Possibly PMS symptoms?
Hello, I’m new here but just wanted to ask since I’ve been looking this up just now
But basically ever since Tuesday night I’ve been experiencing flu like symptoms from absolutely nowhere, that night it was just my body aching so my skin and then a bit of my back
Then the next 3 days I’ve been experiencing a cold, a cough which I now have a hoarse voice, my mouth has been hurting to the point it hurt to swallow, my head hurt ridiculously bad to the point I went crying to my mum about it, my skin extremely sensitive which honestly made it hard to sleep so yesterday (Thursday) I found it extremely hard to sleep, having about 4-5h, waking up at 6am which is when I went crying to my mum, stayed up a bit and layed down on the sofa and my body was going all wet, which I was able to go back to sleep for probably 6 more hours after I went back to bed
And then earlier today I would struggle to fall back asleep and my body was still quite cold so I was kinda shivering and putting a blanket to try and warm me up which I ended up going back to sleep for a bit longer and woke up boiling which my body has been heating up constantly for the past 3 days
I looked it up and apparently your period can cause flu like symptoms and it can’t be a coincidence that like 2 days into my period, things have started to calm down a lot more like I can swallow now even tho it hurts a tiny bit, I’m not boiling anymore after the shower I had, my skin has calmed down a lot more. The only thing hurting is my head which isn’t even hurting after I took pain killers earlier, and now I’m just left with a bit of a cold, a cough and a hoarse voice.
It also said that you can experience nausea and vomiting which when I was brushing my tongue, I almost vomited, thankfully only a bit coming out, I felt a bit nauseous too.
I really don’t know because this has came on randomly and that’s the only reason I can think of, it’s also strange how it has come on as soon as my cycle changed from middle of the month to the start of the month or at least a day or 2 before as I did miss basically all of March and I never get ill before my period and I haven’t even been anywhere to catch the flu or Covid so idk wtf is going on so could this be possible PMS symptoms bc if it is then it’s been horrible 💀
