Title: Menstrual cycle and Sjogren

Has anyone noticed if symptoms change during the menstrual cycle?

Does water retention affect the dryness?

Thanks a lot

Valentina,

I have not noticed. Maybe more fatigued during.

I have heard that when I no longer have a cycle, that I can expect symptoms to worsen. I am anxious to stop cycling, but not so anxious for those consequences.

mine got worse right before my menstrual cycle. My joint pain and fatigue (which are my main two symptoms) both got worse the few days before I would start. Since I'm pregnant right now can't say if it will always be that way as I got pregnant only 4 months after being dx.
