PMS
Glad to hear I'm also not the only one with these symptoms. Ever since college, I would get a horrible cold, sore throat, aches, chills and flu like symptoms. Then, when my period started, the symptoms went away. Except, I would be left with a cough just like I would be if I had a "real cold." It got to be so noticeable, that my friends would say "oh, it must be that time of the month again because Tina has another cold." It was miserable. I went to internists, gynecologists, and even ear nose throat doctor. They gave me stupid opinions - like when my uterus got congested, so did my nose. After my kids were born, those symptoms subsided. But, now lthat I am near the menopause age - 50, those symptoms are coming back with a vengance. HELP!!
