Subject: MS and menstruation

My ON has gone away, but stages a kind of ghostly return before every
period. In each premenstrual period I get eye pain, loss of vision,
fatigue, some tinglings, sleeplessness, the usual panoply. But only for
that 3-4 day pre-menstrual moment. I've tried the combined pill, but so
far it just seems to make the premenstrual period last forever.

Any suggestions? Or common experiences? My menstrual cycle is very
short, 23 days, which makes it worse.
