It is a common experience for women with fatigue, chronic illness and other inflammatory conditions to experience hormone imbalances alongside and on top of their primary illness experience. Sex hormones can act like the volume control of the body. As they naturally fluctuate across a month they can turn the volume up and down on symptoms. This is part 1 of a 3 part series where we look at how your sex hormones fluctuate across the different phases of the cycle, what can go wrong and why you might feel better or worse at different stages. Part 2 and Part 3 will focus on testing for female hormone imbalances and things we can do to further support the body respectively.
