Cold like symptoms just before my period

This is becoming so annoying and odd

As a teenager / young adult it was "just" period pains. I then developed migraine before and during my period

Both of these have stopped which is great. But I'm now getting what feels like a cold?

Is there anything I can do to stop feeling so rubbish? It goes to my chest as I've got asthma too

I've had the same thing for years and I'd really like to know why!

Yeah I get period flu quite often. Not sure if there is anything you can do, it’s triggered by prostaglandin fluctuations and a drop in hormones like estrogen and serotonin.
