Heat is great for stomach cramps - try a hot bath/hot water bottle they even sell heat pads you can stick on you underneath your clothes - you can even wear to work/school! If your periods are really painful have a chat with your doctor and he/she will prescibe you anti-inflammatories tablets which were a godsend to me as I suffered so bad with stomach cramps I was often sick with the pain. Some people recommend light exercise but I found that made the cramps worse.

The best tip I can give to you other than to drink pain pills is to take a bottle of warm water and put it on the place where it hurts the most. By keeping yourself still at the times of the pain. And to keep a blanket over yourself. It usually worked for me. Good luck!

Take the pill and take it for 3 packets at a time without a break then you only get 4 periods a year - I do its great the best thing I hav ever done and I have found that they have eased up when I do have them. I have done this with the support of my Doctor.

my periods used to be sooo bad, i'd throw up. My mum put me on the pill and i aint had so much as a pain since. It doesn't work for every one but it is worth a try... if not gentle exercise and a hot water bottle :)

You need to see a dr for this to rule out things like endometriosis which can cause painful periods bad enough to function on a daily basis if this is going on with you.
If they are not you can try things like Midol which is over the counter. Check with your dr for additional ideas.

Hard physical exercise is good for cramps, Honestly try it.
Failing that get one of those charcoal heat pads, they work and last for up to 8 hours, just peel of the backing and stick along your lower abdomen

speaking by experience and experiences of my sisters, this may be not an easy remedy as u'd asked but we found that exercise helps. being active helps. i'd stopped having painful periods when i'd started doing some yoga and aerobics. exercise is very good for you.
