Since being diagnosed with fibromyalgia early last year, this is the first menstrual period where I have noticed an intensity in my sleep. This morning I woke up feeling literally hungover and I haven't had a drink. I was dizzy and shaky. My trapezius is VERY sore but what is most shocking is my tiredness! After waking up I had some bran cereal and went back to sleep for another 5 hours.
Has anyone experienced anything like this with Fibro and menstruation?

I get really tired and here lately I feel sick when I start. I have never had problems with my cycle, esp getting sick, but now I do. Sometimes I need some extra sleep, but usually it's a headache and increased fibro symptoms. I don't think I needed that much sleep, maybe just really tired all day and no energy.

I also tend to get VERY sleepy when it's that time of the month. One night I actually went to bed at 6:30 and didn't wake up until 10:00 the next morning!!!

I get nausea and since keeping my journal i get my burning a skin sensations full on a lot worse mid cycle and CD 1 or 2. I have always had really heavy, clotty painful periods. I am wondering if I have endometriosis. My mom did and my aunt as well the OB refuses to check as he does not want to open me up... Something def goes on for me during menstruation.

If your period is heavy you should probably get blood test for anemia

I also used to have very heavy periods with clotting, and seemed to always be anemic. I finally had a hysterectomy about 11/2 years ago. I would always have that "tired to the bones" feeling for about a week before I started, and it would last for about 2 days into it.

That's strange... Just recently, I noticed I had dizziness and nausea when I woke up, and was incredibly tired all week. I'm on the Depo shot, so I haven't have a cycle for over 8 years now. So I have no idea when I'm supposed to start... But I had the same dizziness and nausea twice, and both started toward the end of the month. I wonder if this is the same thing that you all are experiencing.
