Feel worse after period

Posted , 6 users are following.

Hello everyone, i have been dealing with perimenopause for 3 years now, i had pmdd very badly for 4 years before peri, and i swear i feel way worse after my period! This is the second day after my period i feel nauseous, tired, zero appetite, headache, brain fog, light headed, absolutely no energy.....why does this happen? I know you all dont have answers but it just boggles my mind that i have to feel this bad after putting up with feeling the pms before and during my period. I never have good days at all anymore. I just want this to end already. Tell me all of your symptoms if you have any after your period is over. I feel like i just cant function, in fact, this feels worse than before i started my period!

    I remember slightly the time I felt well just after my period. For more than a year I now feel equally bad all the time. Sometimes- worse after my period, just like you. I feel exhausted, depressed, anxious, nausea, no appetite, tingling, headache, indigestion, eye-ear-throat problems, to name a few. I don't know why it is happening, but know I cannot be helped- so I try to push through while I can. I wish I had words of optimism to give you, but I am just so tired.

      i have nearly all the above too!!! I just dont understand why only certain women have to suffer like this. What did we do that was so wrong? At first i thought it was cause i got the depo shot, but ive seen plenty of women on here with the same troubles who never has birth control! So what gives!! Im so tired of this kind of living
