[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 431018, member: 1233"] Definitely yes. Jess, scarily enough, started with a monthly mood swing about 4 years before her period started. I instinctively threw dark chocolate at her and it helped enormously. She was incredibly upset because she couldn't control her anger for a couple of days each time. Of course her anger was NOT anger compared with most kids, but for her it was intense. She just has always had a very sunny disposition, so it really bugged her. We found that making sure she had enough calcium, vit D and a multivitamin helped, and then chocolate on the days she was cranky made a big difference. I had horrible PMS and was a witch with it, really really bad, and chocolate always helped me. the darker the more it helps. It got worse when she got her periods, and for the first year she would cry also. Cranky and crying PMS is NOT fun = and chocolate still helped. I kept the dove dark promises around hidden in various jars that thank you knew about so he could calm her down if I wasn't there wehn she got moody. He didn't liek them, so he didn't eat them all - just gave her a few at a time. Only 1 ob/gyn ever said it was possible, and he didn't believe it until he saw it in his own daughters. His wife had lots of PMS problems and he was super helpful to all his patients who struggled with PMS. ONly male doctor I ever met who understood it and didn't say it was all in our heads. When seh is older she may benefit from medications like prozac during the week before her period. I did for many years. Thankfully the hysterectomy stopped all that for me. I am sorry that she is going through this. Some people I know say that evening primrose oil has helped their kids wtih pms also. [/QUOTE]
