Doctor visit: The tired feeling could be due to many different causes. Anemia, depression, subclinical hypothryoidism, drug reaction come to mind. See a doctor for labs, exam and then consider medication (antidepressant, BCP, ibuprofen) during this particular time of month. No supplement that I know of. If all OK try increasing exercise it helps to stimulate endorphins. The body natural pain response mechanism.
