Q: Illness during periods
asked by: evlstar on April 18th, 2009

About three years ago I lost four stone and ever since my periods have been very strange. They could be up to a week early. I'd feel very sick and sometimes vomit. I'd loose all my energy and often nearly fainted and would have to change night towels around every half an hour.
I went to my docs and she said as I didn't have a partner I couldn't go on the pill! About three months ago I went back and she put me on the pill and did a blood test. tests came back fine.
I am pleased that i'm on the pill even though it is taking its time to work on a few things, but I wish she would investigate the reasons behind why I have been so ill.
