Starflower oil

Hi everyone!
I'm new to Mumsnet and this is my first post.
I would be very grateful if anyone has any remedies for PMS. I've tried starflower oil, but it gave me the most hideous migraines and made me physically sick! It was the high strength stuff - 1000mg, but I felt like I'd been poisoned! I had migraines and flashing lights and tunnel vision etc. Has anyone else ever experienced this?
Thanks girls!
Lorelei

Lorel; I am going to start taking Vit B6 and a Magnesium and Calcium supplement for ridiculously bad PMS. Read on Bupa website. And just in case I will keep stash of dairy milk in fridge. No seriously its no joke, let me know if you find anything else.

Ooh wasn't expecting to be able to help myself but have just read in Eve magazine that Agnus Castus from here is meant to relieve the main symptoms as well as other herbs like Black cohosh and milk thistles which balance hormones and help the liver according to Marilyn Glenville - author of Overcoming PMS The natural way.
