@Mummasquirrel YES!! That’s me! Every month for 1 week prior to my period! The only option that actually worked for me was Progesterone only pill and propranolol as & when needed.

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is actually what it’s called and mine was also triggered by having my my 3rd baby!

I really can sympathise because it’s horrendous and can destroy relationships and treatment is really trial and error.
