Yes. This would be me also. I get irritated and overly emotional. My flares aren't as bad (for the moment- we know how that can be). But like someone on here mentioned, I also find a week before my cycle that I'm in more pain and become grouchy. I try to find ways to relax my mind if I can't fix anything else just so I'm halfway tolerable. It does seem crazy if you don't understand it from experience. I'm just thankful we're not alone in all the madness that is Lupus.
