midol,pamperin medicine isle
aleve and those heat pads you stick in your undies on your stomach.

works like a charm.
pills, there are all kinds today, analgezycs
midol works really well
Aleve!
Pamprin works great and does not make you drowsy. Hot baths work too.
I've heard about that Midol stuff. Maybe that can help. Its supposed to relive cramps.
I've found that a heating pad on my abdomen, plus some extra strength pamprin or midol helps tremedously. Also, try excersizing, and stretching.
Have fun in Florida!
well i think if she feels bad then she shouldnt go.
Buy some Pamprin pills they worked great for me! I got them at CVS drugstore.
-Advil gelcaps/Aleve work VERY well
-run HOT water on her hands and wrists
-Put a hot water bottle on the stomach
none of the mydol type things worked for me.
but oddly enough tylenol has this mentrual formula kind in a pink labeled bottle, only thing that ever worked for me, and it does!
Also worked for some of my friends that nothing else ever worked.
Definetely try, that stuff works.
There are some massages for the lower back area (someone would need to do this to her) that can help.
I agree with amosunknown, also don't eat a lot of salt before you are supposed to start. I also use a heating pad/hot water bottle and prop my feet up. They should be gone in a couple of days, I would think. Welcome to FL and have fun down here!
I'm not sure whether it works that well.. but in this booklet we got at school it said that bananas help.. Hope this helps..

I might add more later.. shall try and find the booklet..
Well she can take midol or ibuprofen she should drink a lot of water and no sodas or anything junkie like that. when she's just lying around she should where a hot pack where ever the pain is on her back or on her stomach, usually for me it's on the back. then she should take a shower everyday because that just always feels good especially during this time.and before she leaves she should do some exercise because that can always make you feel better to and it can also take away the pain. Well hope this helps and good luck and have lots of fun in Florida. : )
Well, I have often times considered just jumping off a bridge or something, especially when the cramps are really bad>>>>Ok Ok, that's a little rash, and obviously I don't ever do it, what I do is take 2 motrin and a hot bath for a long time..also a heating pad works, and walking will also help. I'm affraid there is no straight away cure, aside from perscription meds, but they don't last longer than the period itself which is like 7-10 days max..should be feelin fine for the trip!
Try one or two of the following:

1)Heating pad on the tummy- relieves lower cramps
2)Midol- for bloating
3)Advil- for headache and cramps
4)Lower back massage
5)Yell at your boyfriend- this seriously works, I do it at least once during my period and feel amazing after, all my pain/cramps go away from the exercise and concentration on him instead of my misery
Heat! Water! Pain Meds! Heat will relax her muscles. During relaxation time, get her a heating pad and turn it on low. Place it on her belly and the pain will lessen. Drink as much water as you can - flush out toxins from your body and lubricate your muscles and brian. Get some Aleve - it lasts the longest and somehow knows right where to stop the pain. another option is Midol, which will relieve bloating, but it's not really strong in the pain dept. Make sure that she doesn't miss a dose of pain meds, or the transition will be a pain in the butt.
If she is sick to her tummy, keep her away from all dairy products, as they can irritate an already angry stomach. Good luck, and i hope you have fun!
Pamprin - two tablets does it for me plus it lasts for like eight hours and its specially designed for most symptoms related to a woman's period.
What everyone else said plus, tell her to make sure she isn't constipated (not joking). Sometimes, that can be the cause of period cramps, too. So tell her to eat raisins or a lot of fruits and veggies, and drink water.
Drink tons of water that normally helps.
one old wive remedy is taking a teaspoon of curd along with fenugreek seeds. This also helps immensely.
if she has discomfort excercise .drink fluids trust me!!
