menstrual pain...
im 18 and im still a virgin.
I got my period when i was 13, and never got cramps until i this year when i turned 18.
the cramps and pain has been so intence the last couple of months that i cry, cant sleep, cant move because it hurts so much. I have tried numerous different anti-inflammitorys such as ponstan which is supposed to be the best thing for period pain. Yet it has no effect.
My period has also become very irregular and last month it came a week earlier then it was suposed to and lasted 3 days longer then usual.
help?

You need to see your gynecologist. Just because you're a virgin doesn't mean you shouldn't be having your regular yearly check-ups. It's actually recommended that a woman begin seeing her "female" doctor once a year once she begins menstruation.
Your problem may be linked to a variety of problems. You may have something called endometriosis. You may have uterine fibroids. You may have ovarian cysts. You may have cancerous cells. You may have a pelvic infection.
When cramping is so severe that it disrupts your daily life and usual activities then it's time to seek out professional help. Since over the counter anti-inflammatories aren't helping things then this may be a serious, progressing condition that needs immediate treatment.
Please make an appointment with your gynecologist immediately. Explain to them that your periods have become irregular within the past few months and that you have such severe, debilitating cramps associated with your menstruation.
When your body is in pain like this it means something is not working right. Something has gone wrong, somewhere. You need help to get this under control. Nothing I could tell you could fix this. Someone needs to examine you, have bloodwork drawn up, do an ultrasound, and figure out what is happening all of a sudden. This is, obviously, progressing quite rapidly. Stop waiting around for it to get better. It likely will continue to worsen.
This isn't something to wait about. You very well could need immediate surgery, strong antibiotics, or other medical assistance. Don't be afraid to pick up the phone and ask for help. If, for some reason, you cannot afford to wait or for a doctor's visit then go to the nearest emergency room. The ER can help you get the pain under control until long-term treatment is available for you via a regular doctor's exam. This IS something that merits an ER trip so don't be afraid to get to the hospital and get help.
