Has anyone experienced this...

During my cycle this month, heading into it and when I was going off of it, I experienced extreme fatigue. I also had a lot of gas and bloating. My stomach looked like I was heading into my fourth month of pregnancy. Thankfully it went back down after a couple of days into my cycle but I was so bloated that I didn't really want to eat. Ugh! Then I went to lie down because I feeling fatigued and woke up feeling worse than before I layed down; like I had been run over by a freight truck! When will all of this end?????!

      For me caffeine or chocolate makes my symptoms worse. I need to modify my foods around this time to see what is an irritant and what isn't.

    Yes I have been pretty religious about taking my vitamins and it seemed like it helped because I was feeling better for a while and then all of a sudden...wham! The symptoms are back. No fair, no fun!

    Hi - I also suffered from dreadful fatigue, I would need to lay down for a rest. I even used the sickbay for an hour at work. I started taking B6 150mg as advised from another lovely lady on this website. A couple of months on & the tiredness has gone, so amazing B6 works!

    I do get bloating & use wind-ezee from the chemist they work!

    Good luck! X
