Periods- The Pill- I feel so unwell :-( :-(

[Jess080990xo]

Hi everyone

I'm hoping someone can relate to me I'm meant to be on my period however I always carry on my pack of pills so I don't have it because my periods are horrific I feel 10x worse when I have one so I try and avoid as many as I can (silly I know) I have told my doctor don't worry ladies it's ok for now. So I guess my body still thinks I'm meant to have my period I just don't actually physically have it, so right now I'm meant to be on it and I feel awful I can't eat I feel sick constantly, I'm so tired I want to sleep for a week, I feel so weak and dizzy getting up is like Ive used every ounce of energy I have they make me feel like I'm actually dying I'm ok as long as I'm laying down and resting and even then i want to close my eyes and sleep. I dread this time of the month I don't understand why i feel like this my doctor wasn't concerned at all I suffer with anxiety and panic attacks so she always puts everything down to that or just says its hormones that's what they do unfortunately (yay great) I've always had horrible periods but never like this ever since i had my son my hormones just aren't the same maybe it's down to that?
Does anyone else feel any of these symptoms? I'm sitting here petrified and I'm hoping I'm not the only one so I can feel a little bit better
Please help anyone
Thank you

May I ask in what ways are your periods so bad?. Is it due to ongoing pain, heaviness etc?.

I would ask your GP to refer you to a gynae for further evaluation and do not take no for an answer. I think you have been and are being fobbed off; many GPs are simply not up to scratch when it comes to such issues. "Horrible" periods are not normal and you should not have to put up with it.

If the GP remains unhelpful see another or even think about changing GP practice.

In the meantime I would keep a daily pain and symptom diary as this can give the gynae clues.

Hi Jess. I agree with Attila, go back to the GP or perhaps try seeing a different doctor and stress how unwell you feel. Also, how long have you been on the pill? Has the doctor considering trying you on another pill? I have recently had the implant removed to go back on the pill and the first two types of pill I tried made me feel like death! I have now found the right one which I am happy with.
