Marlene,

It may not be PTSD related. I just know that ptsd can make a whole lot of normal symptoms worse. It's like a catalyst or it intensifies all the feelings. I've had PMS long before I was diagnosed with PTSD. It gets fuzzy here though in that maybe I was working so hard to keep the memories supressed that when I became hormonal (PMS), it just threw everything kilter. Who knows. I've got depression thrown in there too so it's hard to determine what "disorder" was causing the PMS. It could just be that I'm just a really cranky person!

I'm glad you found a solution or a "cure". I have taken evening primrose oil before for pregnancy. Of course, that's a whole "nother hormonal stage! I'll be checking back to see what other girls post....
