Does anyone else have PMDS (extreme PMS)?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi I am 40 and for the past few years I have noticed my PMS is getting worse and worse...I have depressoin and anxiety and I get intensely angry and upset at everything and everyone at this time of the month. I am on anti-depressants that work fairly well most of the time. I also use chocolate to feel better. I live in a tiny town with not much medical support. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Any comments or suggestions?

however I am now in my mid 50's and I think I must have completed the change by now. It may be worth asking your Dr if a blood test can be done to see if you are peri menopausal then at least you will know and then be able to try and manage it. Yes it would be difficult but unfortunately there is not a lot that can be done except HRT it is something we ladies have to go through.
Hope this helps, you helped me last night in my discussion and yes I do not feel quite as low as I did last night, but there again although I was awake half the night I did not have to get up early and slept well from half six to half ten this morning.

I've heard horror stories about HRT so I didn't even consider it but looked for an alternative instead. I'm so glad I found it.

I know I'm late to answer but OH MY GOD YES!!! You have described me perefectly. I am also 40 and suffering witht he same. I am also on anti depressents which work well the rest of the time but lately I am out of control with PMS. Not only do I get the usual massive mood swings, depression, anxiety but I have also got this whole change in attitude to my life during this time. I literally want to leave my husband during times like this and am absolutely terrified I will and live to regret it.
