Whenever I have really bad cramps I take pain relievers. I bring them with me throughout the day and I just take them whenever the cramps start again.

You have many options here. It's well known that regular physical activity helps reduce the cramping in some women, so there's an idea. You could also try taking a warm bath and using aromatherapy. Applying a heating pad on your lower abdomen or back should do wonders. If you don't have a heating pad, you can make one by simply filling a sock with rice and heating it in the microwave for a few minutes [must sound silly, but if the cramps get bad enough, it just might be worth it]. Or try laying in bed, on your side, and curling up into a ball by bringing your knees up towards your chest. That does true wonders for stomach pains. Also, a healthy diet can play a big role in this. Do your best to avoid salty foods, because they retain water, causing you to bloat. Vegetables and citrus fruit would be helpful. Also, many women start taking pills around the clock from the time their cycle starts, until it ends. Any pain killer will do, but I reccommend Ibuprofen, Extra Strength Advil or Midol - it's also best to take medication will a meal, that way the risk of stomach discomfort is slimmed. But if you take other medicine regularly, I would suggest consulting your Mother or a doctor beforehand.
