i usually have sore and painful boobs. there are times that i have dysmennorhea but this is not as frequent as i have migraine. there are also times when i become so sensitive even if i shouldn't be.

I can tell you that i am having mine now, and i feel so sick, you would not believe it. I have fever and pains in my all body, and i am emotional to almost every word that is said to me. There are a lot of times that i do not have those feelings before i get my period, just when it starts, but there are times when it is terrible, like now.

Oh most woman have bad feeling before the onset of their monthly period, and yes you are right that your boobs would can be painful and heavy as well. Our temprement changes and we can be angry more quicker than normal. I used to have these same feelings but I had an operation and I do not have my periods any more thank goodness for that I have already had all my children and those days are over for me.

If you ladies think you have it bad, try being the boyfriend... *Cough* that's not what I meant, really... I'm just saying that despite missing the body parts, I do understand how bad it can be. I pains me to see my gal grabbing my arm in pain when it hits her suddenly. I always feel very helpless when I see her like that.

This is normal and common to all women previous to their period,tension, headache, water retention etc. Hydration can play a critical role in the severity of the symptoms that you mention

oh goodness, I am moody every month, even when I do not want to be. It just comes over me like a heavy blanket. I am peri menopausal now so I am not having the monthly period every month only some months. But I still get the symptoms.

Oh yeah, Im terrible when it comes to my period, I'm always in a mood, short tempered, have no patience at all and I get very emotional - hate it! I also get stomach cramps, very sore boobs the week before and get very lethargic. I hate it when I get my monthly period! I feel sorry for my son and hubby, I am not a nice person during that time :(

if you are a woman, this is just normal for us, isn't it?. I too had experience a pain around my boobs and a pain on my lower back and abdomen, and we are easy to be angry because we are not uncomfortable of the pain we are feeling. Me, to avoid this uncomfortable feeling,i have my regular exercise, coz exercise is the answer to ease the pain.

Moody ain't the word for it!! I'm major temperamental. My stomach aches, back pain, headaches...i hate the once a month visit from hell. It's the only reason i'm looking forward to when i hit menopause.

I don't get mood swings, and it usually passes event free. Though sometimes, on the first day, I do get a bit of a dull ache in my abdomen region, but it's not severe.

I'm one of those people that usually get really sick with mine for a couple of days, but I complained to my doc and he put me on a very mild birth control pill and it's doing wonders for every aspect of i.

I'm one of those who suffer from dysmenorrhea too. I would have pain in my lower abdomen, radiating from my thighs to my lower back. Sometimes it can really be painful that I become nauseated and I just start vomitting. I remember when I was still studying, I would skip my classes because I could not bear the pain anymore. I was too afraid to take in medicines that would alleviate the pain because of the unknown side effects that they might cause. I would just stay at home and apply hot compress on my lower abdomen to ease my discomfort.
