Hi. :) I can sympathise with you here, I get terrible cramps myself. Ibuprofen works well to ease the pain of any particularly bad cramps you may experience, and there are also tablets you can buy from your local pharmacy that are specifically targetted to help with menstrual cramps and other icky feelings.
Try a warm hot water bottle lightly pressed against your tummy, as well. This can help sooth the pain. You can also buy special heat pads that stick to your tummy and release a gentle heat.
Lastly, exercise lightly (walk the dog, take a trip to your local cornershop, anything like that), rather than sitting around and curling up. It definitely helps, trust me!
Good luck. :]

Yes drink a cup of ginger tea with orange peel. If not try drinking Rasberry tea. Helps alot. In future, if you suffer from cramps during every period a good thing to do would be to pick up a health lifestyle, exercise and maybe cleaning out your system before your period. All these tips help so if you can do them please do it. I used to have pains every period. Pains that prevent me from doing anything when I have a period. Now it is alot better. Doctors told me to take the pill to alleviate a little of the pain and it helped...a little. Not enough. But now I no longer take the pill, all I do is exercise and try my best to eat properly and I am fine

Make yourself some hot chocolate or no caffeine tea. Kick back with a book or watch some tv. Put a hot water bottle on your lower abdomin it will help you feel so much better. But if you want drugs take Midol or something. Sit in your favorite chair. Also a hot soak always makes me feel better. Hope you feel better soon hun :)

Ibprofen, water, and a Therma Care heat patch. Works like a charm, and is portable. Also try going for a walk.
(the lower back rub is good too, if you have someone nice enough to do that for you!)
I also try to distract myself by getting involved in something that I have to really think about. I figure if my mind is concentrating on something else, it'll make the pain not so strong.
I also found that going on birth control helped tremendously for the cramps. I used to get, fall on my knees, not able to walk cramps. Now, on birth control, they are tolerable.
Best wishes!

when i get my menstral always without fail two weeks before i start running a high fever, nausa, diaherria. achy body. its like getting the flu every single month the only thing i can recommend that helps is get plenty of rest, lots lots of juice for the bloating drink a beer it helps, also if you like eggs get a iron skillet and fry u one or two and eat those it helps with the iron. and also another thing is a awesome heating pad..and maybe a warm bath.

I have horrid periods too. My husband actually did this for me. Lay on the couch, heating pad on your back, ice pack on your tummy. I have no idea how it works, but it does! And take some Advil and treat yourself like you have the flu. Good luck, hon!
