When I was first dx, I was told a change in hormones could have led to my symptoms. See, I was on BC and had not been having my periods...and then last December, I hadn't taken it for a few weeks (forgot to refill) and got my period.... So my doc thought that the hormone change, along with two other possible triggers, resulted in this initial flare, which brought on the dx.
Other two triggers: Stress - was stuck at LAX Airport for 21 hours a few days before Xmas with a 16 month old and also the flight - change in air pressure.
No idea if any of them, alone or in combination, is responsible for my first flare...but I have had heard from others that hormone changes can cause symptoms to show up.
