A week before my period I get sick with cronic pain. I have it in my back, my lower legs and stomache cramps and sever headaches. I'm 48 and my period is irratic at best and I try to keep track of when it's going to start but it never starts when its suppose to. Like today I know its coming because I feel sick and tired and I am extra depressed--not that I need anything extra to get depressed about, but there it is. I also get really damn cranky. I guess I don't get sick in the traditional way but my symtoms are just so awful.
I have been suffering from all these symtoms since I was about 30 and I hate it all.
I have been suffering all week and weekend with these symptoms and I just can't believe my period hasn't started yet. I just want it to be over with!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
