evening primrose oil

[needcoffee1982]

i heard this was good for PMT. i have been having awful symptoms before my period starts. i cant sleep, i have palpitations, i keep crying and feel too sick to eat. would taking primrose oil help?

Personally I think it's rubbish and suggest Magnesium OK tablets, which are basically huge quantities of VitBs which have done the world of good for me.

Have you done a calendar to demonstrate that it's definitely PMT? Sounds more like anxiety attacks to me.

Worth a try, see if it helps (as long as you have the spare ££)?

I took it regularly for eczema, which it didn't massively help; found it improved period pains though - but i don't get PMT so can't comment on usefulness there...
