Anyone else get TIRED during their periods?

It takes at least 12 months after you've been anaemic for iron levels to get back to normal.

Lots of foods have good sources of iron, as well as fortified breakfast cereals.

Also you need to consume a source of Vitamin C with the iron source to help your body absorb it.


What happened to me is my doctor said my iron wasn't low, but it was, the ferritin level which is the iron stores were low. My hair was falling out, tired, irregular periods, blah blah blah.

I get suicidal before, and during my period. It weakens me, all around.

yah zzzzzzzzzzz real bad

Yup. I get tired, sick, malcoordinated, and pretty much everything vile

I get a bit tired during my period. I don't eat red meat or organ meats, which makes it hard to get enough iron.

I also often get this weird thing about mid-cycle, a pain in this little zone beneath my ribcage near my spine, in either side, most times it's dull but last one felt like someone had heated up some needles and stuck them into me. And it makes me feel like you do when you're hypoglycemic, all weak and shaky and a bit sick.
