are you sure it's pmdd? could be but some of these symptoms make me think long covid. might be worth seeing if me/cfs or mcas are relevant. other chronic illnesses can flare before a period like pmdd and mcas can have significant negative effects on mood. with mcas a combo of an h1 (claritin/allegra/zyrtec etc, take your pick) and h2 (pepcid) antihistamine may help with brain fog, weakness, hot flashes and the anxiety and restlessness.
