Did your period end in your late thirties after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia?

While fibromyalgia can affect many aspects of your body, including making menstrual pain worse, the condition itself doesn't typically cause periods to stop. However, the timing you're describing could be related to early menopause or perimenopause, which can happen in your late thirties.

Some MyFibroTeam members have shared experiences about hormonal changes and fibromyalgia, but the connection between fibromyalgia diagnosis and periods ending isn't a direct one. It's more likely that:

- You may be experiencing early menopause (which can happen naturally)
- The stress of chronic illness could potentially affect your cycle
- There might be another underlying condition affecting your hormones

It's really important to talk with your doctor about this change. They can check your hormone levels and rule out other causes like thyroid issues, which can coexist with fibromyalgia and affect your menstrual cycle.

Have you noticed any other symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, or mood changes that might point to menopause?
