tired of beeing tired

Posted , 4 users are following.

hei again, I am so fed up of beeing so tired for 2 / 3 days when I have my period, next to neck , shoulder pain and migrene. I feel depressed that I can not funktion on those days and my kids have to tip toe around me , as my head explodes and I have no strength left on those days.

Dr. says I just should take it easy those days but I can not be every month in my "women tippi" for 3 days . Any one out there who has advice, comfort , the same experience ???

    So, sorry, I would encourage you to get a CBC panel, iron, ferritin, and transferrin...For years, I had a crap doctor who led me to believe it was all in my head, making it up, and just depressed.  Turns out I have iron deficiency anemia which is commonplace for women with heavy periods.  It took a change of doctor and many years lost to slowly wasting away for me to be diagnosed...Something else to look into is uterine fibroids.

    Good luck!

      Hey how are you? I came across your post searching on the internet for any help after myomectomy severe back pain and lightheadedness with no pain medication taken to be a factor im 6 days out. Any help will be so appreciative for I wasn't expecting my back to be the sole issue of unbearable pain and being lightheaded.

    Hey I have the same problem. I have very heavy periods, constipation and awful cramps and migraines before during and after. A year ago I was told I am b12 deficient and I now get injection. I was told by a doctor in my surgery that folic acid, vitamin b complex and vitamin D all help with pain, cramps, mood, period flow. I have been taking them for 3 weeks now so I am hoping they work. This doctor specialises in contriception and periods and stuff and this is what she suggested for me. Migraines I have suffered with for a very long time so o don't know if it's related or not as I get them 5/7 days. Maybe try the folic acid and vitamins and see if that helps
