Close Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

I think I have suffered with PMS since I started having a period (that would be over 25 years ago!). The symptoms have changed over the years. Now that I'm older and have had a baby (he's almost 3), the moods are worse. The rage is just terrible. I have tried bcp. It worked for me in the past, but now it seems to give me headaches. I've used all the analgics. I've tried some natural therapies. Is there any hope?

Treatments

Black Cohosh Somewhat Helpful

Maybe I didn't use it long enough? Not sure...I did use a GNC womans formula for awhile and that seemed o help...along with vitamins

Evening Primrose Oil Somewhat Helpful

Naproxen Working / Worked

Great for cramps...as long as you start it it early enough

Oral Contraceptives Working / Worked

I wish I could take them! Most of them now give me terrible headaches. I don't know if it is the estrogen or the progest.

Progesterone Cream Too Soon to Tell

Every time I use it....I feel cramps.
