The only thing that works for me is a hot water bottle against my pelvis and another one against my lower back. Such a method can be murder in summer but now it's getting colder is bearable - certainly better than the dreaded pain itself!
I've tried so many other remedies and recall numerous painkillers prescribed to me that were about as affective as sherbert. You can bet your life that if men had periods, they would get one week off a month and morphine jabs on the NHS!

Hot water bottle for me as well - or if you are able run a warm to hot bath and sit in there for a while? I usually find that helps to relax me.

I'd also advocate complaing loudly, have a good moan to anyone around and allowing your hormones let rip! Doesn't cure the pain but psychologically it always makes me feel a lot better!
