As a couple of women have already said
it's not quite as simple as going "Oh I've got PMT, I'm going to control it", although, I wish it was! Often I don't realise what it is until I've tried to bite a couple of people's heads off, then when I do realise I shut myself away for a couple of days. Seriously, I used to get it so badly I actually thought I was going to KILL someone. So I trotted off to the doctor and got these magic pills that stop all the hormonal imbalances AND my periods - bliss! However, I do very occasionally still get the odd bit of PMT (quite often not followed by a period, weird) where the red mist descends and I just have to lock myself in a room and not talk to people for a couple of days.

Trust me, it's no fun for us either - I HATE being that stroppy and upsetting people, and then crying uncontrollably because I've upset someone!
