ice cravings indicate a low level of blood cells, or anemia. this is due to the blood loss when menstruating, which also accounts of being more tired, as i bet you are, am i right? the thirst is there. becuase of the need to replenish blood volume. make sense? hope this helps

I think It happens becuase of the hormone changes sweetie cuz like when we get our periods alott of changes are happening in our bodies and thats just the craving and changes that happens to you dont worry its normal every girl gets some sort of change for example I get a craving for a certin type of food and I get lots of zits :)

sounds like you get dehydrated on your period. try drinking things like Gatorade it replaces lost electrolites that make you so thirsty. if it becomes a real problem after you try the Gatorade, then see your doctor, they can get you something else to help.
