Thanks for such an great thread, it's good to know how others cope with PMT, TOM, and menopause in all its stages.
I am 43, and started peri-pausal symptoms a couple of years ago,
all the usual, disruption of TOM and night sweats to fill a bath, terrible depression during PMT. But I have noticed since starting LC eating, that my symptoms are reduced and my DH is sooo pleased, he hates seeing me messed up. Always does his best to cheer me, but I suspect like many of you, occasionally even that is just not enough! Have just started to include Agnus Castus in to my supplements, has anyone else used this? Any benefits at all?

Like some of you, I saw my lady GP who said it was far too soon for this to be happening to me, but I know it was the same for my mum very early 40's to start these symptoms,so it would seem to follow a trend, as we both started getting TOM around the age of 11.

Thanks again for all the useful info on this thread and keeping in touch with each other is going to help many of us!
