The aching miseries (congestive dysmenorrhoea): fatigue


        THE ACHING MISERIES (CONGESTIVE DYSMENORRHOEA): FATIGUE
Some women lose all their energy before their periods are due. They wake up tired and have to get behind themselves and push if they are to start the day at all. Little jobs like making beds, wheeling the pram down the road or vacuuming a room leave them so exhausted that they have to sit down to recover. A shopping expedition in the lunch hour is a chore to be dreaded and often results in the most disastrous purchases—food that isn't wanted or needed, clothes that don't suit or fit. As one woman put it, 'I feel as if I've lost my judgement.'
Obviously all the things I have said about avoiding difficulties apply here too. Don't go shopping if you can help it. Wait until you're in a better frame of mind. Let your husband or your colleagues do chores for you. At home, see how many jobs can be done sitting down—like washing up or preparing vegetables or ironing. And don't iron anything that doesn't really need it — shirts and blouses only need ironing where they show. It's hard to lower your standards, especially if you're houseproud, but try. You need the rest more than that immaculate shirt.
Take a rest whenever you can. Allow yourself to potter and don't feel ashamed of it. Plenty of middle and upper class Victorian ladies lay around on their chaises longues during off days, and nobody thought any the worse of them. They called it 'having the vapours'. This applied only to well-off women. The poor and the servants didn't get the same sort of consideration at all. They just had to get on with it, as most of us do today.
