Hi I still haven’t gone into the menopause at age 52 but my GP has mentioned to me before that all the fluctuating hormones going on in menopause can cause flaires- I’m sure someone else on here will give you better advice on this topic - hope your flaires calm down soon for you x

Not going through menopause but I definitely have a flare up of symptoms when I am due on, so I think it is the hormones that contribute to this.

Hi, I went through menopause but only because I had a total hysterectomy at 40. I am absolutely certain it triggered my ill health. I began having strange things happen, balance problems, pain, gut problems, swallowing problems, mouth ulcers etc but it took another 6 years to diagnosis. I really hope you get the help and support you need xx

I went on a strong anti inflanatory diet and endo treatment and my symptoms went away.for a month i had hot flushes every hour,cold flushes and night sweat/cold flushes. My period is not back yet.i have my gyno appointment next week.still not sure if its endo or menopause but considering adding the treatment made things go away..
