    Oh you poor thing :(
    I've heard Starflower Oil is supposed to be very good, and Evening Primrose Oil too.

    Starflower oil is like a super powered version of Evening Primrose Oil. I'm not sure if they help with the heaviness of the flow but it's supposed to be very good for reducing cramps, bloating and that 'demon' feeling! I see B complex vitamins often recommended alongside it. Few girls in work swear by it!

    I presume if your flow is really heavy, your doc checked your iron levels? Low iron levels can make you feel lethargic and this could be making you even more irritable?
