I'm 43 almost 44 and I really get the physical part of periods now. Severe cramping. All that goes with it. I didn't get this when I was younger. But I got the mental part really bad in my 20s and 30s.

I can still take ibuprofen and it helps. As for the mental part, I would always warn ppl I was pms'ing. That I didn't feel well.

You can also look into some vitamins to see if they help.

Sorry you guys suffer with it too.
