Okay, I have been dealing with these issues far too long and all the doctors want to do is give me antidepressants. I have terrible PMS or PMDD, whichever. Moody, extremely irritible. Short fused, I don't even want to be around myself! Pain in the breast, chest, stomach everywhere. It only occurs around the time of my period and during it. ANyone else experience this? I have been in the ER & hospital with the chest pains at this time (very mild but irritating and scary none the less!) and no one has found anything cardiac related. Oh yeah and now I am having hot flashes also! UGH! I don't know what else to do!!! Help someone! Help!

I would suggest talking to your doctor about putting you on YAZ or a birth control like that. It may help. Also what you can do is go and talk to a completely different doctor. every doctor has an opinion as to whats going on and maybe the doctor that you are going to may not coincide with what you would like. Especially make it clear what you want especially if you don't what to be on anti-depressants. Are you currently on Birth control, if you aren't it may be a good idea. It may help you.

On yasmin since Feb. Was on Ortho Lo before and that made me even crazier with the dose changing weekly......my doctor switched it with hopes that it would help relieve some of the symptoms.......it did very little.......I have seen several drs over the years and all say the same thing.....ugh! They don't seem to take my concerns as serious as i do. Thanks for the input and suggestions tho; I appreciate it.

Sorry it didn't post my full answer. There is a new pill out there that will stop your period for 8 months out of the year you will only have 4 periods total. I had the same problems you are talking about my doctor gave me a huge name to describe it. I won't give out the name of the pill im taking due to my paranoia but ask your doctor about it. And let me know if it helps you as much as it has helped me.

How old are you? Look into diet. Food and Mood would be a good book to read through, The Women's Advantage Diet would be another and third really good one, If You Love Me Don't Feed Me Junk. Food is chemicals and it all affects your body and your moods. You might want to educate yourself about BGH and it affect on humans. It can really mess up your hormones. Educate yourself, follow up with your doc and give serious consideration to removing all non organic dairy products and meats from your diet.
