PMS so bad that you feel unfunctionable
I know I can't be the only one! I notice that as I am getting older, my pms is worse. I'm more emmotional, irritable, edgy and sensitive. This is like 10 days before the monthly friend! I remember in my teens and 20's it was not a bother at all and since I came into my thirties, I feel a major change.
I tried working out more, eating less meat, taking in less caffeine..nothing works to help ease the symptoms.
Can those who have this problem share what works for you?

I have noticed it. My gyn said to up protein, B12.
My friend said primrose oil has helped significantly. I'll be trying that next.

I do take in alot of protein through me health shakes. I will have to check the amount of B12 in my multi vitamin..maybe it's not enough. I will have to try that primrose oil too. Let me know how it works!

I have noticed it as well! I haven't gone to the Dr for it though!

Evening Primrose Oil helps SO MUCH! I am going to look into B12 as well, as I am ALWAYS tired for no reason.

Re: PMS so bad that you feel unfunctionable
I don't know what helps because I haven't figured it out yet either Same issues here as you've experienced. My PMS is terrible (and didn't used to be this bad). I get insomnia, night sweats, anxiety, emotional you name it. That and it doesn't go away as soon as my period starts (which it used to)

Re: PMS so bad that you feel unfunctionable
I would go to the dr and see if maybe its PMDD.
I was diagnosed a few years ago - and its changed my life. I take Sarafem for 2 weeks each month and its truly a life saver.
No more irritableness, anxiety, and irrational thoughts. Im actuall happy and pleasant which is the exact opposite of what i was
PMDD

This is exactly how I feel. I used to not even notice PMS. Around age 26, it started getting worse. Now, at 29, my symptoms are like 10x worse in intensity than when i was younger. I also have waaaay worse cramps with my period. I thought it was just MY body - didn't realize it happened to others, too.
Imagine if men had to deal with this.

Evening Primrose Oil in a capsule- it kind of looks like a gel pill if that makes sense.
