Period flu

[Timeisavirtue]

Anyone else suffer with period flu coming up to thier period? I thought it was only me but it seems to be a thing. As if we don’t go through enough as it is??

Yep! I have endometriosis and not sure if it makes it worse. The vaccine has messed my cycle up a bit and I’m now 3 days late and feel like CRAP. I’ve only just got over a cold so I know it can’t possibly be another one but I feel so rundown, could sleep all day, dizzy, stuffy nose, sore throat, the lot!

yeah, also messed up by feckin covid vaccine but normally I feel like I'm coming down with something a couple of days before I come on. Sore throat, headache, hot etc. Never heard of this before but my partner actually noticed that I had said a few times like I felt that I was coming down with a cold then got my period!

Yea. It tricks me almost every month when I think I'm coming down with something before I catch on it's that time again!

I was always running a week/ 2 weeks late as I have thyroid issues so my hormones are all over the place usually but since having the vaccine I’ve had them bang on time. Since I’ve now developed a sore throat this month (every month is a lucky dip of what flu symptom I’ll get) I’m assuming I will be again coming on time..... glad I’m not the only one 🙏🏼

I get this - along with constipation in the days leading up to and then the runs on the day I start! Miserable isn't it- I usually take myself to bed early in a snivelling heap and then in the morning bingo. No advice to offer but it's not just you!

My legs are ever so hairy

Oh yes I forgot the constipation. See also indigestion now I get older.

This is Literally my life! 😩

I usually toss and turn for the couple of nights before, poor DP gets disrupted sleep aswell 😂

Used to happen to me every month
Took a while to work it out

The fix is Agnus Castas, it's a hormone regulator used since the Greek times, take it for a course of up to 3 months at a time and it should at least alleviate if not get rid of your symptoms completely.
