Hey Sunny, a fair number of us have had the same thing. Our pain gets worse just before and often during our periods. I talked it over with my chiro one day and she felt it makes sense, because our hormones become hyper-active and our systems become hyper-sensitive. When you think about it, every woman experiences PMS to some degree or other, some have cramps and physical discomfort, others have more emotional discomfort. Our reactions are heightened. When you have AS, it makes sense that our normal pain reactions would also be heightened.
Hugs,
