Raging PMT I feel utterly crap :( what will help?

[HepburnKNotA]

I’ve literally just gone and bought evening primrose capsules as my friend said they helped her but short of taking all 60 at once I need a fast fix.

My boobs are swollen and they HURT SO MUCH.

I am irritable and bloated and bloated and irritable. I hate everyone that moves. Or talks.

I am knackered and sleepy.

My diet is good, I exercise a bit, walk a lot. Why oh why oh why do I feel so rubbish from days 23-27?????

I’m 43. Does it just get worse?

I lost my temper with DH yday and in fairness He’d Done nothing wrong.

My mum was foul with PMT all during her 40s and by god I don’t want to turn into her.

What can i do? Quick fix and long term???

Please help!!

Unfortunately, PMS can become increasingly severe as women enter the peri-menopause during their forties. It can be so much worse than just feeling a bit grumpy, it can become a serious problem which ruins lives for more than half the month.

I have this, I'm 46 it's been going on for about 4 years. I asked my GP for help and she recommended sertraline and SSRI which is used for pmt. It's made a massive difference, the first few weeks I felt detached but now completely normal.
