Advice. sick & cramps like ive never felt before.....

[NicoleS]

Good Morning,

I was just wondering if when sick you can take normal meds? I have a sniffly nose and a sore throat starting, hoping its just my allergys playing up but just incase I never thought to ask the clinic if i can still take meds.

Also, i woke up last night with cramps like i have NEVER felt before, really lower tummy and almost felt like it was pushing on my bottom, and to be honest i really struggled to get to sleep last night which didnt feel normal to me.

Has anyone else suffered this?

there's a cohens rule - health first, diet second. Try to minimise hidden ingredients that can affect you like starches and sugar, but most importantly take care of yourself

Oh Nicole! That doesn't sound very nice for you!

I hope someone can shed some light on the cramps situation for you. Take care! xo

Hi there, there is a virus going around that gives the nasty cramps you talk about - I have had it this weekend. Nurofen Plus helped me. It can push your weight up a little but it is only temporary because I think we hold onto a little fluid.

Cheers

Thanks girl. As the days gone on i have had incrediable lower back pain so wonder if my monthly is making a return after many many months.
I have to change my appt tomorrow at the clinic so will mention it at the same time.
Thanks, hope youve all had a great weekend.

Hey Nicole, I had the same thing, maybe not as severe as you, but I was very irregular with my periods, sometimes going 12 months without it! But the first month on Cohens, I was very sore, and my period turned up and then it turned up the month after! But I didnt get it this month, but I think it might be just a little bit of stress this month which turned it away So although it was a bit sore first month, I got my period so was stoked

Thanks SB, did you also get alot of back pain? At the moment its a struggle to do anything in the morning, or simply putting my daughter into her bed? and i have felt fine since starting cohens, just since the crampy time.

Yeap do a google search on Period pain, honestly, soooo many people complain of lower back pain before their periods, especially if they have PCOS etc. I was a little worried as well as mum thought it may have been my kidneys as I was drinking so much water, but am only drinking around 2ltrs a day of water as I have about 10 green teas through the day so dont want to push my kidneys too much! But the lower back pain calmed down once I got my period, so fingers crossed it is just that I think if it goes on for another day or two go to the doctor for sure, but hopefully its just period pains!
