i would suggest investing in a heating pad. these will relax your muscles and sooth sore tummys. try taking ADVIL or evening primrose something (cant remeber the word... thinking its oil).
Also try these exercises:
Curl up in a ball
Stand straight against the wall, trying to get your whole body touching it.
just hang in there. only 30-0 more years.

take a good mulitple vitamin daily, add some extra magnesium/calcium supplements also. it wont help immediately, but it will avoid them in the future. an herb that will help right away is valerian root, tea tastes awful, get some capsules and start them at the beginning of your period, i would suggest taking 1 every 8 hours, see how that works for you...a hot pad on your abdomin will help too..good luck

I would suggest to prepare for your period before it get's here. Two to three days before you are due to start, take a motrin every four to six hours. Slow down on your caffeine, and try to relax. Activity during your period with motrin will help with your cramps. Drink plenty of fluids, h20 especially.

Exercising throughout the month always reduces cramps for me. Also, a heating pad relieves cramps as well.

sometimes heat and something tight helps.
