Symptoms affected by monthly hormonal shifts?

[KristenMarie]

Hello! I'm a 44 year old female who had Gamma Knife for a 2cm AN on 2/16/22. My symptoms went away almost immediately after treatment. Now, 11 months in, I'm having some "wave feelings" in my brain. I know it's expected for things to get a little worse before they get better. My question is, do any other women on here notice their symptoms are worse at near ovulation or PMS? This was always the case for me pre-surgery and it's now happening again. I can function and it's not nauseating, it's just disconcerting. The ENT said it's probably the tumor gradually changing and my GP did a full exam on me due to the "wave feelings" that were at random times of the day. Every seemed fine to the GP, it's just odd that the ENT had never heard of hormonal shifts affecting tumor symptoms. Anyone else? Thanks!
