After having a good few days and even longer without my really bad head, it has come back today with a vengeance and has thrown me into a full blown panic. I was wondering if any of u ladies get symptoms really bad when you get your period, and what your symptoms are. As it is the first day of my period today I am hoping that what I am feeling is because of that, but my head feels so heavy and I feel very dizzy and faint, I also feel very irritable and want to cry, I am also struggling to finish sentences. I can’t cope with this, how are we ever supposed to know ever again if we have an actual illness or not. I was starting to think that maybe I might be getting this flu, as a girl at work is off with suspected flu at the moment and she was coughing all over the place yesterday, but saying that I don’t have any cold symptoms like sneezing, coughing or sore throat, so am hoping it is all down to my period. If any ladies could let me know of their experiences I would be very grateful, thanks so much.
