When I'm about to get my period I get really achy and all shivery... it didn't happen prior to surgery...I was wondering if anyone else has this?

I don't get shivery but my legs ache terribly now and that never happened before surgery. The first month I thought it was all in my head- but my legs don't ache at other times during the month... Have you heard of any reason it might happen? I haven't- I should think to ask my doctor...

I'm going to the doctor today and I'm going to ask him...just to see if it's normal to feel weak and things like that...

It's probably Iron related...

I was thinking that too. Maybe ill increase it for a few days

I get real weak right before and during. They checked for anemia but my blood work is always good. I also get hungry as all get out. Then the day or night before I get flu like symptoms

That's exactly how I get!! I do know though that before I had surgery they said I was anemic and I didn't know I was. Maybe that's causing me to be extra tired.

I am actually going next week to schedule a hysterectomy. I am 43 and had tubes tied 20 years ago. I am tired of all the pain and bloating and sometimes 2 periods a month
