Subject: menstrual cycle and ra

Trying to sort out my body, already found out the pain in lower back is not ra but a slipped disc, had mri on the rest of my spine and neck so ill find out if ra or something else is causing that pain.( itās amazing what tramadol can hide not taking it anymore). But any way Iāve noticed that for 2 weeks before my period I get extremely tired I have to sleep in the afternoon and i get pain in my joints then after about 2weeks Iām my normal painful feeling self just wondered if anybody else had noticed this sort of pattern

hi sharon i to have this problem my periods are also all over the place and often heavy. im always tired even after 10 hours sleep. i feel drained like somebody has sucked the life out of me. its obviously a hormone thing. aas when i fell pregnant my ra completely dissapeared. once id given birth and my hormones had settled i had the mother of all flare ups.
