Uh, hum. That time of the month . . . (for women only)

Lately it seems that when ever 'that time' roles around I'm wiped out. I go, go, go, go and then I feel like a truck hit me and I hardly have the energy to get up in the morning. It takes me a week to catch up with the mess I can't clean during . . . Just wondering if this is a common problem. Sorry about the sensitive issue but I figure most of us are women. Thanks! Hydi

I haven't had a period in ten years.....so I can say that I don't know how to help ya. When I did, I would be able to get out of bed for about a week before during or after. I was wiped. But, I am fine now. Sorry I couldn't be of more help...... Donna

Geez, lucky girl! Thanks for taking the time to reply.

My periods have been all messed up since surgery. Some so light, some so heavy. I always have that 'hit-by-a-truck' feeling the first 2 days. this period has been BARELY there for 3 days now.....but I'll take that over the heavy ones anytime. I really envy those who don't have them....I'm done having kids, so I wi**** was over for me. Tracey
