Members overwhelmingly confirmed that fibromyalgia symptoms worsen significantly around menstruation, with many describing increased pain, stiffness, fatigue, brain fog, and sweating in the days leading up to their period. Several members shared practical strategies that have brought them relief, including heating pads for back and stomach pain, Epsom salt baths with lavender for muscle stiffness and relaxation, and exploring vitamin B supplements to help manage severe symptoms that interfere with daily life. A recurring theme was that hormonal fluctuations deeply affect fibromyalgia, with members noting that symptoms shift through different life stages, including after procedures like the Mirena coil or entering menopause.

I suffer a lot more during my period, usually with sitffness and fatigue. Recently I have been having epsom salt baths with lavender. I find gives some releif with the fibro pain and with the general period pains. It is also good for relaxation and de -stressing.
