PMS and insomnia

[AlbaAurora]

I haven't slept in a week, I am trying to work and just feel so ill. Just looking to see if anyone else experiences this or if I am going out of my mind? It seems to be getting worse each month and starting a week or more before due.

My period is due this weekend but these symptoms started last Friday. Worst overnight. Chills and tingling, headache and the worst being chronic insomnia. It doesn't matter how tired I am it's like my body cannot/refuses to sleep. I practice all the sleep hygiene. It's not so much my head/thinking etc it's my body - restlessness, heart fluttering, tingling sensations, nausea, headache. I'm mid 30s. Does anyone else get this and have any advice of what might help? It's like pms prolonged and intensified.

Anyone? 🙁

Just offering some sympathy before somebody who know comes along. Sounds horrible

Thank you!

Ooh I couldn't sleep last night, it was just like I couldn't fall asleep. Like as you said , my body refused. Then I had a dry mouth so had a drink then needed the toilet. I feel hungover today .
I'm due on , in the next few days so it could be linked to my cycle . Is yours a recent thing? I wonder if it's a peri thing for me.

I don't think I've always made the connection until the last few months but it's definitely linked in some way. I get the dry mouth too. Sorry you're feeling the same. Usually it's just a night or 2 before but this time it lasted almost a week and has been so intense! I hope I'm too young for peri so I hope not 😢

No solutions probably either, the joy of being female!!
