This is about the 3rd time this has happened....tell me if it is coincidence.
I woke up in dire pain around 3am, felt like the Devil was playing a knife game in my intestines.
I made it to the bathroom and had the worst case of diarrhea. My period is due any time, at day 25. I feel very, very gassy in my stomach and it is working like crazy, hedache, fatigued.
I have heard of Women talking about intestinal problems before their period. Does it sound like what I have? I had the same thing about 3 months ago and thought it was from something I ate/drank but it is exactly the same this time around.
Any input would ease my mind....have a 10 hour flight at 7:30 am on Thursday and am so worried about a stomach virus
Hi girlsmom ........
yeah, I get this too ...not fun! I get it worse before my period, at least LATELY i do ... i used to get this at any old time, but it seems LATELY i get it much worse before a period .... that's IF the period even comes .... if not, or if my period is really late...then, this whole intestinal thing GETS MUCH WORSE! so, yeah, i know what you are feeling, ...when this happens to me, i just curl up in a ball on the couch and watch movies or something, because it's to much to even get up and deal with life, or whatever. .... i am also dealing with IBS which, i've had on and off for years, but not bad at all.....UNTIL PERI!!!! Once that kicked in......forget about it! So, now, the IBS tends to flare up more frequently as well....you may be dealing with that too, ..... now, i know women who never had IBS in their life, and once peri started, so did IBS ....so, there you go .... i hope you feel better soon, and don't worry, this is all part of this peri thing, or perhaps you are dealing with IBS.....either way, it's not anyting to worry about, but it sure can be painful and depressing, that's for sure....
i hope you feel better !!!!
