PMS breast tenderness and pain
 

My breasts are particularly sore and swollen this month.

I usually get bad PMS, but my breast pain has generally been a lot less, except now, here, at day 26 [my cycle averages 34 days] it is really bad.

I take remeron [mirtazapine, anti-depressant. it was much worse on efexor!]
along with high strength [1000mg] Evening Primrose Oil, a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement, plus additional Calcium with magnesium. I also use Bach Flower Remedies and find them very helpful.

My GP has confirmed my hormones normal, following the blood test I had to have when I had the psychiatrist referal. Its just, as she says, that I am extra sensitive to them.

Naturally I'm working with lots of emotional issues [including around being a single, nearing end of my optimum fertility years, childless virgin 37 year old woman with an abuse history..] in therapy.
Which could explain in part the struggles.

But I would appreciate any advice or tips on anything that I could do to relieve the pain. Please.

Can't really help you, i'm an 18 year old male, so i've got no idea, but hang in there x. Hope you feel better soon :) Take care.

I PMd you some hours ago so when you are free to reply i will be able to help hopefully.

Thanks. I replied to your pm, Aaron.
