I have never had this happen, I am 51 and started periods at 13, never too bad with cramps. In the middle of the night I tend to lightly wake up, sometimes need the bathroom. Tonight however I felt so crampy that it woke me up. I had to get up, take pamprin, and still can't lay down. I am making some tea while I wait for pain stuff to take effect. Maybe it is part of the changes my body is going through, and I have not walked as much over the weekend as I normally do. Plus some stress, as always stress.
Anyone have this one as their peri-menopause symptoms?
