Does anyone else get these period symptoms?

The days before my period I get a stabbing headache, flu type symptoms, heartburn, aching body & exhaustion. I had a c section recently with a cyst on my Fallopian tube removed, they didn't see any signs of endometriosis. Does anyone else have similar?

Ah yep. Period flu is a thing.

Yep. I have pcos if that's at all relevant.

Yep. Horrendous fatigue and body aches and an almost feverish feeling. I've got PCOS too (not sure if there's a connection).

I also have PCOS.

Ah no, so sorry to hear so many of you have pcos. Pre pregnancy I never had this problem but I was on the pill for 10 years so it might have masked it. I also get kidney pain too & the feverish feeling you mentioned :(
