Hi ladies! Have been having a rough go for the last 4 days. Running to bathroom, nauseated, headache, muscles are crazy sore, muscles feel like they're not working properly, feeling like I have the flu. Have been here before. It's hell!!! Could it be estrogen dominance? I have terrible insomnia, night sweats, cystic breasts. Haven't had a period in 233 days. Always feel so alone and frightened when I have these days.

    Hi,

    It's weird you've posted this. I've had this again this month. I also have insomnia, very painful breasts and night flushes. I'm still having periods though.

    It happened in October just around end of ovulation time towards period arriving. Nothing happened like this in November but now again it's happening between ovulation and when a period will arrive. The muscle aches and flu like feeling are horrendous.

      interesting that you mention your cycle. I keep track of my health in a journal, and I'm noticing that I get these really bad bouts, that last 4-7 days, once a month. Could somehow be connected to old cycle? The stress of living through a pandemic doesn't help, I'm sure.
