Hi,
Sorry, I do mean Pre Menstrual Tension! I'm 41 and always had an irregular cycle and I am just like you Cat80! 10 days (2 weeks in some months) I feel absolutely terrible... I hit full depression mode (crying non stop, exhausted, can't see or feel anything good and just shout at everyone!) I had some tests done last year and my doctor said they were "satisfactory"... I am sure that my hormones are playing a big part on this but unsure about what to do next. Some of you mentioned birth control and I might ask my doctor to look at this... And ShelleE, I don't have the hot flushes but the panic attacks definitely stronger during this period I guess ladies, we not only have to fight our depression and other difficulties, we also have our hormones to cheer us up!!
