Pattern of Flares Before Period

Yes. I only had 3 decent days a month. So I had my ovaries removed at 34. Wasn't worth the flares.

Thank you everyone that posted! I never made the connection, but it makes a lot of sense. Especially considering how I've been feeling lately.

Yeah hormones definitely have a major impact on the body's systems they are the chemical messengers that tell the body what to do and each of them give a lot of different messages in different parts of the body. I use the Flo app to help track my cycle so I can be better prepared and treat myself appropriately for what my current needs are.

I experience different symptoms during my flares but I definitely have noticed a pattern around my period and my flare ups. Stress is another trigger of mine as well. When you think about it they can definitely overlap due to the strain your period can potentially put on your body. I try and keep good track of my cycle so I can at least avoid being blindsided
