When I talk to women about PMS, one of the major concerns that I have is how younger women and teenage girls are learning about PMS. Mostly, this concerns me because if we are not talking about PMS, then we are passing on the legacy of PMS as a taboo subject. Granted, almost every mother gives the basic talk with her sex and pregnacy talk that includes the statement “you can come to me about anything,” but are we really encouraging young girls and teenage girls to discuss the topics around PMS?

My fear is that we are not! Why?

Sometimes, that trip to the drugstore can save you tons of sleep…and if might save you some tense moments during your next mood swing. Plus, it gives you an excuse to pick up some ice cream, but that is another PMS symptom!

Several of these PMS symptoms can be easily addressed by the following methods:

No matter what PMS symptoms you are experiencing….dont let them stress you out!
