I think I may have mentioned, but my last menstrual cycle was 22 days. I was worried bearing in mind that the average is 28. Also, considering that it was an anomaly. Since around May, it has consistently been 28 days.
Since my period, stuff has been going wrong. I have been having stomach pains. Not usual cramps, but something else. It feels like I am going to throw up. As if I had been food poisoned. This has been happening quite often recently. I thought at first it was period pains but as they are still happening, they cannot be.
Also, I have been having dizzy spells and headaches. The other day, I could not bear to move because I was in so much pain. Recently, the pain has been so much that I have had to take painkillers.
Furthermore, I have been sensitive to light. This morning I had my laptop in front of me and it was so agonising that I had to put it away.
What is bothering the most is that I have been extremely tired recently. So tired that I have to lie down in my bed for a bit. Or that I cannot do anything else. I don't get tired. I really don't. Okay, fine I do. But never so tired that I need to lie down. Never so tired that I feel like I cannot do anything. Last year, I ran on 7 and a half hours of sleep and I didn't have a problem with tiredness. I am running on 8 and a half now. It doesn't make sense.
There is the argument that I am stressed. However, I was stressed when my mum left to Nigeria and I didn't respond physiologically. I was stressed doing my TSA and I didn't respond physiologically then either. Why the sudden change?
I don't think it is serious. Like I have a rare disease. I know that online symptom checkers aren't the best / they get you unnecessarily hyped up sometimes. Therefore, I am assuming that I don't have a problem that is uncommon.
