Every month, the day my period starts, my cramps and body pain are unbearable, making me throw up and feel weak or like I’m going to pass out. The cramping usually lasts for a few hours on the first day, and my period is regular. I take Midol and women's vitamins, and I'm 20 years old. What could be causing this severe pain, and what steps should I take to address it?

I have skipped periods and received hormonal blood test results showing high levels of DHEA Sulfate, TSH, Estradiol, and Testosterone. My last period was on 6/15, and I am not using any contraceptives or other medications except levothroid for Grave's Disease. I am 43 years old and have been in perimenopause for a while. My thyroid levels have been fluctuating, and I am concerned about the high Estradiol level. What could be causing these high levels, and what should I expect from my upcoming appointments with my OBGYN and endocrinologist?

My vagina itches really bad and woke me up from sleep. I think it’s a yeast infection. When did the itchiness start? Has it been constant or does it come and go? Does your skin look any different? Do you have any known allergies? Anything else in your medical history the Doctor should know?
