Post acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS) and menstrual cycle

Kelsie

Okay, so i will be one year sober the last tuesday of this month. But just about EVERY time i start my period, or shortly before my period, I will get PAWS. Dreams, RLS, etc. and its really annoying. Its just about the only way (besides this app) that i track my period. It will start with a drug dream, and other symptoms will ensue. Either the day of my period, or the day before!

So im wondering if anyone else in recovery gets PAWS as well, specifically around their menstrual cycle, as i have not been able to find anything on it online and im the only one who seems to have experienced this.
