Does this happen to anyone else?

It seems to be becoming a pattern that at the end of my period and a few days afterward, I completely lose my appetite. I find it very difficult to find any protein that appeals to me, and sometimes I'll even if I try to just force it down to get some protein in me. I find myself having to rely on shakes to get through it. I even have a tough time getting my vitamins down. Then I feel so dragged out and tired toward the end of it all. Does this happen to anyone else? Donna

Unfortunatly I have the opposite happen to me. Towards the end of my period, it seems like I can eat almost anything. I get so many cravings and lots of head hunger. Trade ya?! Amy

Hello, I have always had no appetite around my period. I always thought that if I could bottle whatever makes me lose my appetite during my period and take it all month, I'd be forever skinny! It's hormonal. You have more hormones rushing into your system now because estrogen is stored in fat and is released back into your system as you lose weight. That could explain why it is happening now and not before. Tracy
