How do you feel the week before a period?

I was wondering today if I am the only one who feels like I am getting a bad flu or virus the week before I start my period. I am very tired and feeling kinda sick. Spend a lot of time sleeping. Have no energy. Then I realize it is that time of the month. I don't have a fever or a sore throat.
Of course I am also irritable and crave sweets like crazy.

But I know I will start in a few days and it seems to be a pattern with me I always feel yucky before even starting my period. After it starts I have bad cramps for 3 to 4 days and feel lousy but not like I am getting the flu anymore. Stay tired but mostly in pain from cramps. I take percogesics to help with the cramps and just wait for the worst to pass.

Does anyone else have similar problems or is your pms week different? and how do you deal with it?

I get *****y, and my hoo-ha aches (O.o). Then weepy about two days before it starts. The weepy is my giant blinking arrow. Sometimes I miss the other signs just because I'm not paying attention. And I tend to be *****y just as a personality trait.

I get exhausted, I don't feel sick, but right now because I just finished Provera and am PMSing something horrible. I am emotional and just drained of all energy. All I want to do is lie down and mope or cuddle with whoever will come near me lmao. I am like the opposite of normal PMS bc I dont get B**chy I just get so needy and lovey hahaha. idk. imma freak xD I deal with some Midol for any cramps, bloating, etc. I will lay around and just try to relax and tell myself it will be over soon lmao. If I can I try to exercise a lil more because it helps with the cramps and tiredness.

Grumpy, weepy, achy, and just plain miserable.
