I, too, would love to find a solution.

A solution would be good! I bought a book yesterday about PMS, which has some horrifying statistics, e.g. a study carried out by the Women`s Nutritional Advisory Service in this country. The research they did into depression as a pre-menstrual symptom showed :
Out of 1000 women -
10% were not affected by depression at all
15% suffered mild depression
19% suffered moderate depression
56% suffered severe depressionThe statistics for suicidal thoughts were even worse.
It totally opened my eyes to things that I had not realised were related to the menstrual cycle. It`s a nightmare to be sure.
My pen-friend (male) told me that he believes that PMT is an `excuse` for bad behaviour in women. They just don`t know the half.
Anyway, thanks for responding.
Anna.
