Oh my gosh this is the FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN INFORMATION ABOUT THIS. Everyone made me feel so crazy about it. My flares were only the week before my period and my rheumatologist looked at me like I had four heads. I always know I’m going to flare, the week before start.

My worst flares happen the week before my period. I also strongly believe going through two rounds of IVF is what triggered my RA. My rheumatologist thinks so too.

I actually started the combo BC pill and noticed an improvement in my symptoms so this makes a lot of sense to me

I thought I was just crazy. Didn’t know that they were linked. By the sounds of it, not looking forward to menopause. Thankfully I’m only 32

I specifically skip my brown pills just to reduce my period symptoms so I don’t flare up as bad 🥴

Yeah, I can definitely attest to this. My cycle is about to start in eight days and I am so sore regardless of the medicine

I have pcos and rheumatoid arthritis. When I had my second son, I developed preeclampsia and it almost killed me. This topic is NOT talked about enough! There has to be help for us

The day before my period starts is the best day! My fatigue is practically gone and I get soooooo much done! Then my period starts and I’m completely miserable. 😅

I just mentioned this to my rheumatologist at my appointment yesterday. I have been diagnosed with UCTD, not RA, but my period definitely increases my joint pain.

Yes! I’ve noticed this would happen just before my periods. Flares were the worst around that time / only happen during that time.

I was having one of the worst flares up I’ve had in years for about 4 months they could not figure out what was wrong. Turns out I was premenopausal and that caused my flare. Now I’m an estrogen patch and slowing feeling like myself again
