Evening Primrose Oil!
Also Vitamin B6.
Both have helped me with my PMT!

I was told to try oil of evening primrose. I have the same prob. I go up a dress size at that time of the month and it's all but impossible not to burst into tears - Does not look good at work!! Have just started taking tranexamic acid to slow my bleeding as I usually lose in one day twice the amount of blood the average woman loses during one period. Not good! Aquaban might help with the water retention. I hope you find something to help x

Have a nice bath/shower, wear a giant nightie or PJs. Take Full possesion of the sofa and sprawl out with a girlie movie/Tv progame and some choccy/sweetstuff and ban men from the room! If you get pre menstrual cramps like I do huny, a hotwater bottle is a Godsend!

crush a piece of ginger or use 1 teaspoon fine ginger powder in a cup of hot water. add honey if u like, sip while warm. it calms the stomach.
The best thing you can do (i was advised by a pharmacist years ago and by many others since, cause i sometimes got my periods so bad i couldnt stand up out of bed!) is to drink lots of liquids, fresh water in particular, 2 litres per day, not just when u have your periods. start by making this a habit, take care, Wisdom.

As a member of the male population I probably shouldn't be saying this but you have the ideal excuse for being totally obnoxious for a day or two. If you are really good at it you will be asked to stay at home for a day or two. However if you become an expert they may ask you to stay away for a year or longer!

Wear a bright yellow cloak and pointy hat and ring a hand bell everywhere you go calling out "unclean, unclean - PMT, PMT" so that innocent male victims can avoid you like the plague.

alot of women have been helped by taking black cohosh. Or increasing your intake of soy products which contain some natural estrols that help control the hormonal swings that can occur with menstruation.

Anything that relaxes you. The most common remedies are chocolate and baths.

I haven't seen that one. Is it the sequel to Raging Bull, which is a fantastic film. I'm not sure your reaction to it is normal though. Perhaps you should stick to light comedies or romantic films.
