For women with extreme PMS, Midol is useless!! My roommate used to have crippling cramps -- when we were in highschool, to the point where she was bedridden for days. She went on the Pill and they've subsided.
I had the prescription drug ANAPROX and believe me, it was manna from heaven. It might not work for extreme cases though...here's a blurb:
------------------------
Anaprox and Naprelan are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used to relieve mild to moderate pain and menstrual cramps. They are also prescribed for relief of the inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis), and for ankylosing spondylitis (spinal arthritis), tendinitis, bursitis, acute gout, and other conditions. Anaprox also may be prescribed for juvenile arthritis.
The over-the-counter form of naproxen sodium, Aleve, is used for temporary relief of minor aches and pains, and to reduce fever.
