Many treatments have been tried for easing the symptoms of PMS. However, no treatment has been found that works for everyone. A combination of lifestyle changes and other treatment may be needed. If your PMS is not so bad that you need medical help, a healthier lifestyle may help you feel better and cope with symptoms.
*Adopt a healthier way of life. Exercise regularly, get enough sleep, choose healthy foods, don't smoke, and find ways to manage stress in your life.
*Try avoiding excess salt, sugary foods, caffeine, and alcohol, especially when you are having PMS symptoms.
*Be sure that you are getting enough vitamins and minerals. Take a multivitamin every day that includes 400 micrograms of folic acid. A calcium supplement with vitamin D can help keep bones strong and may help with PMS symptoms.
*In more severe cases, drugs such as diuretics, ibuprofen, birth control pills, or antidepressants may be used.

Milk never helped me, but drinking more water during the day does. It's supposed to help with symptoms like bloating. Try drinking water instead of soda or coffee, should make you feel a little better.

the calcium in the milk is sopposed to help, i dont know if it's an old wives tale but when i was in highschool i drank a ton of milk and didnt get cramps now i dont drink it much and get them a lot. Maybe theres something to it.

Not for me...
For me chocolate helps with PMS...
But once the period is there I have to take prescription medication if I do not want to go up the walls (I take Flurbiprofen). That's my only way to go through it in peace and without any pain.

I heard it is supposed to help with cramps. That's what a lot of old people say. And old geezers are usually right.
