"Hi, I hope y’all are doing ok. I have currently had no progress with my period pain I got off the shot bc it was still causing me pain. And I am going back to the doctors soon. But I have been experiencing really bad dizziness when running, walking and standing for a long to so I hope I am ok."

  1. Sorry to hear that you're experiencing such dizziness. I've had issues with that as well and I've been diagnosed with dysautonomia. You may want to ask your primary doctor about POTS or other nervous system disorders. In the meantime, drinking electrolyte drinks has helped me. Of course, I'm not a doctor, so I can't say for sure what is wrong, but this may give you some relief. I hope your next doctor appointment goes well! ~Katrina, Endometriosis.net Advocate

  2. I’m sorry to hear about all this. It sounds like you’re going through a lot. I agree with Katrina, it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor about POTS or other dysautonomoia issues. I have some similar issues, though I’ve never been diagnosed. There are some lifestyle changes that have helped me. One is not standing for too long and also having electrolyte drinks like Katrina mentioned. I’ve also found there are medications (certain antidepressants) that make things worse. I also get vertigo before my period and with migraine attacks. So, there can be a lot of factors! I think this is definitely worth a conversation with your doctor. Please keep us updated on how things go! - Keri (endometriosis.net team member)
