I get really really energy-less before periods. I'm listless and sluggish and become a couch potatoe. My legs ache and my back hurts and I want to sleep the whole time. Should I take an energy tonic or something?

Take a warm bath and then stretch!! You will feel sleepy after this, so then you can take a cooler shower or go for a fast paced walk or run.

I use to get the same way before I realized that I was anemic. I even got pale! Get a blood test to determine if you are. If health insurance is a problem, donate blood (not when you are menstruating) and they check all blood for anemia. If you are, they will inform you that you did not make a suitable donor because of your condition. I take iron pills (over the counter) about a week before I start and that helps a great deal. Good Luck

Don't overcompensate. If you pump up with too many stimulants you may just feel worse. Try some of the PMS medicines. And take a healthy dose of vitamins. Increase your protein intake. Stay away from starch and too much sugar. Drink juice, especially cranberry.

See your doctor. She/he might be able to help you become less "sluggish" (lol). And also, drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep/rest. It might help even just a little. Good luck, hope this works!

I know me too! I drink extra water and take iron supplements and B vitamins. Excercising will help too, even though you don't feel like it.
