I have to be really careful since I had that medication induced mini-stroke...I am unable to take any HRT  so I have to "suffer" through most of this. I have noticed though that what I eat or what I don't eat has an effect on my symptoms - watch the caffiene, sodium, and carbs  - basically everything that I crave, I need to cut out during these times...
I did buy some herbal stuff that is supposed to help... Estoven - but it doesn't work if I don't take it! LOL (according to Cobalt) I don't like taking pills - that is my problem....

Cheyanne, Estroven is good stuff, I take it too. I've done alot of reading and have found that 1200 mg. of calcium per day is supposed to have a higher rate of effectiveness on PMS, etc, than antidepressants do. You take 600mg with breakfast, and 600mg with lunch. I also take ST. John's Wort at bedtime.
I can't say it's eliminated all my ups and downs, but it's definitely helped.

I have been ok'd to take estroven from the doc..will have to ask about the calcium. She has warned me against the St. John's Wort because I take an asprin a day... (supposed to anyway - I hate taking medicine!) Anyway, she suggested that before I try anything herbal, I should check with her first and make sure that she has the information in my file.
I will start to take it and get back with you ladies!!

estroven? I learned something in the hut!
Thanks for the bump, Lixy! I was just going to track down the thread and relax here for a bit. It's not time yet but my ovaries are trying to tell me something today.
