Help for PMS is vital. Don't suffer PMS alone and in silence. Get help, adopt a pro-active approach to dealing with your PMS and say goodbye to having a few miserable days every month!
Help for PMS begins at home. There are a number of lifestyle adaptations which alleviate and even halt PMS symptoms. Cutting out caffeine and salt, increasing complex carbohydrate intake, evening primrose oil, vitamin, B6, B12 and E supplements, St John's Wort, magnesium and calcium all help minimize PMS symptoms. Next, tell those around you. Your partner, family, friends and colleagues. Their support and understanding of what you have to deal with shouldn't be underestimated. This will help during PMS immensely. Lets face it, they'd much rather know that you're odd behavior and feeling under the weather is down to PMS rather than something else.
More drastic help may be required for your PMS if symptoms are more serious and your life isn't improved by these self-help based methods. If so, it's vital that you consult your doctor and/or gynecologist for additional help to discuss further ways of treating your PMS. Hormone manipulation (birth control pills etc.), diuretics, anti-depression and anti-anxiety medications can be prescribed where necessary.
Whichever form of help you need to combat PMS, find it as soon as you can! Don't resign yourself to having to suffer from the symptoms PMS. There are many ways and means for you to beat it and to come out on top for those few days you may currently dread every month.
