Joy!!! You are in the throws of perimenopause. PMS gets extreme during this time. I had the exact same thing. I told my doc I couldnt live having 2 weeks of my life every month being horrible and me feeling rage and emotional. She gave me an anti depressant and told felt worse! I finally found a functional med doc. She tested my hormones. My estrogen was going crazy and my progesterone was very low. So, she gave me progesterone to increase it. Then I went on a DIM supplement to get rid of the estrone (bad estrogen). This “balanced “ my hormones and I felt like a new person!!! I was about 47 then. I am now 52. I’m not fully in menopause but just recently she put me on very low dose of estrogen patch bc it’s starting to get low and I’m still on progesterone. If she had not have done this for me, I could not have handled it!!! Please see a functional med doc. You CAN start HRT while in perimenopause. You don’t have to wait until you are fully in menopause!!!!
