You Dont Have to Suffer With PMS By: Dr. Loretta Lanphier, ND, CN, HHPWe now know that premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is experienced by 60% of all women. What causes PMS has been difficult for researchers to pin down because each woman experiences symptoms differently. PMS Symptoms When making diagnosis, most important tool you can use is a chart of cyclic nature in which they occur. If nothing is done to interrupt PMS, it often gets worse over time. You may begin by having symptoms just a few days before your period that stop abruptly as soon as your period begins. Later, symptoms gradually begin to appear one to two weeks before onset of menses. Over time, you may have only two or three days of month that are symptom-free. Eventually no discernable pattern of good days and bad days can be detected. You feel as if you have PMS all of time. There are general symptoms that have been determined that include: Abdominal bloating Abdominal cramping Accident proneness, coordination difficulties Acne, hives Aggression, rage Alcohol intolerance Anxiety, irritability, suicidal thoughts Asthma Back pain Breast swelling and pain Bruising Confusion Depression, withdrawal from others, emotional liability Edema Exacerbation of preexisting conditions (lupus, arthritis, ulcers, herpes, etc.) Fatigue, lethargy Fainting Food binges, salt cravings, sweet cravings Headache, migraine Heart palpitations Insomnia Joint swelling and pain Nausea Seizures Sex drive changes Sinus problems Sore throat Urinary difficulties Dont confuse PMS with cramps occurring at beginning of your period, which is a different condition. Chart Pattern You dont have to suffer. By keeping a chart of your symptoms, you can often begin to see a pattern emerge and predict when symptoms will start. Keeping a daily symptom journal can be a valuable tool when trying to uncover your premenstrual symptom triggers and issues associated with them. Many events and other factors can contribute to or trigger your PMS by resulting in hormonal changes in body, including: Onset of menses Perimenopause Discontinuing birth control pills Amenorrhea Childbirth, or termination of pregnancy Toxemia during pregnancy Tubal ligation Unusual trauma Decreased light associated with autumn and winter Family history of alcoholism; parent or grandparent who is an alcoholic High consumption of dairy products Excessive consumption of caffeine (soft drinks, coffee, chocolate) High blood levels of estrogen Low blood levels of progesterone, either due to lack of production or excessive breakdown Diet that leads to increased levels of hormone prostaglandin F2 Excess body weight which can increase you levels of estrogen Low levels of vitamins B, C and/or E Selenium deficiency Magnesium deficiency causing chocolate cravings
