I can feel it coming on - I'm getting VERY emotional, and also very irritated, but my period is not due for well over a week, and I know that it's just gonna get worse. It never used to be this bad, but over the last 6 months or so I have noticed it getting worse and I don't think I can cope with it much longer. I'm fed up with being so unhappy.

don't panic you are not allow!!
try evening of primrose oil and complete B6 vitamin.
this will help with the mood swings, bloating etc. Long-term treatment (more than 3 months) may be required before any effect is noticed.
Also watch what you eat at this time try to cut down on all the refine sugar such as cakes biscuits etc as this makes it worse try to eat healthy. Try eating a balanced diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables and contains plenty of complex carbohydrates (wholemeal bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, etc.) certainly promotes general good health.
Taking regular exercise, such as aerobics or jogging - exercise can help with the symptoms, but it should be done regularly, not just when symptoms are present.
Avoiding stress at home and work in the time before a period is due. Pinpointing and avoiding any emotional triggers or stress that make the symptoms worse; discussing these with your partner or a friend and asking for their support.
keep a diary and if it continues see your G.P who can prescribe medication but he/she will need proof.
good luck, the tips help me and our 4 daughters

I had terrible problems with the week before my period, I also have poly cystic ovarian syndrome. I opted to have a mirena coil inserted which contains in-utero progestins - a form of progesterone the stays within the womb and this virtually stopped my periods and no PMT!!!!!

Hello,not sure how old you are,but i a 31 and had a terrible time with pmt over the years ,it was hell,
so i went on different pills ,oral pills (pills you take by mouth)they seemed to effect me worse emotional ,
a friend of mine suggested to on the pill injection ,they gave it to you in any family planning ,it is an injection every 3 months ,you don`t get your period at all ,
so no chance of having babies and no pmt because you dont have a period
i was on it for 4 years and it was like i had turned in to a brand new person ,to be honest it can effect people in different ways ,but all my friends that went on had the same effect as me ,brilliant ,
i am now older and came off it recently as if you want kids you need to come off it 2 years in advance so you can have kids and get body back from not having periods .
i basic can say that when i went on it ,it saved my relation ship and santity ,
the main reason i went off it was after 4 yrs i felt i had lost my sex drive just towards the end of the 4 yrs ,plus i want to have children in the next 3 years ,
so we are just using condoms ,but the amazing thing is a have been off it 8 months now and periods are nothing like they used to be i used to get them for 8 days ,heavy ,now only 3 days !
i used to have pmt the week before a period ,the week during period and the week after ,it was hell !!
Now i don`t get pmt at all ,so i would sugest you get the pill injection ,or even ask family planning about it ,it was a miracle for me ,the main reason you should stay away from other oral pils is because i tried them all ,about 7 different ones and i swear it was like pmt but worse ,in an emotional way !!!
i hope you look into ,as i have to it saved me ,in alot of ways and even now my periods or nothing like they used to be !!!
Good luck and it is worth having a look !!!
Most family planning clinics are very helpful ,and if you tell the what i told you they will have heard about all the stuff i have told you !!
Good luck,be prepared to have a happy ,chilled out time and more friends !!!they will have heard about it and there is only one ,just call it the pill injection !!

Evening Primrose oil is supposed to be beneficial. Go along to your local health food store and ask for advice, i use natural remedies for lots of stuff and they can work just as well as conventional meds. Good luck x

might want to ask your doctor about this.
some OTC and/or prescription meds might help with this
