Rant

Just want to get this off my chest...i am approaching the hut. More like tiptoe-ing towards it, it's kinda there, but mostly not, ya know? typical for me. However, I am DEAD tired. Anyone else get that way right before or at the onset of their period? A few months ago I couldn't life my arms--i was that tired.

*rant over*

Who here has daughters? Are they "women" yet? And either way, if they are, or when they are, do you plan on doing something special for/with her? I'm just looking for ideas. I have about 6-8 years to plan :)

when i first became a vegetiarian, i was really tired because i hadn't quite learned how to eat a proper diet and having my period made it worse, i was tired and cold all the time. I'm still cold and somewhat tired but it's gotten better.

Maybe you don't have enough (something) in your diet?

Probably Iron *shrugs* but I have an odd schedule (3rd shift and taking care of my 4 year old). Aside from severe lethargy once or twice a month, I'm ok. Not too cold. I had to take Iron pills when I was pregnant, but they made me constipated. *debates trying them again* god i just wanna sleep

Try an iron tonic of some sort.
I don't know what sort of brands there are where you live but here we have a healtheries womens iron tonic, and theres another iron tonic called floradix, which are both really good.

If you find something that works, I hope you'll post it to the group--I get the same thing. I actually slept for over 12 hours on a saturday during my period. And I was exhaused the whole rest of the day. :/ I've heard iron might help, so I'm looking into that. I hope you're able to find something that helps you!!
