Hello, I am 43 years old and face strong pms before onset of my period. One and half week before I feel very out of focus and cannot concentrate at office work /meetings. I feel I have trouble starting my period and have started taking ferrous sulfate (325 mg) and vitamin b12 tablets lately twice a week with exercise which I feel helps me a lot. But the amount of pms that I get along with trouble starting period which I cannot time demotivates me. Sometimes I will get regular flow sometimes I will just have spotting. I fear with age this problem will grow worse and at some point I will have to quit working as I cannot handle the discomfort this situation will bringing in. Please advice me on how to deal this problem from here on until I get menopause and how to maintain cheerful and active lifestyle here after. Can.

You can try with pain killers like brufen or naproxen a few days before starting of periods. If that doesn't help, consult a psychiatrist for starting antidepressants. Regarding the flow problem, you need an ultrasound. You can also consider mirena for countering it.

This is a normal part of perimenopause (the period before and after menpause) which is experienced by most women. Please do not take antidepressants as they are not needed. There are many medicines available which work wonders in these situations. They are non hormonal so there is no harm in trying them. Yoga and meditation are always helpful as is addition of soyabean to your daily diet. If you would like to discuss in detail please contact me.
