Im reflecting back in the good ol days of my cycle (lol I miss it already) and I had a few stretches where I felt like complete shit. I had the worst body aches, never a fever, never a stuffy nose or sign of being sick. Body.aches are alway.my tell when Im grtting sick. For some reason I get them bad. Always have. However, I never got sick duri.g these stretches on cycle.

My wife made a point recently that she said maybe it was my body literally growing everywhere. That never occurred to me but thinking about it, I think its very likely she is correct (don't tell hed I said that). When I was young, I would always get the worst pains in my legs. doctor called them growing pains. Those pains were very similar to what I was experiencing with the entire body. I lived off advil for a week at a time.

there was even a point during the cycle where my wife said "holy shit did you grow overnight".

anyone ever experience this? could she be right? or was I just hitting a rougb patch during the cycle?
