A similar thing happens to me as well, I have noticed that I always flare during my luteal phase. Days 24-26 of my cycle are the worst, I normally end up in the hospital. I’ve brought this up to my rheumatologist but we can’t seem to figure out which hormones are causing it. Looooots of rest, hydrating, and painkillers get me through. I’ll update this comment if I ever get any medical insight!!!

Definitely my biggest trigger. I'm in Perimenopause now and now it's even worse😕 Lots of rest, pain relievers and warm showers/baths helps. Sending hugs!

I always drink a ton of herbal tea to try and help, I’ve tried taking the pill but it actually makes my lupus symptoms like ten times when I’m on it. I’ve been on several different pills for birth control and for some reason every single one my lupus symptoms have gotten worse while on them, I’m so frustrated I don’t know what to do at this point. And my rheumatologist is, in the nicest way possible, a man. So when I bring these concerns to him he fully does not understand why it’s a problem, I think he is unfortunately a doctor who just thinks women are dramatic. I’ve been trying to find a new one, but there aren’t a ton that take my insurance and my GP God bless her is doing her best but she’s not a rheumatologist so there is only so much she can do.

Yeah this is true I used to be that way as well but as I got older it finally went away thank god have you tried taking a Pamprin it does help or look for a herbal tea that may also help it you just don’t want to take another pill best of luck my dear friend
