It won't do you any harm worth a go you poor thing!Agnus castus is good in the long term but not sure about quick fixes

I'd try the rescue remedy, perhaps the whole bottle?

Have you tried nibbling raisins or other healthy carbs every couple of hours to keep your sugar levels level? Maybe even a good hijuice squash with no sweetener?

Yup - drink gallons of the stuff, and chamomile tea. Put a fruity teabag in with the chamomile if you don't like it on its own.

I was there on Wedsnesday... not fun

Starflower is great too.

Not a quick fix, but taking 2 capsules of Boots Evening Primrose Oil for 3 months worked wonders. I can now get through the run up to a period without shouting at my children!

Rescue remedy is basically alcohol...

A friend of mine suffers the most awful PMT - she takes 1000mg of Evening Primrose every day through her cycle and swears by it.

I also think that regular exercise helps - even if its just 20-40mins brisk walking in the weeks before...

good luck

I get awful PMT as well, and have found comfort in a large glass of wine or two at that time of the month!
Not suffering at the moment as I'm expecting, but I don't know what's worse - sometimes I would glady swap the constant tiredness and tearyness for a bit of PMT
Have you tried vitamin B6 supplements from 10 days before you're due on? These helped me, when primrose oil didn't seem to make much of a difference - but I guess everyone's different!
I do sympathise though, it can be hell on earth Good luck!

rescue remedy will help with immediate 'eruptions's misdee. I take Agnus Castus (herbal tabs from Holland and Barratt) and it has certainly calmed my pms down. But if in doubt, chocolate and/or wine works just as well
