Heather,
I do not know if you have been drinking herbal teas, but they really do help for pain. I understand taht it may not help enough, but I was able to get through my last menstrual cycle with no pain killers, only chamomile tea for the pain (oh, and my librax). If your pain is associated with gas or bloating drinking fennel may help ya out, too. Also, when I have bad inside pain I will eat ginger slices (you can find them at your local HFS), and it helps ALOT.
Maybe you can ask your doctor for an upgrade to a different antispasmodic? I was on Bentyl, than it seemed to no longer do anything and my doc put me on librax (generic brand acutally- Clinidium)
I have no advice for the cold, I am lucky enough to not get them very often.
Good luck, and hope you are feeling better
