No. There are some things you can do to help yourself. About mid cycle of your period you need to cut back on junk foods, soft drinks, high sugar items, coffee and salt. I know you might crave some of these things but they contribute to the problems of PMS. Also you need to get more sleep and get some form of exercise. Over the counter products like Midol can help you too. When the cramps start drink hot tea and use one of the Back pain heat wraps or a hot pad. The Birth Control pill can also help. I had awful PMS and took the birth control pill to live a normal life, so talk to your doctor.

Is it possible for a woman whom suffers from PMS and or PMDD to take any form of pain reliever instead of being on any form of birth control or what?
It depends on what problems she has with the PMS etc. PMS is more then pain. It can also be depression, anger, crying etc. It's a whole range of things included in PMS. If she is on birth control pill the pill helps against all of that because it contains hormones. A painkiller just takes care of the cramp. Also the pain and bleeding often is reduced when on the pill. When you have real pain the pills helping for that can be so strong that you really are bedridden, vomits and feel sick anyway and this can last for days. But this is always the woman's choice. Only she knows how much hell she has every month.
Can i get cramps and bleed if i started taking birth control?
If you have been having PMS and cramps the pills will help and may take away much of it. I used the pill for 20 years to stop PMS and cramps and it helped me. No doubt about it. Your periods will get shorter and lighter after a few months/years on the pill.
Will coming off the contraceptive pill ease your PMS as you feel it never helped anyway?
This is difficult to honestly answer. If you originally started taking BC pills because you've suffered from PMS symptoms, then its unlikely stopping BC pills will ease your PMS symptoms. Its possible that changing to a different BC pills will ease your PMS symptoms.
What does it mean when your cramps are really bad?
It means you have cramps. I use to get them VERY bad and here is how you help yourself. My guess is that you also have PMS. Before your period when you begin to ache and hurt start to cut back on sugar ( you may crave it, but it doesn't help you) and junk foods. I would buy Mitol an over the counter pill that helps with cramps and PMS. When the cramps start drink hot tea and put a heating pad on your tummy ( you can get one of the back ache pads they sell now and wear it under your clothing ). Lie down if you can on your side. With these things your cramps will be less. I got on the pill because of the cramps and the PMS and it solved all of my problems. Go see your doctor he can also help you.

What is the best pms medicine?
Midol - helps cramps bloating etc
What is a period pill?
I think what you're referring to is the birth control pill. Doctors sometimes prescribe the birth control pill to women who have irregular periods in order to help get their periods regular. There is no specific pill out there strictly for periods, unless you are thinking of Midol which is used to combat PMS symptoms like cramps.
What are some health benefits of birth control pills?
Birth control pills will stop the PMS if you have it and regulate your monthly cycle. This will improve you life if you have these problems like I did. Since the pill came out in the 1960's there has been debate on the effects of the pill, so there is no true answer here. I now hear the same things about hormone replacement. Talk to your doctor, look at all the facts, and do what you think is good for you.
