Period Pain

I suffer from the whole shebang. I get the pms and the crying, mood swings, depression and the works with the time of the month coming on. Then the anger, emotional outbursts start. I can go through an entire spectrum of emotions in a mere couple of minutes not to mention the excruciating cramps that feel amazingly like labor pains.

It is common for women to suffer pain associated with their normal menstrual cycle. One type of pain that you may experience is congestive pain. This occurs a few days before your period and usually improves when bleeding begins. Women describe this pain as a deep, dull ache. Pain during your period is known as dysmenorrhoea. Dysmenorrhoea is usually classified into primary or secondary dysmenorrhoea.

i think most of the women experienced that..it is uncomfortable.

Yes. It's natural for us women to feel and experience that.

nope!!! hahaha I know not really that funny... :)

yes i get stomachache, back pain, migraine and i get quite depressed at that time. i know its natural but it still sucks. what sucks even more is when im moody and my bf asks me if ive got my period. men can be so insensitive sometimes

My mood swings are at it's peak just before and during my period. I'm a sensitive person to begi n with, so you can just imagine how "on edge" I am when I'm on my period..it doesn't take much to bring me to tears. I also feel really crampy during this time, but that's nothing compared to the mood swings that I experience.

I get a little moody but mostly emotional; I crave chocolate and if I don't have some, I feel like I am going to go insane. My periods are really heavy so I have a lot of back cramps to deal with. Sometimes I take some over the counter meds to deal with that but I try not to unless the pain is really bad.

During my first day of my period I always suffer headache and some of my joints and sometimes I feel sick.I just wonder why we need to suffer like this?

I do, just like clockwork. I even have food cravings. I thought after having kids, the pains would go, but it didn't.

I used to have very very bad period pains and when I say bad I mean I used to pass out in pain. It was a whole nightmare for me for 10 years. I have fainted and passed out in pain in so many places. Then I went on the pill and now I dont even notice when I get my period. No pain. Nothing. Its really changed my life!

I used to suffer from feeling sick on the first day of my period. It's gotten a lot better now. Oddly enough on my period and a little bit after it's over I'm emotional. More sad/crying then cranky. And I experience food cravings of both salt and chocolate. Nestle Flipz snack is perfect when I have the craving.

thanks for asking this. I just asked a question somewhat like this. I really want to know how other women experience it too. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one.

yes I had suffered from them all and still do they are not much fun at all . But as women we all go through at one stage of our lives some are worst then others .

i havent feel it and i will not.haha.but i think most women are in moody and tempered in that period of time.
