Lisa,

I get hit hard every month right before and the first day of my period. Pain, bloating, D and migraine. At first I always think "OMG what did I eat?" but then as more symptoms develop I realize it's hormonal. For me (and maybe others) I know it's due to triggering mast cells because when I was really sick a while back I would also get more anaphylactic reactions during this time (not just observational, hormones are a known mast cell trigger). Because I have reacted to so many medications in the past I have a bit of PTSD about taking anything so I just tough it out and remind myself it's temporary. I spent the better part of Friday and Saturday on the couch doing accupressure to relieve the migraine - for me the migraine pain is the worst. Feeling a bit better today so far and keeping my fingers crossed.

Hope things are a little brighter today for you as well.

Hugs,

Mary Beth
