Females only please...

Why do I feel like crap when I'm on my period? I always feel like I can't even get out of bed, including school days, but my mom doesn't let me stay home. Also, what should I do about cramps during the day, when I'm not home?

It messes with your hormones, try to avoid the junk food as that also brings you down. For cramps go to the health food store, in the homeopathic section get the little sugar pellets called "Sepia".

How does junk food make it worse? I already knew that it does, I just don't know how. Does it actually help?

@repeters1027: Our bodies need vitamins to function properly, not only does junk food not contain any vitamins it messes with the vitamins already in our system. Then there is the chemicals that are in junk food it messes with your brain chemistry.

if you can get midol you should use that. if not, put a heating pad or a hot towel on you lower stomach for about an hour (reheat if necessary) also drink warm water if you can. water is key

What about during school though?

try to sit crouched over slightly might work. like i said carry a water bottle if necessary. maybe even excuse yourself to the bathroom to take a few more pain relievers?

I had to stay at home today, my period pain was so bad. If I have to go to school, I wear a thermal vest. I find keeping really warm helps the cramps.

My mom doesn't let me stay home no matter how bad they are.

@repeters1027: I fainted in class yesterday and wet myself. The doctor said I had to rest in bed 😞

@TammieBear: My mom would still end up saying that i have to go to school.

The body is a wonderful thing isn't it.

Yes, I love getting in trouble for being violent because of mood swings...
