  See the book "No More Menstrual Cramps ... and other good news"
(came out about 2 years ago).
  A friend had severe cramps (popping codeine like candy), until
she went on the Pill.  However, she did not like some of the side
effects and health risks associated with the Pill.  After reading
the above book, she started taking Motrin (sp?) just a few days
each month, and completely controlled her cramps.  Motrin is
also an anti-prostaglandin like aspirin and the others mentioned
in Steve Dyer's article in net.women.only.  I think I recently
heard that Motrin will be available over-the-counter soon -
can anyone confirm this?
