The 4th day of my period is the worst. I dread it so much. I could be fine for the whole the day then boom, sudden sharp stomach pain followed by cold sweats and sometimes diarrhoea. Those won’t stop until I pass huge blood clots. I sometimes avoid going out before that weird phenomenon has occurred. When it happens in public, I either seclude myself or attempt to thug it out. Second option is always awkward. I mean…someone suddenly going silent ,and having cold sweats mid conversation then being normal again, followed by « oh it’s fine» as if they didn’t almost pass out right there, is weird.
I have done hormonal blood tests before. One pointed out thyroid issues, the second said everything was fine.
Non-related: Recently started taking high amounts of multivitamins and creatine. It’s helped reduced cramps intensity and made my PMS depression more manageable. Being mentally functional for 4/4 weeks per month instead of spending 1 week of suicidal ideation and another of toe curling pain has been a bliss. This said, the day 4 phenomenon persists.
