Thanks for your reply. I do take Krill oil and tolerate it pretty well and also take a calcium-magnesium formula in liquid form which I believe has helped some. I had my vitamin D levels checked and it was very low 16 ng/ml, so my doctor put me in supplements and it went up to 34ng/ml, however according to various studies, optimum levels should be closer to 50-100 ng/ml. The irony is that I live in Florida and my brother who lives in South Beach, Miami also had very low levels of vitamin D. So we may have an issue with absorption more so than intake. I also take B complex, and a good multivitamin. This month I am attacking PMDD with Lexapro, and all the vitamins and supplements recommended and I'm going about it faithfully, so I will see if I see any improvements. I am looking for a doctor who would test my hormone levels and have found several in my area. I did find this website http://www.premierhormonebalance.com/dr-michael-borkin.html but how legitimate this guy is I don't know. Anyways we will continue on our quest and try to find some answers. Thanks so much for your time.
