Would people generally say (though I appreciate it's very hard to be general with the multitude of experiences and symptoms that woman can have during this phase) that they are more sensitive to things when hormones in flux? E.g, I'm having issues with hayfever and sensitivities to dust and hay/grass/animal hair this year but not really had much issue before. Had to see optician twice in last week due to allergy in one eye in particular but both showing dryness, irritation. I also have noticed in the last year that certain foods that I never had a problem with (bread being one of them markedly) and alcohol (basically can only have one spirit or lager/beer/cider now) seem to cause me more problems? If this is all connected with hormones changing you just realise how everything used to be in wonderful balance and how you could just sail along but not now!
Also with bugs I seem to get them a lot worse than I used to or find them harder to shake off.
