Does this happen to you on your period?? Ever heard of the pain being so bad?

Question

My friend's periods are usually quite ok, and she has mild cramps only on the first few days.

But the last time she got it, she was really ill the first day. She felt like throwing up, and she felt dizzy. Later the pain started becoming so bad, her eyes started watering. She was sweating and feeling cold at the same time.

but the flow and everything else was like usual?

Anyone had this happen before?

What can she do the next time it happens?

Answer 1

One do not listen to what hippie jesus said because he is my brother!!!

Tell your friend not to worry and that lots of people get it. my friend has had it before maybe no that bad but but very close to it with out the watering eyes. If it persues I suggest that she goes to the doctor to check she hasnt picked up anything which I doubt.

I really hope this helps for your s and her sake.

Answer 2

Answer 3

It might just be a one time thing

i have had this before so i know how she feels. what you need to do is : tell her to go to the doctors and they will prescribe some drugs for her. The most likely   reason she is feeling sick and dizzy is because of how bad the pain is , the body can't cope with the pain so it is making her sick and dizzy or also the loss of blood could be making her dizzy if she is anemic . One over cause is that she might have something wrong with her blood type which means she could have sickocell ( most common with afro carribean , africian  origin)so get the doctor test her blood , weight and take a urine sample . it is hard to say exactly what it is without going to the doctors . If its just the case that she needs tablets to ease the pain and it still isn't working the doctor could suggest her going on the pill or injections to stop the period for a while or stop it completely. But be warned that stopping it completely could decrease your chances of having a child .

I am taking medication prescribed from my doctor now called mefenamic acid tablets and these help but before these i was given tablets that didn't work so if pills that your doctor has given you don't work then keep going back and find out which pills work for you . Also you have to take tablets before your period has started overwise they won't work.

hope this helps

That kind of stuff would happen to me all of the time when I was younger.  I would vomit and get insanely dizzy.  At one point, I was on prescription muscle relaxers for the first couple days worth of symptoms as a result of my period.  My mother was the same way when she was a teenager.  

I would be doubled over, lying on the bathroom floor with horrific cramps and severe diarrhea.  It was awful.  It was like having the stomach flu.  My bleeding would be so bad that I would have wear two pads and I would sweat profusely.  

I never got a solid answer as to why my periods were so severe.  I did not have cysts or endometriosis or anything like that.  I just hate really horrible periods and that was about the only explanations I ever got from a doctor.  I ended up going on birth control pills to help.  

It got better as I got older and birth control pills helped tremendously.  I take Cyclessa and they do not cause weight gain and help if you have any skin problems.  They are low-dosage and I have always hated BC pills because of the weight gain and other various symptoms, but Cyclessa is like gold to me.

Good luck with your friend.  Tell her to see a doc and when the symptoms get bad, relax, take Midol (extra strength) or Pamprin, get a hot water bottle and try to take it easy.  If she is overweight and inactive, studies have shown that PMS and menstrual symptoms can be reduced with exercise and mantaining a healthy weight.  I always walk when I get bad cramps and even though I don't want to get up and out at first, the walking decreases the pain significantly.

Hope she feels better!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

yes, this can be normal, but still something your friend should discuss with her doctor....if for no other reason just so they have it on record. My periods used to be very severe, painful and draining. I was unable to walk when they would start. This began when i was fifteen. My doctor put me on birth control and I've been fine ever since. The hormones help balance things out and keep your period pretty pain free. But again, she should still talk with her doctor.

Answer 7

For a long period of time I was getting the exact same complications during my period. I went to chemists and asked for pills. It helped to reduce the blinding paint. Although my Mom said she had the same thing when she was my age,  I felt that it is not normal so I went to see doctor. She said that it will not stop until I will have had  s*x. so don't worry if its the same for your friend and she has not had s*x yet :)

Answer 8

This hasn't happened to me.

But my sister has this, she is like disabled for 2 days a month.

It's probably just a one time thing for your friend, if it happens again, she might want to talk to her GP.

She could be pregnant....

Answer 9

yeah, don't worry, i had that a few times and then i just sort of stopped happening. some months are just worse than others, and i'm sorry to say that it's just part of being a woman.
