Menstrual CRAMPS!

Anybody got solutions to deal with cramps due to menstrual periods?? I have been having these cramps since the first time I had my period, at the age of 11.. so it's been like almost 12 freaking years!!! IT HURTS LIKE HELL!!! my symptoms are weird, I feel weak on both of my legs, I can't even get outta bed, a burning tummy and around my pelvis, it gives me goose bumps and I sweat like I were doing exercise!! HATE IT!! All this lasts for at least 3-4 days. It disturbs me when I'm working or having to go to school before, I had to skip few days at least every month just because of this symptoms. In mid 2006 I went to see a family doctor and she laughed as if it were a joke n simply said "Menstrual cramps are normal, live with it or take cramps pills!" SO FREAKING PISSED OFF!!! so please please... anybody... a little help to solve this issue?
