Hi Jackie,
I know of a condition called Angioedema that affects approximately 1 in 10 people to some degree at some point in their lives, but mostly women. The one common symptom that is associated with various forms of this condition are a sudden swelling that can occur anyplace in or on the body. These swelling episodes are often misdiagnosed and can be triggered by a number of things including hormones. It may be worth discussing with her doctors. Here's a link to Angioedema...

I hope this information is helpful to you.
Take care,
Bryanna

She seems to get these flares the week following the end of her menstration and they last for 7-10 days. She has also in the past years has annual flares of severe abdominal pain that last for about 10 days. In between she is well and there are not fevers or other associated issues.
Any help or feedback would be appreciated.
