Yes--I used to flare horribly before each period but now I'm post menopausal (thank goodness for small favors lol

Yes! Usually I can pretty much be sure I will be so sore/almost bed ridden for about 3 days when I get my period.

absolutely.

Yeah, I notice I swell up alot more and the pain is worse :/ it sucks :( love and hugs xx

Yep, I used to get a horrid flare before every period started. I'm menopausal now,and no more monthly flares. Used to effect my seizure disorder as well.
