Eat chocolate it always helps my cramps. And if you are in school then take headache pills before you leave that way you wont have cramps through school.

well all i can say is if you are using tampons instead or pads, i would switch, and there are all kinds of medications for period pain, maybe an advil might help, hope i helped

Cramps are the worst. I feel your pain - literally. Of course, if you only get cramps during your period, consider yourself lucky. I have them the week before and the week of. Yeah. Two weeks of misery. But hey, it's the pain that causes us to create ways to cope.
Take a hot bath when your cramps are the WORST. At least just sit in the water. You can read a book, do your homework, talk on the phone - whatever you please to do. I don't really like taking baths because I get bored too easily. I don't "relax" unless I have something to keep my mind busy - like a book.
For cramps that are bad, but not bad enough for a bath, try a heating pad. Alternate it between your back and stomach if you have cramps in both places (I do).
Water. Water. Water. Water! Drink lots of the stuff. Forget the caffinated soft drink, that can actaually make your cramps worse. Water is much better for you and will make you feel better; it will also help keep bloating to a minimum.
Midol or Advil. Midol is specifically formulated for period cramps, but Advil does the same thing for a good bit less money.
Eat healthy foods. Stay away from those potato chips, grab an apple instead. Yes, healthy foods will make you feel better.
Run, jump, play, swing, swim - do something! Exercise helps cramps and makes you feel much better. Even if you only take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood, you'll feel better.
It helps me to sleep in a non-elevated position at night. Without a pillow. And I like to keep my room warm during this time, but not so hot that it's choking me.
Sometimes it helps me to sleep without my pj pants on. If you just sleep in a big t-shirt and your underwear, there's less chance of messing up your pj pants, and there's nothing touching your abdomen (besides your underwear) and it really seems to help.
I hope everything goes well.

A hotwater bottle wrapped in a towel helps alot with period pain, just make sure you wrap it up well so you don't burn yourself.

Try an Advil or Midol. But if it doesnt help you might want to go to the doctor or something because my friend had to and she takes birth control now for her cramps. Also she says it is funny when you see the reaction of people when they find out you take birth control. lol.
Hope it Helps and Hope they Get Better!

Heating pad on your abdomen and a couple of midol usually worked for me.
And chocolate. :)
*** Yes I'm serious about the chocolate :), You need a treat!
As for the popcorn kernal...I've had that happen and it is really annoying. You might try gargling with some salt water if you have no mouthwash. It might dislodge it for you.
May have to do it more than once throughout the day. :)
