Hey !!!

Im wondering....

I have been suffering bad mood.... you know, like when everything irritates you....

I would like to try a supplement before asking my doc for meds...

Im taking vit A, B, D, E and Omegas 3, 6 already....

Does anyone know about something helping stabilizing mood ??

Thanks in advance !!!!

The best one for me...not that I admit to PMS...but my husband admits I have it...is SAMe.

Helps mood, my joints and is an awesome liver cleanse.

Not cheap. I have gone off it different times and regreted it.

Thank you Curious !

Could I ask, what is SAMe ??? I google it and got "weird" things, nothing to do with supplements....

We have many posts and threads about it. Let me see what I can find.

Here is a good explanation.

Oh !!! thank you so much for the link !!!!

It is very interesting because I have Osteoarthritis too, so, I think it can really help me !

Thanks !

MrsD took it for a long time. I'm sure she will post when she next gets online.

Can you tell I REALLY like this stuff?

Thanks !

SAMe is good for some things, and not for others.

It has been my experience that younger patients do not do well with it, or get irritable with it.

SAMe is a substance that your body normally makes. With age, it tends to get low and supplementing it helps.
It will enhance synthesis of several neurotransmitters in the brain.

Using B12, B6, folate, can accomplish the same things if only minor loss of SAMe is an issue. These 3 vitamins convert homocysteine to SAMe in the body.

As Curious has found out, SAMe is great for arthritis and certain pain conditions. That is why I took it for so long.
(I am now trying a special Curcumin to see if I can get by with that for inflammation now). When I stopped the SAMe it appeared that I was okay for a while, but now my back is starting to flare, so it looks like I will be returning to it.(it has been about 3 months off it)

As far as your question, Blue, well, being in a bad mood is a rather vague description. Are you anxious? Obsessive?
Depressed? Does this happen with your periods?

Can you be more specific?

Ok, Ill try....

With bad mood I mean, feeling mad and angry without a reason. Like, Im at the computer doing nothing important and my mom arrives to my room and I feel angry... I had to ask her to leave....
Or... seeing a person and feeling just mad at that... Like feeling I hate everybody....
Not with my periods.... just, whenever....
