* Discuss your situation with your physician. Work together to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Follow it!
* If you smoke, quit.
* Practice stress management: many of the symptoms of PMS are unpredictable and emotionally draining. This can be very stressful and can exacerbate your condition. Especially for those who are prone to Adrenal Issues which increase PMS symptoms.
* Regular exercise may reduce your risk of PMS altogether; exercising once you have symptoms (even though you may not feel like it) will reduce the symptoms you experience for that cycle; reduces stress and tension.
* Take a daily, non-prescription multi-vitamin; discuss any other supplement needs with your physician. There are a variety of natural supplements that are highly effective in reducing PMS symptoms especially if chosen specifically for your body!
* Be sure to get an adequate daily intake of calcium (1,200 mg/day), Magnesium (400mg), and Vitamin D3 (2000 IU).
* Additional magnesium, vitamins E and B6, and carbohydrate supplements might also be helpful.
* Eat a well balanced diet; don’t skip meals.
* Reduce intake of caffeine, alcohol, refined sugar/sweets, salt, red meats, fatty foods.
* Enlist the support and understanding of friends and loved ones. Ask for understanding and help with tasks in advance to reduce stress and pressure
* Try to get regular, sufficient sleep.
* eat several small meals a day to minimize blood sugar fluctuations.
* increase time for activities that bring enjoyment
* Use a natural progesterone cream to balance out your hormones (talk with your health care provider about naturally balancing out your hormones).
