Do you ever feel weak and almost light headed, on your period?

[Justnoenergy]

I have low ferritin, but not anaemia. But on the heaviest days of period I get sort of light headed, almost like I've had a few glasses of wine without drinking! I have passed out from period pain in the past, but this is different - it doesn't hurt, I'm just woozy.

I get extremely tired in the run up as well.

Does your period ever make you feel like this?

Yes I get so dizzy I can’t work for 1-2 weeks each month now

That sounds awful! What did your gp say, were they concerned for you?

Yes, I feel quite wiped out for 2 to 3 days.

All my limbs feel just a bit too light and floaty, which is making me slightly unsteady

They think it’s endometriosis I’m waiting for surgery. They prescribed an iron medication and strong painkillers as I do get pain as well but said I have to just wait for my operation And it’s really affecting my life I can’t get up some days

I am utterly exhausted and emotional a few days before and then have bad cramps for the first 2/3 days.

I used to be like this. I got the coil fitted so i haven't had a period for over 2 years. It's changed my life.
