I'm 16 years old & when ever I get my period I get the most horrible sympotoms. I have hot flashes, I sweat alot, I need to lay down 24/7 or else i'll faint, which has happened. I've even thrown up. I was just wondering what could possibly be causeing all of this. I also take midol, but it doesn't seem to work I still get a subtle pain. Not as harsh as when I haven't taken the pill, but still minor. I'm confused.
