PMS related flare-ups?

Has anyone noticed an increase in flare-ups the week before their periods? I haven't exactly been tracking it, but it seems like I am having flares only during this time. Plus, I am super super tired during PMS, and not getting enough sleep always makes me flare. Any other reasons why this might happen?

    Hi, I know exactly how you feel as I flare before my totm too. I especially get stiffness and pain in my hips and feet. I find I'm also prone to coldsores at this time too.

    Same here...but can't decide if its because of RA or just having PMS and RA at the same time...both make you feel bleh. It maybe just adding one more thing onto our plate once a month just casues a chain reaction. Fun stuff :P

    That makes sense too. I am having a rough week, healthwise, and of course all the other problems make my RA worse. Super Bleh!
