Is it normal to get really insane the day before your period?

k, so I know pms is normal but what about a complete emotional meltdown? Leading up to my period I swing between weepy and inexplicably happy. Then, the day before usually, I just can't handly something, and freak out. Epic toddler temper tantruam freak out. It's absurd. Anyone else experience this?

    Mysti - 1 week! you have it worse than me. I find these iron tablets with raspberry leaf in them takes the edge off and shortens my period but it certainly isn't a cure.

    Nutrition can only do so much. Go see an endocrinologist.

    Did you know that PMS is a learned condition?
    Anthropologists have found that PMS is taught to girls by their mothers and it does not occur outside of modern western society.
    So thank your mothers, girls, for another unnatural condition that your mothers or modern society have left you as a legacy.

    Evening primrose oil - couple times a day - helps reduce the swelling and pain in tummy and breasts. Otherwise - buy plastic plates and just go nuts until you get all that rage out. It will pass :)

    You need to balance your hormones. Try and find a good nutritionist.
