    Go to the doctor. You shouldn't have to suffer. There are pills you can take (not just The Pill) that can ease these symptoms.

    For me, I have an IUD so my periods are pretty light and don't bother me for exercise. I do retain water more in the few days leading up to it and crave chocolate.

    Yes talk to your doctor. Aunt Flo is a nuisance but should not put you out of commission like that#
