hi I was just wondering if anyone else experiences a sort of burny tingling sensation a couple of days before your period starts, I normally only have itching and soreness with LS. I don't have any sores or redness either, it's just quite irritating at the moment

    Hi, yes I do. I always get a bit tingly and sore and I always itch what feels like 10 times as much the day before. I've put it down to the hormone change our body goes through just before the period comes. It's the worst time of the month. Sort of got into a routine now of 2 1/2 weeks that are manageable and 1 1/2 weeks of pure itchiness and soreness sad

    Hi Jessica, I also get this sensation in the days before my period... This has definitely got to be hormone related.. when I actually get my period everything settles down and I feel 'relatively normal' down there until I finish.. Then the soreness and itching start all over again 😕. .

    It makes me feel better that it's not just me experiencing this, it just seems like we don't really get a break from discomfort with all of this, just hoping that the Ls goes as suddenly as when it appeared
