Answers:
Drink a lot of water to help flush things out (also helps with cramps) and try not to give in to salty cravings! Caffine makes things worse too!.
Hot water bottles (can make them by doubling zip lock bags) or those buckwheat pillows that go in the microwave work GREAT for cramps!.
They make some NICE herbal teas now!.!.!.I use "Traditional Medicinals" and "Yogi Tea"!.!.!.look in the health food section of your grocery store!.
Some swear by Midol!. I couldn't LIVE without Motrin! Some people even start to take it 2 or 3 days before their period starts!
Ginger ale & popcycles might help w/ nausea!.
I've heard exercise helps!.!.!.but I've never felt up to it!
And just rest and wait for it to pass!
I had to leave durning English class every month all through 7th grade!
Best of luck!.!.!.I feel for ya!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ignore the lucky women who do not know what you mean by horrible cramps, they have never experienced them!. I used to get them that bad as well!. I remember once my mom joking around and comming in my room with a bible saying "the power of christ compells you!" (she was joking around because I was in so much pain I was on the floor bunched up in the fetal position and screaming into a pillow) Its a line from the Exorcist!.!.!.anyways I went to a gyn and she gave me birth conrtol shots that really, really helped!. It didn't stop my periods, but man did they alleviate the cramps!. Now that I have had a couple kids I cant take that shot (it makes some women, like me, bleed constantly after giving birth) so I just have to live with it!. But seriously, try birth control!.
Edit: Doing sit ups help too, for some reason, I don't know why, but when I was having the worst cramps, if I did sit ups, they would go away!. My sister is the one who told me to try it, and it worked!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I knew a girl whose period sounded a lot like yours!. She started getting a shot once a month which stopped her period entirely!. As far as I knew, she didn't plan on stopping the shots until she decides to have a baby!. If you want to look into this, talk to your gynecologist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Go to the store and get some Premysyn, Midol or Pamprin!. Look for the extra strength!. Have it on hand for those first 2 killer days!.
I sympathize with you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
