Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS) Support Group

I've had since i was 12 years old painfull periods. I've never had regular cycles however i could usualy pin point the date it would start weither it skiped a month or not it usually started the last week of the month. Then after about 7 months or so it wouls skip a month and switch to the begining of the month. I've been on the depo needle for over a year in 2006-2007. then went off it when we tried to have a baby. my periods became to painfull. I am on it again and love not having a cycle however its not the same as last time i was on the needle. I stoped having my period last time right away and this time I've had 2 periods 2 weeks apart and i bleed for 18-20 days. The cramps come and go and hurt like hell. I wish the pain would go away. my dr perscribed me a new medication but it doesn't help at all it causes actually stomach problems even though its coated for sensitve stomachs. Has anyone been put on medication that helps or does anyone know what else i should be telling my dr. I've tried to use heating pads hot baths advil my pain medication and nothing is helping and I'm not bledding more then a drop or 2 and it looks like diluted blood ( TMI i know but its the only way i know how to describe it) even anything natural would help. I'm willing to try anything at this point.
