Has anyone noticed a flare up or worsening in symptoms around or during your period??
YES!!
I usually feel best the week approaching my period, then as my period starts the fatigue and joint pain suddenly worsen... I have absolutely no idea why...

Yes also! I had always had knee pain as part of regular cramps, but now knee pain is worse as are other symptoms.
What about the dryness with your eyes?
Hi, To be honest I am not sure about the eye thing, I haven't thought to pay attention to that in relation to my cycle, and weirdly, I have only been aware of eye problems for about 3 months, so I will try and see what I notice - my eyes are certainly feeling quite bad at the moment... but I am mid cycle, so that probably does not correlate with the monthlies thing...

hi there
yes and yes to this one, i always had painful periods and other things ie back ache, bloatedness, headaches etc but my joints seem to hurt more and i feel more tired just before and during. luckily my cycle is only 5 days and it wears off after the first few days

Funny you asked about this I was going to ask the same question.Last week I spent 2 days in horrible pain especially in my knees and ankels it was so bad I good barely walk a few days later I got my period so I was thinking it was from that also.
When I first read this a couple days ago, I wondered about it.
This week has been particularly painful....started my period last night!
So, I guess I'm a yes. I'll note it on the calendar and see if I get a pattern. They say hormones are suspected to play a part in all this....

Yes, I too have notice the fatigue and joint pain, leg weakness gets worse around my cycle... hmmm interesting.
I just figured I was low on Iron, so I 've been adding in red meat during that time of the month lately, but no noticeable difference.
