Does this happen to anyone else?

For a few days before my period I get really nauseous. Not enough to throw up, but enough to wear I feel just ugh. i should mention that I suffer from endometriosis.

 

no girl, i have the same thing. except my symptoms are usually pretty bad a week before my period until its done. i have terrible periods, but as far as i know i dont have endometriosis, just bad periods . im starting birth control for it though so i'll see if that helps any....hopefully so!

 

sounds like pms, premenstrualsyndrome. people get all sorts of stuff. I get a hearache the two days before, and the first 2-3 days my stomache hurts really bad. ew. hell-

 

same thing happens to me. and does anyone else get really suicidal when theyre on there period?

 

This does happen to me *sometimes*, but not always. I've found that recently, it happens a bit more often than in the past.

Kastenfrosch: (bist du deutsch?) I like the picture But lately, I've been wondering if "Iraq" is maybe Arabic for "Armageddon"...

Bloody_Kisses: this has been known to happen to me in the past - there does seem to be a connection. But I'm a borderline with major depression, so I've been through more suicidal days than I care to remember. This past winter was especially harsh.

 

The nausea's caused by a drop in blood pressure. One way to avoid this is to eat small amounts of decent more often. Have your regular meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and eat inbetween. Slow-realise foods like bread, pasta etc are much better for you.
Hope it helps!

 

This happens to me with every period. It is as bad as a few days of morning sickness. I have both endometriosis (in remission) and chronic migraines (very active.) I think it is related to both. I have a prescription for a medication called Compazine, which is the only thing which allows me to get out of bed on bad days, with migraine and the nausea. I used to get REALLY sick when I was on the birth control pill, too, and the nausea is also related to the rise in estrogen at the beginning of your period.

I hope you are feeling better.

 

wow im lucky. i dont even get cramps that often. I used to get really bad headaches days before, but not anymore. its still a pain in the ass though.

 

Really? I never heard of that! I 'll have to try that next month.

Someone told me that too much cafeine may be the problem. I'm vegan so I eat healthy in general, but I have to have my cafeine. The sad part is that when I don't have any cafeine I get a headache that makes me nauseous!

 

Given that endometriosis involves menstral blood travelling into the abdomen (as I understand it) surely that is the reason. What treatment are you taking for it, hormones? None?

 

No treatment because we have no health insurance. I just take a lot of ibuprophen (sometimes 15/day) and loritab and percosets (when I can get a hold them) during my period.

 

Geez...thanks for rubbing it in our faces...I get the worst periods. Birth control helps, but I still usually can't go to class or work on my first heavy day. Booo...

i used to get the WORST cramps.... well, without being too detailed.. for two days straight id soak thru a super pad in an hr. or less... clotting... MIGRAINES..... etc., etc. - it was horrible


now i take birth control and my cramps are not bad AT ALL. it's such a nice relief. i now get really bad pms though with headaches and neaseau and other things....

grrr, man!! men are lucky- all i gotta say!

 

that used to always happen to my friend...but now she hasn't had her period for a long time so I guess she has a whole new set of problems....
