Does this happen to anyone else? And is there anything I can do besides pop pills and lie in bed waiting for it to stop

I have something similar.. It started out like your symptoms .. And then turned much worse over time (assuming because the endo got worse) But it happens during the first few hours that I get my period .. I'll get extreme craps and headache. Then the "period poops" (as my nursing friend call them) while I'm in the bathroom, I get dizzy, sweaty, faint like, often throw up, my blood pressure drops and my heart rate goes really low too. Sometimes I pass out, sometimes I huver on conciousness. My words slur and I can't walk or even hold my head up. .. This lasts for 2 hours or so. I end up in the hospital.. And it just repeats every month... Until I went on depo, then they stopped, then I went off depo and they started ago, now I'm on visanne, and they've stopped again.

I don't mean to scare you, but if you do notice that they symptoms get worse, the. I'd see your dr.
But for me, i avoid work on the days I know I'll be like this, I stay in bed and try to make myself as comfortable as I can, heating bag, t3's also take a little bit of the pain away.
My dr actually told me I should start taking tylonel a day or two before my expected period, to help maybe lessen the pain when the period does come.
Goodluck!

I have the exact same thing as @A MyEndometriosisTeam Member. Every month right before I start. I have a healthy movement usually in the middle of the night and then it turns bad. Diarrhea, dizzy, sweaty, faint like and sometimes actually faint, throw up, blood pressure drops, hovering unconsciousness. I always endure it on the bathroom floor with lots of ice water to pour on myself. Its terrifying. I'm seeing a GI in a couple weeks. My gyno found endo on my bowels during a laparoscopy and had to leave it. Hoping my GI will give me some hope.
Good luck to you!

Same here! Pills don't work for me. I don't know if I would say I was hyperactive, I feel more restless. Like I have to be moving. What I do is I take a hot shower and get in bed and I have to take a really strong sleeping pill so that I can just sleep through it! Generally it will still wake me up at night
