Apart from the actual period pain , does anyone feel "better" when they come on their period! I feel like most of my symptoms and troubles are during the weeks before my period ! It's like 3 weeks out of 4 is hellish mood swings and pain then I start my period and even though I have pain it's like abit of a veil is lifted and I feel like myself for a few days then I'm actually in a good mood for a couple of days then boom back to the grind stone again !

Can totally relate to what your saying, although period pains are horrid all other symptoms do seem to calm down for a little.

This is totally me. I find it so weird but around the 4th day of my period, my pain drops to 2-3/10 and that’s the lowest it is all month. It stays like this until my period completely ends and then boom the pains back

Heya, sorry that you are having pain for so long during each month. My pain is at its worst during my period, but a friend of mine experiences the same as you and has pain for the other 3 weeks whilst not on her period. It’s so bizarre how symptoms can vary so much from person to person. I really hope you are able to get something to help you xx
