Wheat packs that you heat are really good, as are long hot showers (though the fact that australia is going through a drought may mean that idea ISNT the best but i still do, running the warm water over my stomach)
Being on the pill helps to. People can be hesitant about it cos of certain side effects or think that just cos they arent having sex they dont need it, but it really does help. and you never know, if you get on it and stay on it when u finally start having sex it may be a double possitive thing to be on.
painkillers can only do so much. try keep your mind off it. curl up into a ball if the motion seems to help, and while when you have the worst pain you may feel like not moving, exercise is actually really good. If you can get your self motivated to run or something, that is really good. Its similar to depression in that when you least feel like moving, that is the time you should be.
talk to your doctor about other forms of pain relief. Most doctors will suggest the pill nowdays. However if you go to a herbalist or a naturopath, they some times have alternative forms of treatment that work.
DONT DRINK OR EAT COLD STUFF!! warm is definately better. cold will increase the pain but warm does similiar to the what pack or gel pac if you hav a gel heat pack.
hope this helps

Try Evening primrose oil.
It comes in the form of cold-pressed tablets which you can get from the pharmacy or health stores.
Drink warm drinks, avoid cold ones and stay away from caffeine and alcohol. Cut down on sugar and salt.
Use a hot water bottle on affected areas.
Exercise consistently and when you're on the rag, do light exercises which evokes more endorphines (happy chemicals produce by the brain) which is a natural pain-killer.
Most of all, eat healthily,regularly and remember to pamper yourself and have good sleep/rests during those dreaded days. Take care of yourself emotionally and dont get big risks or make lifechanging decisions during this period of time.

Do you have endometriosis or been told by a dr that you might have endometriosis? I ask out of curiosity and also because painful periods can be a symptom of it. It was also a symptom for me with mine before I got diagnosed 10 years ago.
As for other options besides painkillers I like to use a heating pad or my hot water bottle. Another thing I have is a special herb pack that I can put hot water on or use it as cold when I need to.

Heating pads or an epsom salt bath. Try some deep breathing too. Also, at the grocery store the should be a tea for PMS & pain...in the health food section. But honestly 3 Midol have always been best for me. But it's got to be Midol.

I don't know what panadine is but i am sorry that sucks. Hope you feel better. I don't even know when mine is going to show up like no clues whatsoever....sorry I heard heating pads, zanex to sleep through it pampering and chicken noodle soup. hot showers and saunas help too.

I find sometimes a heated wheat pack or hot water bottle helps or lying on my stomach or maybe curling up with my pillow pushing into my abdomen or maybe you could try massaging with some baby oil or scented oils. Hope this helps I know what you're going through.

Drink in a lot of water or taken in a lot of fluids a day or two before you are due. Don’t miss a meal during this time. It is mostly due muscle fatigue or dehydration. You can also look for information in the web. I found this website very useful. http://aches.in/cramps.html

I found that getting on the pill eased my period crams. Try that. I totally understand what you are going through... it's awful. crap.
