ok well every month when i get my period i get EXTREMELY sick. I'm talking the works. I throw up almost everytime more than once and have killer killer cramps. I must have tried every medicine there is out there. I know people say to take it the night before but I never have any idea when its coming because im still irregular. I have to stay home at least one day from school every month and i cant take it anymore. Does anyone know any way to stop this, anything would be appreciated.

Vikki27 answered Tuesday March 28 2006, 4:55 am: You'd be surprised how many women suffer the same every month! Obviously experiences differ. For example, I get a really bad headache the day I get my period. Others do get sick with it. Some people get dizzy and so on.
The best thing you can do is to see your doctor and get yourself put on The Pill. Although it's primary use is as a contraceptive, it also can be used to control periods and PMT. The chances are you are getting so ill every month because you are irregular. There are a lot of different pills out there so it may take a while to find one that suits you but as you do sound like your suffering quite badly, it's a good idea to get it sorted as soon as possible.
As a side note, make sure you drink more water than normal in the few days before you think you might get your period. The reason you get cramps is because your body is trying to push out blood clots from that area. Drinking more water should help to thin the blood a little and help it pass through more easily.

I'm on sesonal and it really tones down the cramps, plus you'll only get your period 4 times a year... I also use LiQuid Adult tyenol... it doesn't help with bloating but it takes the cramps away...
ForfeitYourDream answered Monday March 27 2006, 4:54 pm: You could possibly have a disease known as endometriosis. It's known to cause killer cramps and make you very VERY sick during your period. I'd go to a doctor for a diagnosis, but, like the columnist under me said, you shouldn't be vomiting or having that severity of cramps.
