of being tired.
I think I have found a pattern with my hormones and my period ... and the "older" I get ... the last few days or so of my cycle, I am just wiped out.
I want to come home from work and lay on the couch ... if I can keep my eyes open while I drive home even. I am in bed sometimes at 8, right after the kids go to sleep, and I'm still tired.
This is not an all the time thing ... just a few days at the tail end of my period.
Periods suck.
I just feel blah today, I have for a few days and I assuming my period is to blame. I think I have a case of the blahs blog a month or so ago ... I should check and see if it is around the same time of the month ... pretty scientific huh?
Gotta go to the store and get pain medication for my husband's tooth ... yea, thats another blog ...

I just want to stick out my tongue and say "Uglick" for you. Get some good ice cream and a heating pad and watch 27 Dresses.
Jess - being a vegan I would bet that your iron count is down. I'm borderline iron deficient as it is. Red meat is a great way to get iron, but you don't eat red meat. You might want to look into an iron supplement to take only while your on your period.
I donate blood on a regular basis, but when I still was having my periods, if I tried to donate while I was having my period, I would often get disqualified because my iron count was down. A symptom of low iron? - fatigue! Give it a try - it won't hurt you!
