i started my period yesterday, and woke up to awful dull cramps today. this then turned into faintness and nausea! ofc!! i ended up being stuck on my floor, shaking, drenched in sweat and accepting my near death. i had to revive myself by putting my shower on ice cold and sitting under it. it was genuinely the worst my period has ever made me feel out of the 7 years i’ve been dealing with it and my flow isn’t even heavy. is there any particular reason why it’s been so bad today and can i avoid it in future or is this just another thing we have to deal with?
