Stay well hydrated, exercise & use a heating pad.
Take calcium and magnesium to fight PMS. These two minerals work together, says Dr. Lark. Calcium helps prevent premenstrual cramps and pain, while magnesium helps the body absorb the calcium. Magnesium also helps control premenstrual food cravings and stabilize moods.
Also take some ibuprofen which will decrease the anti-inflammatory response (prostagladins) which causes cramping.

Red raspberry leaf tea works wonders for menstrual cramps. You can buy it at the health food store.
Also cut down on your caffeine intake and up up up up up your water intake :)
