I sympathize - I've seriously dated a woman with terrible, more than prozac-worthy PMS and sometimes have cyclical mood swings myself. And not to get to terribly off topic, but if a woman is having consistantly bad pms every month, you should let your loved one know that there is help. That she doesn't have to feel miserable and/or depressed and/or out of control angry 3-14 days a month. It's something I often treat quite nicely with acupuncture and sometimes chinese herbal medicine. Almost all cases of PMS that I've seen were significantly helped; I don't know that I've ever even heard a colleague tell me about a PMS case who wasn't responding well. I know none of you are local to me, but anyone is welcome to send me a PM and if I don't know a good practitioner in your area, I'll send a message to my alumni mailing list asking for a referral in your area.
My apologies for being off-topic, but if you think it's being unpleasant to be on the receiving end of PMS, you should realize that it can be pretty awful to be the one experiencing the hormone swings. I just HATE to see anyone a prisoner of what they think is "biological destiny." It's not.
PMS is nearly always manageable.
Stepping down from the soapbox and returning you to your regularly scheduled fun sex conversations.
