Hi, I'm 21 years old, have been sleeping with the same boyfriend for a little over a year now. But I just got my period a week early, and it is REALLY heavy. I am not on birth control. Also, I have intense joint pain and a high fever with coughing. I'm hoping the early period is just because of increased physical activity (I just started dancing again), but could all these symptoms be related? Or am I just being paranoid? THANKS FOR THE HELP! :)

You could be low in iron, either way seek a physician immediately as anemia/or low iron can affect your health in very negative ways.
