@julie2019 Welcome to Mayo Connect. We are a diverse group of people, patients and caregivers alike, who share their experiences and support to help others along their journey. One thing that stuck out to me was your comment "Each month is becoming more of a vicious cycle of flare ups, migraines and depression." Given your age and other factors, might there be a hormonal component to this all? If you have not had a workup by an internal medicine doctor, or endocrinologist, perhaps that might help solve your current issues? Any changes like a different living situation or work environment might be at play, with a reaction to something environmental. I hope this has given you some thoughts of pathways to pursue, and that you will let us know what you find out.
