Default for pre-menopausal women with MG

It took me a long time to figure this out: my MG symptoms get much worse a couple of days before my period starts. But I also have a really weak day in the middle of my cycle. Since I take my morning (basal) temperature in order to chart my cycle, I've noticed that this awful MG day coincides with ovulation. Evidently both hormone-shifts set off my MG symptoms.

I'm just passing this on in case it might be helpful to other women who are trying to figure out some of their triggers.

I was just reading an article that stated that very thing. In fact there is a lot of good info here on different diseases besides MG. I am sure they want to sell you something, but it seemed like a complete and well rounded source of information from what I read.
I can't post a link right now, but the name of the page I was looking at is Health Extension then the sub page is Health concerns. There is a drop down box with lots of health conditions.

Thank you for this, I thought it was just me! I noticed this also, usually it's my speech for some reason, but also I get really weak feeling in my thighs and calves if not right before, than the first day or two into my week.
