The Trials and Tribulations of PMS
|
|
...and why you don't have to suffer! PMS (Premenstrual syndrome) and its severe cousin, PMDD (Premenstrual dysphoric disorder) affect many menstruating women every month. No one knows for sure how many women have PMS, but I'm willing to bet everyone reading this article has been affected personally-either by your own experience, or that of a friend, spouse, or coworker. What is PMS?There are over 200 symptoms associated with PMS, ranging from physical symptoms to out-of-control mood swings. The most common symptoms are bloating, headaches, food cravings (CHOCOLATE!), uterine cramps, headaches, breast tenderness, mood swings, irritability, and depression. To be considered PMS, these symptoms get worse the week or two before your period, and improve soon after you start menstruating. Did you know you don't have to feel so badly?What so many women (and their loved ones) don't realize is that PMS is not something to just suffer through, month after month. Trust me-I know this from personal experience. To learn more about the causes of PMS and simple strategies you can do at home, read on. |

Dr. Eric recently went through the Lewis Family Natural Health 10-day detoxification program, and he has written about his experience for this month's newsletter. If you've ever wondered if your doctor is human...read on!
