If you're like me, your cramps are TERRIBLE.  But did you
know that sugary foods and drinks can actually make them worse?  I like
to settle down with a heating pad and a cup of warm lemon tea.  It
really helps!  If all else fails, go for some Pamprin or Midol.  Use Advil
or Motrin if you have to, but be careful, they can thin out your blood,
which makes your flow heavier.
