Flu-like symptoms before period?

[Deleted]

I am noticing a pattern here. A day or two before my period my immune system nose dives and I get feverish, with chills, aches, scratchy throat, crazy tired and just overall blech.

Is this just old age? I need to make a GYN appt because this is awful.

I've started feeling extremely fatigued the day before and the first two days of my period, just like I feel as I'm getting or recovering from the flu. I just assumed I'm getting old and my body can't recover as well.

Definitely fatigued, yes, but not the other stuff. I think that's weird. I'd call your doctor if happens again next month.

Oh man, as if having your period doesn't suck enough already.
I would go in a see my doctor for sure.

I am more prone to catch colds right after or during my period. It is a norm for me.

I don't get the chills, but every other month I get the fatigue/slight nausea/mild sore throat and I alternating months I go super bitch, lol.
