Ears, nose and throat

hey do any of you girls on here feel bad weakness during periods? yesterday and today its hard for me to get up and move around i feel so weak and exhausted and just right before i started was able to move around more cook and do chores and light exercise but ever since i started my cycle its like im constantly laying down and scared to move too much expecially with the woozy feeling in head that makes it worse

I found that any kind of stress on my body caused the symptoms to be worse, including my period.

August was 1 year for me. They say it takes a full year and I believe it. I feel back to normal now. My first 2 months were terrible and I thought I was dying. The next 6 months was very up and down. Around the 9 month mark, I started seeing a real difference.
It takes a minute, but eventually you will get back to normal.

Hi Katelyn,

Yes, the symptoms are always worse right before my period. In fact, when this all started I thought I maybe had something hormonal going on because I was only noticing the symptoms the week prior to my period. I’m not sure if the immune system drops a bit before our periods or if our periods just add stress to the body and make existing issues worse-but I can tell I am still not 100% better because I definitely still feel super weird before my period. The muscle weakness is worse or comes back and my PMS symptoms are exaggerated.

the beginning i felt like i was dying too i swore i had something much worse… the first few months were the worst…im 9 months in now and am feeling the ups and downs for sure its like a rollercoaster…im so happy that you have recovered and thank you for the encouragement i do believe it takes a year too because after so many months just still feeling awful for the most part

I feel like I still have the majority of them, they are just less intense and happen less frequently.
