Does physical stress effect your period?

I've always been regular, but since I hit pre-menopause and started on hormones, I feel so delicate. These last 4 months I've had 1 physical issue after another (horrible insomnia, bad reaction to a drug, tooth infection/extraction) that seem to have taken a toll on my body. I keep getting my period after each upsetting event, whether it's due or not.

Ladies, have you ever hit a rough patch where you had similar troubles? I keep thinking I'll re-balance, but then something else hits and oopps- another period.
Opinions?
all-natural hormones, just progesterone mainly and a little tiny bit of testosterone 3 times a week. I'm not on estrogen yet.

What kind of hormones are you using? Did you ever try Remifemin? I hear you. Insomnia is bad.

Describe the relationship between stress and physical illness?

This is one of my study guide questions and I can't seem to find the answer.
How is stress and physical illness alike? How are they different? Can they tie into one?

Stress does in fact have a direct effect our physical health and well being. This is also why there has been a dramatic rise in the incidence of certain diseases, now termed as stress related disorders. All of these conditions are directly influenced and affected by stress and anxiety. Coronary disease, insomnia, panic attacks, obesity triggered by stress induced overeating, etc. If you examine stress disorders you will find that some are directly caused by stress and directly aggravated, while in others the effects are indirect. The disorders affected indirectly are so vast that it becomes obvious that stress has far reaching effects on almost every aspect of our physical health. The extent of stress disorders can not be summarized here, so I'd advise you to check the resource links.

Stress Management Course

Since we've all come to realize that stress is a part of our lives, finding techniques to manage and regulate it is very important to stay healthy in both mind and body. There are plenty of ways to minimize and manage stress levels, but the important thing to realize is that there isn't a perfect technique and that stress is unavoidable. Finding the best ways to keep yours at a level you can manage is important.

Your time, budget, lifestyle, personality type, and many other factors will play a part in determining what stress management techniques are best for you. Many physicians recommend exercise as an excellent way to relieve it. The exercise does not have to be intense or grueling to be a good stress relief, as long as you do something physical to burn some energy.

This can be something as simple as going for a walk, although many people enjoy running, weight lifting, and various team sports like softball or basketball. Many people enjoy team sports because of the interaction team sports provide. Aerobics clubs and other workout groups can also be very rewarding.

Not only do you get to be around other people who are trying to be healthy, you get to see people with at least one similar interest. The group aspect of these activities also motivates some people to continue to participate on days they might skip if it were an individual activity.

However, exercise is not the only activity for managing it. Anything you enjoy and find rewarding can be a great stress relief. Again, you will want to find different non-physical stress management techniques depending on your personality, lifestyle, and budget.

Of course, if we were all independently wealthy, it would be much easier to maintain a low stress level, since we would have all the time and money you need to relax properly. However, for us in the real world, we have to find reasonable ways to relax when we get a chance.

It's necessary to give your brain a rest too, so while being physical is a good thing, having a mental distraction will bring you to a balance of combined stress relief techniques. Reading is a popular activity and doesn't need to take up a lot of time or cost much money. Finally trying out that hobby you've always been attracted to, such as painting, learning an instrument, or building model trains is another way to relax.

Many people enjoy crafts or woodworking and some prefer getting outdoors, taking up fishing. Having a companion or a friend with the same interest can be good, as two people tend to relax more together than one person alone.

Finding activities you can do on a regular basis is important and the best way to have a continual outlet for the pressures that build up inside you. What you choose to do for those activities is up to you, but there are tons of things to do that don't cost a lot or that are close to home. Experimentation and trying different things out can also end up being a lot of fun.
