So about a month ago, Laura wrote a post about evening primrose oil.
I thought, "hmmm, interesting" but when I mentioned it to D, he immediately perked up and said, "okay, where do we get you some?" like I had hormone issues!!!
We went past Clicks about a week later and I got some vitamins for women with a high % of evening primrose oil.
I haven't taken vitamins for years!
And people, these things have kind-of changed my life. I don't feel as irritable and rant-y, so I'm thinking I now should never even think about not having the EPO vitamins nearby....
Not like the Marie Kondo book or Motherstyles, but still significantly enough. (enough!)
I noticed almost right away because about two weeks later, I'd had a period and I had only shouted at the kids once. Now nearly a month later, I've had only two (mild) freaking out episodes.
It's a miracle.
I've only missed taking the tablets two days which is also a miracle.
So thank you again, Laura - you're a genius!
I'm all Zen and my kids tell me I'm the best Mummy ever!
Have you tried evening primrose oil? Did you notice a difference?
I haven't tried it, haha, but perhaps I should? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't. I only take medicine if I'm sick. And even then I always ask for injections ;)
ReplyDeleteI've not taken it before, but this is so worth looking into.
ReplyDeleteYou will not believe it but i also read the post from Laura and remembered I used to take them before the kids. Started taking them about a week and a bot ago and already noticing I am not so tired and irritable.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, it makes you less tired? I must try this!!
ReplyDeleteHaha glad you're all zen now.
ReplyDeleteI take so many vitamins now, to try and recoup after Roaccutane... not sure the evening primrose oil would make a difference. Although I suppose it's worth a shot
Those are fantastic capsules...no more tender breasts either.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad Marcia :)
