Thyroid sufferers - pms

Just wondering if those with dodgy thyroids find their thyroid symptoms worse just before their period? I know the other way is an issue (thyroid makes pms/period worse) but not sure about vice versa.

Feel like I've been hit by a bus today - tired/low/achy and freezing plus anxious and fuzzy. Some of this is normal for this time in my cycle but some things are definitely worse. May be age related too I know but curious to see if there is a correlation.

Yes, this happens to me. I have an overactive thyroid (Graves disease) and before my period starts I sometimes panic that my symptoms suddenly seem worse and then remember that what's going on. It's not the same every month so I guess there are other factors at play: stress, general health, tiredness, etc.

Thank you. I'm having my anti bodies blood test ext week and both me and the gp are expecting something.

It's the cold I can't deal with! And the exhaustion. So much worse these last couple of days
