When I read this article today, I thought there might be others that would be interested in this...Hugs, Teri tongue

"A new study suggests an association between irregular menstrual cycles and a heightened risk of asthma and hay fever in younger women. The finding adds weight to evidence suggesting that female hormones might have a role in the development of asthma and allergies."

Thats interesting and a coincidence that you mention this. I have very rare and occasional allergy problems but I have started writing down the times where I will have "sneeze attacks" and so forth and I have noticed that it seems to happen more around my ovulation time. Of course, I just started this a few months ago but I was starting to see a pattern as well.

Amazing isn't it!? I was mentioning to my husband after reading this, that it definitely fit my pattern, as well! (In the past.)

Hugs, Teri
