I agree that Sarafem is not a solution, but I know there is something very wrong happening for me on a monthly cycle that doesn't involve typical premenstrual symptoms - it's all emotional. No cramps, no achy breasts, possibly bloating but not enough to bother me.
One of the interesting things I came across in my NMT treatment was severe endogenous allergies. I really hope getting those cleared up will help my moods.
