What PMT symptoms do you suffer from?

[butterflyexperience]

First few months of getting my period back after having dd2 was horrendous.

I honestly felt like I could rip off the heads of any idiots who were stupid enough to cross my path - Dh included -

I also suffered from road rage and would have to really get a grip if myself not to have a fight especially as dc would be with me [shame]

Bloating
Tiredness
General grump and lack of patience

Pmt scares me as I really could end up losing all my friends and perhaps even divorce because I am so irritated with the world.

What's the worse thing you've done whilst having pmt

I get accused of being schizophrenic as am ok one minute and angry the next.

Why don't men have classes on how to understand women like we have antenatal, their mothers seem to teach them sweet f* all.

I crave choclate which at the moment is not good for my diet, think I will try the Evening Primose Oil to sort the bad temper and mood swings.

I get;
paranoia (social)
sore legs
insomnia
anxiety
tiredness
clumsiness
anger
depression
spots
sore back
carbohydrate craving
etc.
Rubbish isn't it.
However, i have found that taking Magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin B religiously, has helped significantly, especially with the physical symptoms and the duration of all symptoms.

I'd say ask my husband but he's under the patio. But seriously, anger, depression, generAl fuzzy headedness, headaches, joint pain, bloating.
I just take pain killers when needed and if I'm having one of those days I mutter to myself and warn everyone in range that I may explode if provoked.

Really feel for you all cos it is awful.

My cycle is really irregular (anywhere between 20 and 40 days) but PMT follows a similar order each month

3 days before Anger, raging anger
2 days before Quiet sadness, listlessness
Day before Back ache and piles, teary, stomach pops out to 6 months pregnant
Period starts
Day 2 and 3 Mega heavy bleeding - mooncup filled in an hour, biggish clots
Day 6 finishes

Wow - I can't believe so many suffer with pmt crap

It's almost life crippling iyswim?

If I can organise myself to buy and take supplements I will.

I am due on today and have been arguing with Dh all day

And hating him for the past few days

Carbohydrate cravings
Tiredness
Unable to focus or concentrate on anything
Irritable
Feel 'slow'
My hair and skin go to pot
Bloated stomach, puffy face, look absolutely awful
Sore boobs

Hate it. I lose a week out of every month where I am totally unproductive and feel shit.
