I am 70, with T2 ( insulin and Met) I also have hypothyroidism. Recently I feel the same way as I did in my 30s and 40s, ie bad PMT. Yet I cant have that so it must be something to do with my hormones. Can anyone suggest a remedy? I take B6 but they seem to have lost their power.

Hello.

Could you give us a bit more information about the specifics of your "PMT"? Like so many hormone related things, there are many potential symptoms.
 
Some of my hypo symptoms are unpleasantly like PMT.

Do you have a blood glucose meter, and can you test while you are experiencing the symptoms?

Although I realise that PMT-like moments are probably not conducive to stopping and testing. I would find it rather a distraction while stalking Mr B around the kitchen brandishing a carving knife and verbally flaying him...

Its a feeling of being not quite with it. As if I am in another parallel world, short tempered, wanting to be left alone and not talking.
 
Maybe a discussion with your gp , and perhaps some blood tests....some ladies remain on hrt with hormone problems well into their 80's

Thanks Lynn - whilst what you are feeling may be reminiscent of PMT, it also covers a whole raft of things. Probably a quick chat with your doc would be worthwhile.

Hi again,

Are there any particular times or occasions that you experience this?

I would agree that a trip to the doctors sounds like a good idea, but the more details you can give him, the better. Good luck.
