    Put a hot water bottle on it, take a nice warm bath and stuff like that. I usually want to sleep a lot as well which is good because you don't feel physical pain while you are asleep.

    Lay at home and watch movies, or of course the best thing to do is sleep. That's not always possible though, so if you have work or school or somewhere else to be, Advil works well.Try not to eat salty foods, drink lots of water and some say that exercise helps, although it never has for me. If cramps are severe, it is best to see a doctor.

    If it's just minor pains, I tought it out. But if I feel so bad I don't want to leave the house, I use Advil or Tylenol. I've heard that Midol works really well, too.

    I take Midol, but that usually doesn't totally get rid of them for me, so I take advil on top of that. You can also try a heating pad, or a use a hot or warm water bottle to relax the muscles.

    Scream and cry...I can't get the energy to do anything else. I have freakishly bad cramps though.

    My doctor suggested I go on birth control for them, I started about a month ago and im getting my period soon so lets hope they work!
