Unfortuately not everything works, i have a back injury so when i get mine my ovaries press up against the pelvic bone which pushes on the tailbone, the only thing sometimes, that does work is taking a bath. and putting a heating pad over my stomach as well as drinking the tea.
Here is a link to menstral cycle from webmd.com.
I feel for you i just got over mine.
You can drink a tea called raspberry tea. This will ease up on some of the pain.
Apply heat to your abdomen with a heating pad or hot water bottle, or take a warm bath. Heat improves blood flow and may decrease pelvic pain.
Lie down and elevate your legs by putting a pillow under your knees.
Lie on your side and bring your knees up to your chest. This will help relieve back pressure.
Get regular exercise. This improves blood flow, produces pain-fighting endorphins, and may decrease pain.
If you have vaginal pain with cramps, try using sanitary napkins instead of tampons.

i can't seem to swallow pills either but i just stick them half way down my throat then hurry up and drink. but you should try the hot pads that you can put in your underwear, they help relieve cramps. or you can drink hot tea, any thing hot will help southe your stomach. you should also try not to eat heavy, eat healthy things with less salt, salty food seems to make cramps worse. or you could try chewing the pill and laying down. but try to stay active. moving around and excercise can decrease cramps.

Go to gnc and buy progesterone cream. Rub it on your tummy and breasts during PMS and period. Every month it will decrease symptoms. I've taken nsaids all my life for bad periods. I have recommended this cream to others with bad cramps.nsaids offer quick relief but can destroy your stomach over time. This cream works.

A heating pad, some warm green tea with honey and minimal moving seems to do the trick for me.

Use a heating pad on your abdomen. That helps. I used to use that when I had painful periods during my teens.

try a heating pad on your stomach, a warm bath. Have you tried mashing up the pills and mixing them with water on a tablespoon?
