PMT sufferers - what do you take to ease your symptoms?

[BarbieGirl]

I take vit b6 and evening primrose oil (high strength) and that is it.

Is there anything else I can take? I cannot take Agnus Castus as the tablets are way to big for me to swallow.

My PMT is getting worse. Any advice?

Try not to drink alcohol, cut down on caffeine, chocolate etc and exercise, exercise, exercise.
I found magnesium helps and folic acid is meant to help regulate the hormones.

It's so horrible isn't it?

Where can I get magnesium from? Is it in tablet form? Is it just called magnesium. Thanks.

I got mine from Asda. I've seen it in health food shops and chemists as well.

I was prescribed some progesterone pessaries. I didn't egt them for PMT but the info leaflet said that that is what they are used for. May be worth asking about if it's really bad.

Agnus castus - I think you can get it in a different form

Sorry yes magnesium is in tablet form. They are much smaller than the Agnus Castus. They really make me gag too.

Thanks all.

I will look into finding out if the Agnus Castus are liquid form or in smaller size tablets as I really do have a problem swallowing tablets - even little ones.

I will aslo ask the Pharmacist about the Progesterone pessary.

I never used to be able to swallow tablets. A pharmacist frined suggested a drink firs so the mouth isn't too dry. I tell yself swallow and while sometimes it take a bit of time, it usually goes down okay.

I take Agnus Catcus for spots as Gillian McKeiths recommendation...

Star flower is supposed to be good for PMT as well as Primrose Oil....

You can often get them in "Tinture" forumla hope this helps.
