Hi MB,
I am there with ya girl! The best thing I've found are those heating pads that you put on your tummy that adhere to your undergarment. I believe they are made out of charcoal or something - and found in the feminine product aisle at the store.

I have heard about using certain teas and supplements, like chamomile tea and evening oil of primrose, but I don't think it does much in the long run, sometimes if mine are really bad and I have to be around people other than my family I end up taking something, but being raw helps more than anything.
Here are some links about menstruation.

There was a really good one on a homeschooling site but I see they've suspended their account. It was on the Waldorf Homeschooling webiste.
