I have been starting to feel terribly and uncontrollably tired and dizzy a couple days before and the first few day at the start of my period. I also get hot and cold flashes and feel extremely sick to my stomach. I am debating on going to see a doctor about this as it affects how I function during the day and is starting to affect my work. I know it is only a week of hell every month, but it is becoming hard to deal with. Does anyone else suffer from this? What do you do to help cope with it? Your help and insight would be much appreciated :o)

I am anemic and I have some issues close to that but I try to double up on my iron. Maybe you should get your blood work done and find out if you are anemic or perhaps your hormone levels will too cause the body to go out of whack

You need to increase your intake of the B vitamin complex. Go to the pharmacy and get yourself a good brand of multivitamin B complex tablets. A deficiency in B12 will produce extra heavy bleeding hence menstrual problems. Increase your intake of liver, beef, eggs and kidney. A deficiency in B2 (Riboflavin) will produce dizziness. Eat more milk, cheese, fish and eggs. Also manganese - nuts, green leafy vegies, peas, beets and egg yolks.
Recommended daily intake for B12 is 2.2mcg, B2 is 1.2 - 1.7mg and for manganese there is no official daily allowance but between 2 - 5 mg is the National Research Council's recommended average adult requirement.
PEACE & GOOD HEALTH

When I PMS I bloat and feel tired and bitchy all day long. Sometime sI just feel like a total emotional wreck. Altho I dont think I've ever felt it uncontrollable. So yeah, I think you should go see a doctor.

Some girls suffer more than others from PMS. Your doctor can advise as to what may help these symptoms. There is no reason to let this go unchecked. There are many things on the market today that can help.

I started suffering from this when I entered peri-menopause. It's not uncommon. See a doctor. They will probably tell you it's your hormones and they may be unbalanced. I started using bio-identical progesterone cream and it has worked wonders for me. When I use it, I don't even know my period is coming.
