I'm 21 years old and still have irregular painful periods?

I had my first period when i was 12 years old. In the last 11 years I have had irregular painful periods. The only time I know I am going to have a period is very very painful cramps. They last about 2 days and leave me completely incapacitated. I was using ibuprofen and my body got used to that, now I am using midol extra strength and I am taking more and more with less and less results. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do or what might be wrong? Please help. Serious answers only please.
