eat a banana to raise your potassium levels. Drink lots of water, or even a sports drink like gatoraide, for electrolytes but not one thats loaded with sugar. You can also drink hot chamomile tea or take a hot bath to relax. If all else fails, take Midol.

You can take a medication such as Midol or another painkiller. Another way to relieve the cramps is to apply heat. You can buy heat patches made for this purpose and apply them to the site of the pain. If you don't have these products you could simply microwave a damp washcloth and apply it instead.

You can get rid of them by buying over the counter PMS relief medications such as Midol. You can purchase it just about anywhere and its over the counter. Midol reduces bloating and cramps caused by your period. Sometimes taking a good nap can reduce the pain caused by cramping.

A pain killer such as ibuprofen or aspirin could work. Also, using a heating pad or taking a warm bath helps sometimes. Some women say exercise helps get rid of cramps, especially exercise like swimming, yoga, pilates, or stretching. Meditation can be helpful, as can some herbs, tinctures or vitamins.
