Week prior and during menstruation-everything worse?
Ladies, I was wondering for those of you having any condition-is it/are they made worse the week prior and during your menstruation?
The reason that I ask this, is that if I am having GI symtoms, anxious about something (etc. whatever)...during the time prior and during menses-it seems to make it considerably worse.
What brought me to this conection was, in begining to feel anxious just before my period, months ago.
I sat there thinking of how well I was doing and here I am-feeling bad again...just before my period started. Fast forward, months later and low and behold, I feel worse leading up and during my period. When it's over, I feel better.
With the exception of my teen years, my periods didn't cause any problems. Save for feeling tired and a little cranky. This year, it's been another story.
I'm just wondering if this occurs to other ladies as well?

No, I haven't. I don't think it's a problem of mine but am certain that I had Endo in my teen years. In giving birth to my first child, that solved that.

I know that I am not bpd. I have panicked in the past and do think I have anxious moments. Right now, I am working on getting things resolved. With the exception of a CBC (having a high WBC-low BUN)-no other tests/exams have been performed. If all comes back clean or of no real concern, then...I will seek treatment for anxiety, possibly depression. That is, if the Sam-E doesn't work (just ordered some).

Chalk it up to science-some things known, some theory...and so much unknown!
Is it just me, or does it just seem like medical issues pertaining more towards women...seem to be taken less seriously?
What ever is troubling me- be it g.i. issues, tension etc...is much worse around the menses. In other words, half the month it's tolerable and the other half with menses is the real pits.
Prior to my problems, years ago I made the connection that drinking alcohol around/on my menses didn't mix. It seemed to heighten the effects of alcohol and felt much worse the next day...even if only drinking a few beers.
Something about this time that simply doesn't agree with certain things.

Hey, I have had the same stuff happening to me for alot ofyears now and I remember when I made the connection - I talked to my gyn about it and he said it had nothing to do with it.....ok, so then I found a female gyn! Lots of physical stuff gets worse for me - the headaches, sometimes I have fever blisters, cysts, - etc - once it is all over, everything else is fine.
You are not alone!!!!!
You are not alone!!!!!
I have had numerous problems for 4 years this November. One major one being I break out in hives 1 week before period unitl 1 week after. I have shared this with doctors and they checked my hormones and say I am fine. Just strange this always happens around my period. No one listens. I know they have to be connected some how. Had every test imaginable.
opps, i meant panic* disorder or borderline-personility disorder.
and yes i am going through it, luckly my period only shows when it feels like it.
