Help with wife's pmt/pmdd

[nebakanezer]

Hi all, just looking for some advice really. My wife suffers truly terrible pmt and always has but
sometimes she gets herself in a real mess, I understand it and stand by her the best I can but it's awful to see the mess she gets in.

She's 33 and had quite a difficult up bringing so life has never been easy, and recently our relationship has become the target of some awful and unfair gossip about her which has made her very depressed.

She is an amazing woman and I love her deeply so I'd love some advice and hopefully be able to
help ease some of the stress she encounters during heavy periods, she does become totally
immersed in it and is impossible to talk to.

She has had the pill over the years but got taken off it, I think because she'd been on it for 10 years. Now she has the merina coil? But still suffers really badly, her mother had the same problems.

If there is anything we can try I would be hugely grateful?

Thanks in advance! X

Truly I can only sympathize. I have suffered for years wiv pmt and am now pre menopausal, and my doc has prescribed prozac for the pmt. Perhaps its worth mentiono
ing. I used to take to my bed for at least 2 days, horrendous bleeds, nasty and tempermental.
Keep her iron intake up in the meantime and I wish u the very best

How's her diet? Does she drink at all? I used to be a shocker, then followed "no more pms" by myriam stoppard. Basically cut out alcohol, ate little and often, cut out the crap food. It really helped, even now 10 years on I try to eat little and often especially in the week running up to my period..never really having a gap of longer than 3hrs (unless I'm asleep! ) and laying off too much junk/baileys on the lead up.

Sorry-wrong author!

I finf Boots rebalance disolving vits really make a difference to me. Also as a poster upthread said, her gp can prescribe prozac for onset of symptoms until start of period - this really makes a massive difference.
