Do any of you other ladies have this problem?....

dont know if it's normal or not but...

my general health seems to change consistantly from month to month depending where i am on my cycle. namely, right before and during my period (during pms period and first few days of my cycle) i get sinus headaches and my sinuses clog up (i experience frequent sinus problems but usually they go away after i get my period) and i get a general feelings like im starting to get sick (cold or flu)......

then im fine afterwards....until the next time......

so i dunno, was wondering if anyone else gets like that or if its normal

 

I hate sinus infections. I've had like 6 sinus infections in my life, each usually lasting about 3 weeks. I always get bronchitis at the same time.

As for your problem, its probably something that the immue system is doing that weakens it during that time, and maybe you should ask a doctor.

 

i seem to have some kind of chronic sinisitus that will go away on it's own sometimes (but not with antibiotics, they dont do anything for it)

anyways, yeah, my immune system weakning right before and during my period does sound exactly right. i wonder if that is normal, common, rare, etc.? hmm maybe i will check with my doc. next time i go there

 

Probably rare that it goes so low that you get sick or you could have a problem.

 

well i dont get SICK SICK... its just the sinus thing and you know how right BEFORE you get sick, you start to feel something coming on???... that's how i get- like im starting to get a cold or something (which i never do, of course)

 

Thats weird.

 

Nothing like that happens to me. If I do feel like crap around my period, it's usually more headache/stomach/back/coldsore related. Sorry I couldn't help.

 

i would sometimes get like that. the stress ont eh body is just too much if i can't take a break and take care of my self during my period. it interferes with my sleep, my ability to cope, so i get sick.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Hormone fluctuation can do all kinds of things to the body. I feel like Im going to barf 3 full days before my period starts and I have awful headaches.


I think it sounds pretty normal.

 

okay, good. i feel a bit better.

 

Normal

 

I get extra sensitive to things, both emotionally and physically about 2 weeks before my period. I usually get really groggy and extra depressive in those weeks too.
