Pmt

Hi Im a 31yr old woman with 2 lovely kids a gorgoeus husband & a good career, i go running 3-4 times a week approx7-10 miles i eat healty, take evening primrose & Vit b complex.

yet im the same i feel like im going crazy its quite pathetic really im such a strong person normally, but every month without fail about a week or so before my period i start feeling moody maybe cause an argument with my poor husband who is so supportive & understanding i think it makes it worse (the guilt). then i get weepy im sat ere now crying because my husband has sent me a nice txt after ive been horrible to him all morning. im at my wits end i just feel i cant cope with this anymore.

I know how you feel

I suffer really bad too, get emotional, feel insecure and have irrational feelings, I've just changed my pill to try and help but still struggling. may I ask which pill you are on? as I think I will change mine again.
Do you exercise, I know its normally the last thing you feel like doing, but I tried going to the gym during time of month and it did help, as felt better about myself.

St johns wort

Hi Sue, it's so crap isn ... ! I go through exactly the same thing and feel like I wanna die around the time of the month. I posted a message to someone a few weeks back about St Johns Wort. I've found it helps me when I'm depressed around the time of my period. I've got teabags of it from my local health shop but you're meant to check with your doctor before taking it if you're on any other medication.x

I'm in the same boat

I've got the same problems, I'm 44 and my periods have gone haywire and very heavy but I'm so sarcastic - I had my poor fiance in tears the other night, he thought I was going to dump him. I'm on cod liver oil tablets and I've started evening primrose oil but I'd welcome any ideas on how to save my sanity and my relationship!

Just about to try agnus caste

Hello
Just about to get divorced again. It happens every month! I have been searching the web for help with PMT and came across an article in the British Medical Journal that concluded that the herbal remedy - Agnus Castus helps.

It seems women enjoyed a reduction of symptoms, including irritability and cramps, over 3 cycles. Blimey I hope it works.

I have ordered some from a well know health food store, and will see how it goes. I did try Evening Primrose but it takes a long time to get into your system.

If anyone else has something that helps I would be very grateful to know.
