hormone changes

Many women get depressed, irritated, angry, and others cry more than usual or get cravings for certain foods. PMS may be related to changes in hormones. Hormone levels rise and fall during a menstrual cycle, affecting the way a female feels both mentally and physically.

It's all about those darned hormones. Hormonal changes can cause many things, including the ones you mentioned. They can also cause bloating, headaches and mood swings. Some tips I've learned over the years are to cut down on caffeine, sugar, and salt; eat healthy balanced diet and exercise. Sure helps with my PMS. It's not as severe as when I don't do this.

Well when the devil comes to visit and makes my life a living hell, I take what ever is near me to ease my pain, but of course it doesn't help. I get the worst of the worst to the point where I'm in bed for 3 days, I'd get so tired and sick. Finally went to the docs turns out I'm slightly anemic so that alone would make all of the b.s symptoms worse, but I agree hormones are to blame for us girls going crazy on people.

Because it is a loss of blood...loosing that much blood (some women loose a pint or more) makes one tired and lazy. As for the cravings it is because your body is missing something it needs...My daughter used to crave tomato sauce...not ON anything...just tomato sauce. I used to crave potato salad.

You need some vitamins try more calcium and b vitamins. Usually if you are experiencing all of these changes it's because your body is lacking some important nutrients. It's not going to get better with age either it gets worst unless you fix the problem you need those vitamins to help with those hormones.

I wonder if it is not a self-fullfilling prophecy. I.E. we know our period is coming, therefore on some level we know it is socially acceptable to act like that and eat what we want. It is an excuse no sane man would argue with ;-)
No where are those damn cookies.

When I use to come on my period, it felt like someone was sticking needles in my nipples, NO JOKE. They would be very sore. I also had terrible headache. I went to the doctor and they put me on estrogen. I feel much better!
