My ME/CFS symptoms always followed a pattern of being dramatically worse 5-6 days before ovulation (in addition to getting worse with high emotional/physical stress).

Pregnancy, menopause, and menstrual cycles exacerbated many women's symptoms.

P.S. And a comment from another discussion:

Another example of a leaky blood-brain-barrier occurs in menstruation.
Right before, and during menstruation, the lower level of estrogen causes the blood-brain-barrier to become slightly more permeable. Some have speculated that this might contribute to pre-menstrual syndrome.

Perimenopause and menopause made it worse in my case, with new symptoms arising and some old ones worsening, simply because more nutrients are depleted then needed with age, during the period of hormonal change regardless of pre-menstruation, perimenopause or menopause, as well as during infection, which are all nutrient-costly events.
Everything we need for life such as seratonin, melatonin, norepinephrine, stomach acid, blood cells, estrogen, progesterone....are all made from scratch with nutrients we digest and ingest. You will feel fatigued/ill when you are deficient in any nutrient.
Unfortunately, I am born with multiple genetic variants that I am deficient in everything while fortunately having my symptoms (more than dozens) resolved with right dose of right nutrients at the right time.
Full time biohacking for 7 years, changed my life, no, saved my life.
