Answer 2

Well I'm 45 and I've always have had the worse kind of cramps, mood swings and aching back. And no there is nothing wrong with you!

Answer 3

When I was in my mid thirties mine got worse and worse. Finally, I found out my uterus was solid fibroids. It was four times the normal size. I had to have it removed. I wish I had gone and had this checked earlier. The pain was due to a twisted messed up uterus. No wonder the cramps and bleeding got so bad!

Answer 4

Estrogen fades as you get ready to start a period. Estrogen helps keep insulin under control. Insulin, thus, can go wild. The purpose of insulin is to open the "cell's mouths" to let food and water in. Thus, right before your period, insulin is madly tucking food and water in cells, causing bloating and weight gain, and other symptoms of PMS.

The food insulin tucks in cells is blood glucose. If insulin tucks in too much glucose (a condition known as hyperinsulinemia), it can result in there being too little blood glucose in the blood stream for the rest of the body to use during the day (a condition known as hypoglycemia).

Ask your doctor for a fasting insulin blood test . Ask for a copy of your results. 10 or higher is abnormal for an adult.

Also ask for a saliva test. This test will tell you if any of your feminine hormones are not at the best levels. I do not like doctors who prescribe hormones for feminine problems without testing first. When that happened to me - the shot he gave me switched me from low blood sugar to diabetes.

Your symptoms (all of them) could be related to low blood sugar. They sound quite like mine, the mood swings and the bad cramps, and other, non period related symptoms. You may want to check out www.hufa.org, and click on the symptoms link to check yourself out.
