best. I have friends that absolutely swear by Midol (which contains caffeine,) Excedrin, (same deal,) but I personally pop three or four advil at the onset of pain and then two every 6 hours thereafter for the first few days. A few other tricks - heating pads work well. Elevating your feet can help, as can mild exercise like walking. Stay away from alcohol and sugar, which will only increase the pain, and drink tons of water. You'll figure out a trick that works for you - everyone is different. Good luck!

From the misfortune of having to inherit horrible cramps from the women in my family, I know what you're going through. I get the worst cramps ever. The way I soothe them is by taking some form of medication that can help. It depends on you and how tolerant you are to meds. On some occasions, exercising does help, but not always. Those Therma Care Heat Wraps also really help me as well. Sadly, not much can help in some circumstances. Us women were born to withstand and bare the pain that comes with womanhood. If you wish, birth control could possibly help, but that is a big decision that shouldn't be made lightly. Good luck with it, like I said, I know how it is!

This may be gross and it may be inappropriate, but sex always cures it. It not only takes your mind off it, but the release of orgasm soothes it.
