Yes, about a week before and during, I'm horrible. I have terrible mood swings and just can't stand myself. Don't know how the family deals with me.

I've tried increasing my vitamins intake over the last year instead of being on the pill, as I was for years, but I find it's getting worse. Also, my periods are so heavy, I've slipped back into full blown anemia. I'm going back on the pill this month to combat those two problems.

My dr is not a pill pusher so he has been working with me to try to find an alternate solution. In my case, medication is going to be what is needed. Talk with your dr and see if you can find a plan that works for you. G/L!
