Are you sure this is just cramps and not a stomach virus, too?
Heating pad or hot water bottle on your bladder area front. 4 ibuprofen (800mg). No caffiene. If you have some motion-sickness medicine, like dramamine, take a dose of that, too.
Unless you want to go through this once a month every month, you need to see a gyn. She can write you an order for birth control pills (doesn't matter if you need to control birth) because they have hormones in them that minimize periods. Wouldn't it be better to have a 3 day drip drip period rather than the tsunami like today? See your dr.

have you recently started any new medications?
this can often be a sign of a hormone imbalance. i would suggest seeing a naturopath immediately. i had a friend that had exactly what your describing.
they can recommend what natural things you can take to get your levels back into balance, i think its wild yam and chase tree or something, ive also heard that damiana tea is good for regulating hormone levels too.
they can also recommend some suppliments to take to replace the depleted trace elements in your system that cause most cramping, i think its magnesium and iron, but im not sure.
in the short term my friend always used a hot water bottle wrapped in a tea towel to help cope with the pain.
i would definitely see a naturopath about it immediately, as hormone imbalances can cause many problems within the body, within both men and women. taking pain killers or using hot water bottles may help you to feel better at the time, but they dont help fix the underlying cause!

Ive had cramps that have made me go to the hospital, the best thing you can do is take Midol ( Purple Box) becasue its caffine-free and it will stop the cramps and bloating and any aches you have, also avoid being bare-foot and avoid anythign with caffine and next time take the pill before your getting your period so that it wont hurt as much its done wonders to me.
Hope You Feel Better :)
