I drink milk. It helps. I’ve been having PMS for the past few days and I realized I forgot to drink milk for 2 weeks. I drank last night, went to bed, and feel much better.

The calcium in the milk helps. I wrote something about this earlier here if you’re interested. http://www.vivawoman.net/2006/11/02/milk-reduces-pms-symptoms/

All EPO’s pretty much do the same thing IMO. It’s all about marketing sometimes.

For peace of mind, Nature’s Way, Nature’s Own, and Bioglan are pretty good. Of course, the well-known one being Blackmores.

Sorry, I’m not very familiar with local brands, but they should all do the job. 🙂

I’m assuming you’re referring to the irritability and depression associated with PMS?

The most common treatment is of course still oral contraceptive pills to regulate your hormones. Studies have also been done to show that a short course of antidepressants right before that month of the month is indeed very effective.

Both treatments mentioned above are widely recommended by doctors in Australia. Not too sure about Msia though.

Otherwise, try taking evening primrose oil (EPO), which a lot of people find helpful in alleviating symptoms of PMS.

Hope you feel better soon. 🙂

Hmm I don’t know whether to agree or disagree with Cass. She’s right that if you take the oral contraceptive pill now, you could delay your period from coming. But then it will screw up the next few cycles.

Hot water bottle and chocolates 🙂
