Unhappy How to ease PMS please?

My period is due next week and as usual I am dreading it. I'm sure most, if not all, ladies of his board suffer from some symptoms of PMS, but mine seem to be ten times worse than my female friends. I have severe stomach craps the entire week leading up to my period, very obvious water retention, acne, sore breasts, headaches, backaches and what else have I missed? I am also very depressed, irritable and emotional. I've seen countless doctors about it but was always sent away with ordinary painkillers. I'm sure diet can ease my awful symptoms. Can anyone kindly tell me what foods I should eat or avoid before and during my period please? I can't stand this anymore..

Try a b complex vitamin. It really works!! I take B100 complex every day and I have really noticed a difference. Are you on the birth control pill and do you exercise at least 3x a week?

Re: How to ease PMS please?

Personally I’d be going to a new doctors, if you are having those sorts of problems then you shouldn’t just be sent home with painkillers, they should be finding out why you are having those problems.

Are you on hormonal birth control? Or any other sort of medication like perhaps ant-depressants?
If so I’d be looking to change that for a start.

A few period pain/bloating ideas;
Avoid salty foods.
Avoid alcohol.
Avoid dairy.
Avoid caffeine.
Avoid anything that will increase your gas like carbonated drinks.
Drink lots of water, try adding lemon juice, a natural diuretic.
Healthy diet, increase fresh, raw vegetables.
Consume twice as much magnesium as calcium. Calcium contracts muscles, magnesium relaxes them.
Try herbal teas, such as the following; lemon balm, black haw, blessed thistle, camomile, blue cohosh, dong quai, wild marjoram, red raspberry, wild strawberry, valerian, yarrow and raspberry leaf.
Relaxation such as with use of aromatherapy, breathing exercises or a nice hot bath.
Avoid using tampons, if internal menstrual product users consider switching to menstrual cups.

Some of those are pretty obvious, but you never know there may be seomthing useful amongst that lot for you. General good health and vaginal health does make on hell of a differance, perhaps next doctors visit you should discuss that with him/her, or look online for information as to why you are having these problems and what to do about them.
