Yes! I do have hypothyroidism too though, so I wonder if it is somehow related.

Yes, I do too, does anyone know why it happens? Its usually two to three days before and I also have trouble sleeping through the night.

This is my first cycle off birth control in 10 years. I've had crazy food cravings, acne breakout, anxiety (but that's typical for me), and chills - but i didn't put the chills and PMS together. It's weird for me too cause I'm a hot blooded person - I'm never cold. And here I am shivering next to me heater - go figure!

Hi,

I always have freezing chills a week before my period, & nothing would make me warm even at summer, so i completely relate to you.

Best solution, keep on having hot soups (chicken soup)& drinks, green tea, milk, but not coffee, since caffeine increases PMS.

You would have to go more frequently to the bathroom because of excessive liquids, but that's better than freezing.

Wear more clothes, ignore what others would say about you wearing a coat in summer.

Good luck

I have found that since taking a multivitamin with iron in it every day with a probiotic ,that my symptoms of PMS are a lot less pronounced. I drink lots of water too and i find it helps a little with the bloating, oh and for any of yous that get nauseated, I tried this gravol, its all natural, made entirely of ginger root, helps me a lot!!

Yes. I do experience this - flu like symptoms in general. Get this chills but no fever, headache, and , believe it or not, tooth aches in my wisdom teeth. Every month this stuff happens without fail.

I don't have answers, but I just wanted you to know that you are not alone.

I just googled chills and PMs to see if anything came up. I am 38 and have never experienced this symptom with PMs before but it’s the second month I’ve had it. I blamed it on a supplement I was taking last month but am now beginning to believe it is hormone related. Also could hardly sleep last night- I put on my fleece robe just to get to sleep then woke up super hot (of course) and the temp battle went on all night. But the shivering i couldn’t figure out. Glad I’m not the only one and have found the answer to my riddle.

And also have hypothyroidism...

Hello beautiful people. Greetings from Greece where the sun is shining, the temperature is rising and I am freezing!!! Actually not exactly freezing but having chills. One moment I am shivering and the other I feel hot and a weird discomfort. All these expecting my period in about five days.. As other people I have issues with my thyroid as well. About 20 years ago (I'm 41) I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's which has gone totally out of whack during the last year - I only realized it a few months ago. Since then I haven't been able to find the right dose to correct my tsh levels. What is weird is that I have noticed the last two months that the first week after adjusting the dose (which usually is during or right after my period) that my body responses well:: weight loss is greater, hair feels fuller and mood is lifted. This happy period last about 7 -10 days. Then everything gets worse and symptoms become intenser as my period is approaching. And this is the second month I am experiencing these chills. If anyone had similar issues and figured out which condition triggers the other and all the symptoms, please post.

Oh... and headaches. There are also headaches..

I have been tested for thyroid issues when going through depression, but apparently I don't have any issues with my thyroid. I do get chills before bed and then wake up sweating. I think I'm in the first few years of perimenopause though, so I have a feeling it's a crazy hormone imbalance (similar to the ones caused by the thyroid).
I get crazy mood swings, depression, lack of focus, short temper, digestion issues, body aches, low self esteem ... and those damn chills!

I hope you can get yourself warm somehow!! Good luck!!
