heat on the abdominal area usually works for me, i use a hot water bottle and sit it on my belly.
its the only thing that helps me.
also if you avoid cold drinks before you're period the pain isnt as bad.

he best way to permanently resolve period cramps is to take vitamins. There is a supplement called Optivite which has been specially formualted for women with menstrual problems. Optivite is not available in the UK, but can be purchsed from the US via the websites below.
I take two optivite every day and have found the results to be amazing.
Also get hold of a copy of Fertility, Cycles and Nutrition by Marylin M Shannon. Available from www.ccli.org

Taking a tea made from a combination of Raspberry leaves and Lady's Mantle will help resolve the pain. It will also reduce some of the swelling in the uterus as well.
Take 2 tsp of each of the dried herbs and steep in hot water for 5mins, sweeten with a tsp of honey if required. Take the tea 2-3 times daily during menstration.

Ok, this is a secret given to me by another woman when I was about 15. I remember being horrifeid and embarrassed at the time, but since then I have been inclined to try it, and it does work.
You may not FEEL like it, but the trick is to engage in a little 'solo activity', to put it delicately. The resulting muscle tension at the peak moment then subsides into total relaxation, taking the cramps with it.
Much more fun than exercise, and it really does the job.

Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) at a dose of 200 mg 3 tablets 4 times daily plus acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 325 mg 3 tablets 4 times daily (or 500 mg 2 tablets 4 times daily) is as effective as any prescription medication. With WalMart's new $4 drug program (at least in Texas) a prescription for meloxicam 15 mg 1 daily is less expensive than over the counter products.

I know you probably wont feel up 4 it at the time but gentle exercise always helps! Even if its only a brisk walk, and you can also try the hot water bottle trick under ur clothes!

i find warmth (hot water bottle or wheat bag, or lilets do a patch), if you can get your man to give you a firm massage on you lower back. there is also a tissue salt by "New Era" which is called "combination N" But i find that making every one look after you makes it all feel alot better. Also penetration is supposed to be good. I am not sure but i assume that DIY with something Phallic would work.
Period Crmps do suck you have my full sympathy x

Drinking hot liquids and doing exercise. It gets the circulation going and it stops the pain. For some reason hot liquids also alleviate the pain.

It sounds really silly, but if you check a pamprin bottle (or any other like it) you will notice that most of them have caffine in them. If I do not have something like that around, I will take a couple of advil and drink a Mtn. Dew. Sounds funny but helps immensely. Also, if you can make yourself exercise, not anything stringent if you are not used to it, it may help.

agreeing with the others - heat, pressure, orgasm! and try lavender oil in a rub over the area including the back. it is used by many as a natural analgesic - reducing inflammation, calming and soothing an irritation - massage over the abdomen with the oil in circular movements - go with the direction of the bowel...
