Does anyone else have extreme PMS before a unusually heavy period?

Question

I mean that the PMS is off the wall..very different than normal.

Answer 1

Funny that you mention that..... I just noticed a correlation between the two as well. I'm in the midddle of an unusually heavy period now, and was a basket case for the last! Not so much bloating and cramping like usual, but my moods were all over the place. I've been really irritable and sort-fused... everything has set me off.
With my normal period, I tend to be more bloated, but I usually don't get the mood swings like I have now.
I've been trying to take long baths in the last week, and rest a lot as well as drink lots of water. The baths and rest have helped calm me down and gave me some time away from my family, who seems to be getting the brunt of my mood swings. Water helps to loosen up all your muscles, so i've cut down on some of the cramping.
Guess I'll have to pay more attention to myself pre-period to gauge how heavy or light it might be....
