Does Anyone Else Experience Acute Symptoms On The Lead Up To And/or During Their Periods?

I experience more pain in my joints and muscles, fatigue that absolutely floors me, increased sweats (beyond even those fibro sweats) and I feel so low. It’s like fibro x 10 and my skin is like a pubescent teenager

Yes!!!! Its awful!!!! As if periods aren't bad enough, we get the added pleasure of intense pain and fatigue with it. I dread my period every month, if i take a sick day from work it is usually around my period time.

Even before fibro I always got really severe pain in my back during my period, so bad that doctors wanted me to go to the ER. I'm currently on continuous birth control so I only get a period every 3 months and it's less severe, though it still causes a flare up.
