    Sweets usually make me feel worse. I take Vitamin D, Magnesium Glycinate, Fish Oil and drink plenty of water. Personally, the supplements make things better however; the symptoms come and go as the hormones play tag with us. It's a roller coaster ride but this forum has been a saving grace.

    I had to give up eggs, dairy, yeast. Reduced sugar big time. MSG also ruins me! So no more of that.Made a big difference, but am having a day similar to yours (actually, a week). Sometimes you can do everything right and hormones still have their fun. I hope your day gets better.

    Never thought about this.. I know that sugar is bad-- like a drug and could cause problems later on in life. I do my best to stay away just because I'm trying to watch my weight. But maybe I should try harder due to hormones.. Around my period I get BAD cravings for sugar and it's a time where I cave for pop, hamburger, fries or whatever else--- I just need it and feel so much better afterwards.. BUT then days later I feel tired and have that 'drunk' feeling--- not with it.
