Hi Jackie,

I can relate to this. It scares me how angry I get, I just completely lose my rag over little things and I'm not able to control my emotions at all. I particularly hate my husband when I've got PMT. I do love my children but I find it hard to be as loving as I am the rest of the month, if you know what I mean.

Have you tried Evening Primrose 1000mg? I took this for a few months and it helped enormously (to the point where my period took my by surprise each month coz I had no symptoms!), then I forgot for a couple of months and last month my PMT was back with a vengeance. So I've started taking it again this month.

As well as helping my anger with the PMT, I feel it also helped my anxiety at this time. It's definitely worse when my period is due. But then, everything is. And mine starts a good 10 days before my period comes. So I feel I spend most of the month miserable.

I hate the fact that I am so horrible, and that my children are probably scared of my reactions. Definitely try the Evening Primrose if you haven't already, as I think it helps enormously.

Hi Jackie,

I have had the most horrible PMT, just like you felt like I could kill someone with anger , then I also had the painfull breasts, headaches ect.
So last month got prescribed some progesterone only pills to see if it helps me. I have taken 9 pills so far and cant wait to see how I am as I approach my period. Mention it to your Gp ,you shouldnt have to suffer .

Hi Jackie,

I often feel more stressed and anxious when I am premenstrual so you're not alone there. Horrid isn't it.

Actually I was thinking of you recently and wondering how you were getting on as not seen you post for ages.



Take care,
