I've both it's about that time, but I'm also anemic and I don't know really touch and go, and every time my blood count gets lower at a 9 I guess maybe lower than that been taking iron pills on my own. I don't like the chest pains and dizziness and feeling like I'm going to fall out, justdon't like it trying so hard to get better and feel better but I just don't know what to do I guess doctor's will wait until my blood gets lower really praying it doesn't but this is really scary they say blood work is okay but why do I feel like this ? Literally just want to cry my eyes out really wish they would tell me what to do, because everytime it is this with that time a terrible emotional rollercoaster and I just don't understand why.

Soul,
I get the same way around my time of the month. I'm sure being anemic doesn't help, either.
I find that eating really iron rich foods during this time (leafy greens, steak, red meat) helps tremendously. That, and plenty of rest and taking care if YOU.

Soul,

I also suffer A LOT around my time of the month. It helps me to remind myself that part of why I'm feeling this way is hormones. Honestly another thing is to just let myself have the feelings. If I need to cry, I just do. Sometimes it helps to get it out.

I would definitely take Blu's advice too! Iron rich foods makes good sense to me. Maybe I'll have a steak for dinner myself tonight!

Soul,

Some people do not get enough Iron/B12 through the digestive process, and therefore must take it by sulingual means (under the tongue where it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the mucus membrane) or in shots.

If after taking your iron pills for awhile, if you are still anemic...ask your doctor about these alternatives ways to up your B12.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

S.C.
