New Menstrual Symptoms??? I ve never had bad periods. They were always short and light. I had a DNC in December of 2015 because I miscarried my first pregnancy. After that they got a little heavier and I got cramps, never too bad. This month it was four days early and incredibly heavy. I would change my tampon and there was blood all over my hand. The fatigue and cramps are excruciating. I ve got this splotchy rash on the tops of my hands and feet, my knees and inner thighs and my bottom. It doesn t hurt or itch. My body temperature is elevated but I don t have a fever. My areolas have grew out and are tender. My legs are sore for no reason and my emotions are unstable. These things have never happened to me before.
