Heating pads are definitely a plus. They feel so lovely! I also use Pamprin. Pamprin not only relieves the pain, it helps reduce bloating, crankiness, and other lovely PMS symptoms. Aleve also works well, as does Advil. Also try a nice hot bath, or, if the weather permits, walking for a little while can also help.
Hope this helps you!

You can try Aleve, Advil, Pamprin, or Midol. As long as you are 12 you can take them. Make sure to read the directions on the back of the bottle. Take them with lots of water and with food.

try pamprin max
i also heard that midol was good, but i just take Tylenol
you could also try to use a heating pad to help with the pain, but these pills should help. just dont take more than the recomended dose for your age.
feel better

A heating pad or hot water bottle, or those stick on heat patches work better than any pill you can take, and they have no side effects.
If you are set on medicating it, I found that ibuprofin (Advil) works better for cramps than acetominophen (Tylenol). Check with a parent or nurse for dosage for your age.

Well, it may be extreme, but "the pill" can do wonders when your body first starts out and doesn't quite have a regular cycle figured out yet, if your parents are ok with it.
For less extreme measures, ibuprofen seems to work pretty well for me, and these things are just tremendous:

aleve all the way baby. it works wonders! one pill every 8 hours, as long as you need it. do not exceed more than 3 in one day, okay?

i've tried sooo many different things.. and Motrin is my best advice for you.. just anything that is a muscle relaxer really will help.
