weirdest period ever.
ok usually on periods i have weird cravings like i want jellybeans and hotdogs. but this one.. is just plain weird. like i feel really nauseous (usually i feel nauseous on my periods, and i throw up on one day of the cycle.) but i havent thrown up.. and i dont feel like eating. im afraid since i know i need food to survive. like 2 days ago all i could muster to eat was a sandwich w/ milk for breakfast and piece of cornbread for dinner. and water occasionally. and today i had another sandwich w/ avocado for breakfast and for dinner i could only have 2 bites of my spaghetti cause i felt so bloated and full. i hate it.. cause now my stomach and body kinda hurts.. i take long baths since they help.. and the tylenol doesnt stop everything. like i had a terrible headache yesterday and at random points of the day especially today i feel like dizzy and lightheaded. just out of it, basically. wtf is up with this? my periods used to just be all crampy, nauseous then throw up one day, and cravings. this sucks. any good explanations? 13/f and ive had my period since i was 10

It sounds like some version of a stomach flu on top of PMS. I have no other explanation, other than bad PMS. If you're not on birth control, you might want to consider it - it helps regulate hormones, and it can help with bad PMS problems. One of my friends had that problem, she used to get such bad cramps that she'd pass out, and once she got started on birth control, her symptoms got a LOT better.
I highly suggest you talk to your mom about it.
Anyway, try sipping on diluted juice, or juice if you can stomach it, if you're worried about survival. When you're body's messed up, you need sugar (juice is easiest). Munch on saltines, and stay away from things that are hard on your system. Eat light things. Drink light things. Stay hydrated.
Long baths are a good idea - heating pads are good, too. Walking is supposed to help relieve cramps (nothing too aggressive, just moving around), too.
Good luck, feel better!

i dont think there's any real explanation for this. but trust me i know where you're coming from. im on my period now and i've barely eaten anything more than some popcorn or a sandwich. i use advil, but as you said pain relievers dont help everything. what helps my bloating is heating pads and those hand massager things lol but they make my cramps go away. as for your nausea and dizziness, you might be sick. that sounds like a stomach bug on top your period [sry if it is tht wud seriously suck lol]. hope ive helped!!!
