Is it normal to sometimes wake up dizzy when you’re on your monthly?

I’m on day 3.. I woke up and stood up and almost fell over so I had to lay back down 😅

Perhaps a mild case of hypoglycemia if you are not eating much during that time, and possibly dehydration as well. Also, if you are lying down a lot and suddenly jump up with all the intensive activities going on in your uterus and body, orthostatic hypotension is normal too. The best thing I ever did was have my uterus removed...before it killed me.

@TexChik how did you convince them to remove your uterus? Just for future reference I know I want mine removed eventually

@MommaBear I noticed one little spot of blood on my panties. I told my doc ( next door neighbor) and she got me in for a smear. It was bad. A scan with contrast showed the cancer was a little spot in my Uterus. The next day my friend took me to the best gynecologist surgeon she has ever seen ( and she's the head of trauma at our local hospital ). She was a small oriental woman with the personality of a shoe. But she was brilliant.

The surgery took a couple of hours and I was in recovery for a day. It was done laparoscopically. She also took 200 tissue samples ( biopsies ) with mapping. It was carcinoma in situ and would have been a disaster had it spread.

Thus far all subsequent PET scans have been clear.

😌👍

@TexChik I’m sorry that was the reason but I’m glad everything has been clear since 🤗

@MommaBear It was scary, but doc pushed me to move on it and 2 days later...it was done. Very little pain, and you would have to really hunt for the scars. Thank you. I was fortunate. But still, I do not miss the periods. 😉

@TexChik It seems most brilliant people have the personality of a shoe. I guess there are tradeoffs.

@lasergraph Hi, I'm Sandal. 🤣

When it comes to Surgeons and Law School Professors...I agree.

How are you?

@TexChik I'm good. My wife used to work for a doctor, a pathologist, and I tried taking to him once, I would rather talk to the shoe.
