when i am near starting my period i get the worst stomachpains and headaches ever. i feel tired, lazy and can't move with the pain, i have to take up to a week off to recover almost every month and sleeping is the only thing i can do to stop me feeling the pain. i don't know what it is i am going to see the doctor but i just want to know if any other women have experienced something like this before? (p.s. i have been told it is not PMT)

Yes, I know what you are filling. I get cramping that is crippling. I also get tired and very emotional. I went to this site and it lets me track my symptoms. You could have pmdd. I hope your seeing a woman doctor. They could help you out better then a family doctor. You may have a to be put on birth control. I took that for a while and it worked really good with my symptoms. Birth control balances your chemicals in your body. I hope all that helped. here is a site for the pmdd i was talking about.....

well I don't know what PMT is but if you feel this way every month and your Dr isn't helping you then go to another one. I don't agree that it's not "normal" because everyone is different, but I'm sure that there are things that you can do to control your symptoms. Also you can go to a Pain Management Center, they help a lot in controlling pain so that you can go on with your life.
I would certainly make sure that you see a Dr though, because there is no reason to suffer just because you're a woman. PS. If you're Dr is unsympathetic (meaning they tell you, it's a period you're gonna have pain, cramps, etc) go to a male Dr. Stinks I know, I have endometriosis and couldn't get my female ob/gyn to even listen to me. I went to a male, he knew right away what it could be and treated it. He didn't say, We all have cramps honey....Good luck.

Yes I definately have. I used to get that plus I'd get EXTREMELY shaky and feel like I was going to pass out. It turned out that I didn't have enough iron in my blood so I took extra. They also gave me mild birth control pills to make my period lighter.. and it helped pretty well. Just talk to your doctor when you go, they will help you, because they know best!

Every time she would get her period, a good friend of mine would get deathly sick. She would throw up, have terrible cramps, and feel ready to die. It ended up that she had an ovarian cyst. Maybe this could be the culprit.

a lot of ladies have the same prob. get on birth control. birth control really helps shorten and lighten periods and make them more barable.

Find another doc........this is not in the area of normal.....not at all.....really, it's worth the trip to the doc to help, you are losing a week every month.....not to alarm you but you need help. good luck.
