Hi,
Well, it begins about a week before my period and lasts through my
period which means about 2 weeks in total that I am totally moody! I
have been watching my carbs and so forth so I am not sure what the
problem is. I did get some blood tests done to determine my hormone
amounts as well as some thyroid tests... maybe that will give me some
insight when the results come back.
Thanks for the replies.
