Anyone else ?

Question

I'm on day 3 of my cycle. It's very heavy and NY body hurts so bad. My muscles are killing me. Anyone else have this to ? I usually don't

Answer

I do when I'm not getting enough iron in my diet. Heavy flow will wipe me out.  I try to make sure I load up on green leafy veggies and add in some red meats before my period. Vitamins, too. Straight up iron supplements are hard on my tummy, so getting it from my diet is simple and no risk of overdose.

With the heavy bleeding, you aren't able to replace red blood cells fast enough. That causes weakness, fatigue and muscle aches (like you've had a rigorous work out) and a general blah feeling. It may be hard to wake up and get out if bed in the mornings of your heavy days...

Its important to discuss this with your doctor, too. Especially since you haven't experienced it before. They can do a simple test to see if you're anemic or if it's something else.

Hope you feel better!
