    Maybe you have sinus issues. If it is a cold, wash your hands more often. Colds are caused by contact with the virus, and once they go away, usually don't come back after one month unless your out in public places and not washing your hands. It sounds to me like your immune system is lowered during your period. I usually place a hair dryer on my face and try to keep my body as warm as possible. The cold virus doesn't survive very long in heat. I still suspect it's a sinus issue which you can take otc medicine, like claritin or sudafed or allegra. Keep warm and hope you feel better soon.

    Is it proper cold fluey symptoms? Could it be hay fever? During meno allergy related probs are elevated - i haven't had hay fever for about 7yrs until the last few months and it's particularly bad for everyone this year - it could be that mistaken for a cold perhaps? Anyway I hope you feel better soon

    Paula,  if I was going to catch anything it was always right before my period.    I always thought it was because my immune system was low during that point in my cycle.  Hope you figure it out.  Feel better soon.

      Hi Paula,

      I found that when the kids were little and In school it happened a lot.  Once they got older it started happening a lot less.  Now I notice my daughters have the same thing happening to them.  My youngest is in high school and my oldest goes to college and works at a grocery store.  They are around a lot more germs than I am.  I just tell them to wash your hands more often, drink a lot of water, and plenty of sleep.
