Terrible PMS

Since I had my first clot 4 years ago ( which resulted in the contraception pill being stopped) I have had terrible PMS. It is effecting my life so badly now as I am driving my husband away ( He is always the one I take my anger out on)

It has gotten to the point where the escalation of anger is at the point where I am crying non stop on the week before my period. Erratic thoughts and thoughts of harm.

Last year I had to have an ablation of my womb as my periods were crippling me. This hasn't helped my emotional state around the time of my period.

My body feels in permanent turmoil!

On top of the foggy brain, forgetfulness, aches and pains and pins and needles, That week a month is destroying me

I am on riveroxoban( although going back to fragmin as I have started developing side effects) B12 injections. Folic acid vitamin D ampoules and Prozac 20 mg daily for the pain with fibromyalgia that I was diagnosed with last year. Thyroid level is fine also.

I am under Sarah Lewis at Abergavenny hospital for APS and a specialist for the fibromyalgia at The Gwent.

Any experiences, insights ,would help as I feel terrible

Up until 4 years ago I was perfectly healthy. I still exercise, ride my horse and do over 11,000 steps a day on my Fitbit to stay active

Please help as I feel so awful

My T3 was 5.18 at the last check. I used blue horizon medical as I wasn't getting the full range at my gp

A few months ago I saw an endocrinologist who made me have the gland test( steroid tablet then bloods taken the next morning)

That came back normal. I know though my hormone levels feel unstable the week before my period

Could you send me the details. I am more than happy to travel.

Free T3 was 5.18 and reverse T3 was 18. I don't really understand what it means but that is the ranges on the test.

I live in Monmouth South Wales.

Thank you for your help
