I'm pretty much "out of order" from few days prior to my period, until 5 days after.

I become extreme a week before I start. Extremely mad for no reason. Then extremely sad and cry over everything. Then extreme pain when I start. It's very stressful. I've tried the pill for years. Then iud. Which I felt all the time. And the needle which I would flop from happy to sad to mad every minute.

I always know when I am about to start because the pain intensifies right before. My doctor told me that it happens to a lot of women who have fibromyalgia and it's totally normal.

I also have flu like symptoms everytime my period comes on I also feel like I have a fever,with cold chills.

Thank you. I had a DVT and PE a few years ago and can't take any hormones. I was on the pill for 25 years. Once the dr made me go off my periods got really bad. I've only been suffering from fibromyalgia for about a year and these last few months I've noticed the circulation. There is nothing I can do about it unfortunately. I was just wondering if it was normal. Thanks.
