Horrid Period Pains

Posted , 2 users are following.

Ugh feel so horrid today, period arrived with a bang at 3am this morning! thanks so no sleep from then as the cramps had started with a vengeance!

Thanks mother nature! Not like i have to work today!

Sitting here miserable, cold (even though it is warm in the office) feeling dizzy every now and then too.

Just wondering if my Iron levels are low to cause the dizziness too, might see what GP says about taking some iron tabs to see if that helps.

What meds do you use and do they work for you?

Ive had anadin Period pain tablets but they have now been discontinued by supermarkets! that helps!

    Just relax!

    Same as you, but I am even poor.

    My period is usually arriving at 9:00am but sadly, this time arrived in the middle of the day, blood suddenly bursted out in my underwear but luckily, not on my dress!

    Unfortunately, I am a Primary teacher and it is Year 1 interview, Duh!

    Use warm bags, it helps a lot!
