If you've found anything out, please contact me and let me know.
In high school, I was tested for anemia and diabetes after one episode, but the doctor said I had neither. Everyone assumes anemia, but I've heard anything from toxic shock syndrome to endometriosis.
Usually it's the first day of my period, and I feel some minor cramping. Then, my surroundings feel really distant and everything slowly gets fuzzy. Then, my arms and legs start to numb, and I eventually can't see ANYTHING and I pass out. Almost each time, I then wake up and the pain in my stomach is almost unbearable. I throw up and am constantly in the bathroom until the pain goes away.
Is that the same way you feel???
Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Yes! Last something like that happened to me. [It's happened more than once but this time was the worst] I've always gotten dizzy spells for years and we thought it was anemia, the doctors said it wasn't, but strangely whenever I take iron pills it isn't as bad. So whenever I get my period I get dizzy easily. Well one day I forgot to take my iron because I was gonna be late to school and I was just concentrating on getting my clothes on 'n what not lol. I happened to be on my period too I think it was the first day. So it's all good - until gym class. Yep we had to run the mile. So after that was done I had absolute KILLER cramps. I was sitting by my friend and then her words just kinda got distant.. and my face felt cold and my breathing shallow and I felt like I was gonna puke. So she helped me to the teacher and I asked for a pass - she was kinda freaked cuz she didn't want me to puke on her. I stagger on to the front door [we were outside on the track] which felt like FOREVER I just wanted to crawl but I didn't wanna make some scene. I get to the door. It's locked. The pain is still bad and I just sit down and bang on the door almost crying finally somebody comes and I was a Freshman & I'd never been to the nurse so I was like "Where's the nurse?!?!" all frantic. They tell me and I make my way there and call my mom to bring me some Midol. While I'm waiting I sit on the couch bed like thing and for a bit my cramps feel much better - not for long, a bit after that it's like bricks slamming around inside me and I have to curl up and I'm still kinda outta it so I keep repeating over and over it hurts it hurts it hurts and she's like trying to calm me down but it kept getting worse until I was like yelling and screaming, then she notices that I'm pale and she's like ok now you're looking green and takes me blood pressure and I forget what it was but eventually it go down to 30 over something. That was when I just felt delirious like I had been like kicking my legs but then I was kinda outta energy the nurse was like kinda panicking too she was asking ME "should I call 911? should I call 911?" I'm like YEAHHH do it!!!!! lol. Before that she called the head RN chick and was asking me questions like if there was any chance I was pregnant - which there wasn't - finally my mom came with the midol, I took that, then came the RN and my blood pressure started going up after that, but school was almost over so they wheel chaired me into the car which was kind of exciting in my outta it state. So do any of you see little bright white lights *stars* I guess while this happens?
