A member asked:
Why my body shakes when my period is on and when im sleeping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones: Hormones fluctuating with female menstrual cycles can often wreak havoc on some women. I would advise taking a medicine like tylenol (acetaminophen) and / or advil to help with these likely temperature fluctuations and drink fluids during these times and see if this helps. If worsens please see your dr.
