Hey ladies! Advice on MS symptoms during your cycle.

Hey ladies! I am on Month two since my diagnosis on April9th and I have noticed that my symptoms seem to be much worse during the four days before my cycle. Is this in my head or does anyone else handle this? Would birth control help? Love to hear what everyone thinks.

Pretty sure it’s a thing. My MS symptoms are typically slightly worse that time of the month

It flares up both my MS and PCD. Real nightmare. I used to actually think my symptoms meant my PCD needed IV antibiotics and I would actually get admitted to hospital for IVs for 2 weeks. Now I just ride it out lol and see if it persists afterwards.
