Has anyone suffered from the following symptoms before/during their period:

Terrible pain in feet & hands & joints
Sores in roof of mouth
red painful bumps on fingers
vision disturbances - loss of vision & floaters
IBS
Hairloss
sore throat/ chest congestion

any thoughts ?

I think they could be linked to having a flare up in symptoms
Theres a thread to do with "periods and flares" today which may shed some light on this - think it was under the living with lupus section

Hi Ducky,

There are alot of members here that suffer an increase in different symptoms before their period. I personally have always had hormone problems way before my diagnosis.

I get very tired the week before my period with some aches and pains. The big thing for me is the IBS. I know by day 3 of my period I'll be doubled in 2 with cramps if I'm not careful. I take Evening Primrose Oil which helps tremendously and a few days before I take Colpermin capsules. These are peppermint oil capsules which ease any inflammation and really help. My doc provides them on prescription but you can also get them in supermarkets. Avoiding bread, potatoes and pasta also helps me avoid the discomfort.

I hope things improve for you.

Hugz,
