PMT Please Help Me!

skyrocket

One day a month just before 'it' starts I will suddenly want to burst into tears for no good reason. A couple of days later I turn into a completely irrational, manic, tazmanian devil. It's horrible not having any control over my mind or emotions in this way.
I think I will check out this Magnesium OK. Anything to help me be normal!

Basically what other posters have said, healthy eating (processed foods = bad), exercise, cut out caffiene the week before, plenty of water, vitamins (low iron can increase pain). These all helped with me but unfortunately I had to go to the docs as I used to collapse, unable to walk, vomit! Truely evil!!

Personally I take Starflower oil ten days before I am due to start my period, keep a diary so I know when I'm likely to be irritable. (somehow that word just isn't strong enough...sometime's it's closer to murderous b1tch) :eek::mad::eek:

I stop taking the oil when I start. That way I'm not using them all the time and it's cheaper!!! I don't cut out caffeine and rarely eat processed food anyway.

Works wonders for me, I feel much more under control now. That reminds me...time for my next pill!!

I know this is no real help for anyone but I would just like to say that for years I suffered really bad . I can't believe when I read on here so many people suffered the same.i thought it was just me was like a mad dog. Anyway my periods were always really heavy and painful and I had an endometrial ablation. Never again did I suffer from pms! magic!
