I am having this feeling like I don't feel well, kinda like my sugar is high but it's not. I felt this way last night too. Also very tired I'm sure it's because I'm starting my period. I hope that this doesn't mean every period I'm going to be sick. I'm keeping a close eye on my sugar since I've started. I've had a few high days because of a concert and a day of bad eating choices but then a high where I ate right the whole day. Hormones I think is the culprit. I know I work two jobs but I shouldn't feel so tired. It just started so I think it's the period yet again. Is there something I can do the week of my period so I don't feel blah the week every month?

I don't know.  You should ask your doctor.  The only suggestion I have is to get enough sleep, eat right (maybe up the protein) and continue some regular exercise.  Eat some food with more iron, like spinach.  Some of this feeling you have happens naturally, I think.  Also, if the weather is hot, that also saps our energy.

Sometimes it helps to limit your salt intake severely for the week preceding your menses; this can help prevent water retention, which can cause slight brain swelling and headache or that blah feeling.

I noTice it more in the mornings and then around 8 o'clock. Of it lasts more than a week I'm going to go to the doctor and see if I need to be taking a vitamin or if my b12 levels are low or not
