Yes: Physical illness and other stressors can definitely affect your periods, causing them to come early, late, or not at all, or to be heavier, lighter, or more crampy than usual. Hope u feel better soon!

Perhaps: Stress and medications can certainly cause a change in the normal menstrual cycle. Having your period come 8 days early really should not be a cause for concern.
