Prob not flu: It is not likely you are getting the flu since influenza is a seasonal virus transmitted from one person to another. Maybe you are experiencing PMS or PMDD. Consider keeping a menstrual calendar of your symptoms and seeing an Obgyn to go over the results. There are options to manage PMS.
