Does anyone else get sick when they have their period?

I don’t know which section to put this in, so I’ll just put it here…

Without fail, every time I have my period, I begin feeling ill. My stomach hurts, my head hurts, I get chills or I get really hot, I get diarrhea, the whole shebang. I asked my mom to take me to the doctor, but she said that there’s nothing the doctors can do. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so, please tell me what you do to deal with it.

It’s surprisingly normal to feel that way. Especially the period poops.

Man that sucks. Somehow, I don’t get irritable, so I guess that’s fortunate. I try to continue about my daily business, but it seems to be getting worse. Like right now, I am absolutely floored. I do wonder though, if I could somehow just get rid of the pain, then maybe I wouldn’t feel so ill.

Do you get really bad cramps? I used to in my teens, and my gynecologist gave me prescription strength naproxen. It did help.

Yes I do. Really bad… I will ask my mom to take me to the gynecologist then. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

How is your treatment going? Are you feeling okay?

I start taking ibuprofen 800 mg every 8 hours the first day and it helps me not feel as ill and keep taking it into day 2 and start feeling better by day 3. Then I don’t feel Ill anymore. And some months are better than others. If you have bad cramps this works, but you have to take it on a schedule to keep the pain at bay. A doctor told me this.

I rarely ever get mine anymore, but it seems my psychotic symptoms get worse around that time.
And before I had my tonsils taken out, they’d swell up.
