I have lupus and i get so tired when it's time for my menstrual cycle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Some patients with autoimmune diseases report feeling worse before the start of the menstrual cycle. Some think it is because immune system is at its lowest level---i.E complements are low right before the start of the cycle.
