Why do woman REALLY REALLY suffer from PMS, and is it real or just in the mind?

Answer 1

Yes it is REAL. I always hear about men in the past saying women are crazy and all that well you try having the week before your period where you start feeling shi tty and you start having your hormones go nuts, then the week of your period you are bleeding and you have cramps so bad it feels like someone has a knife and they are twisting it into your stomach and lower regions, you are miserable, you get bloated so then you feel and look bad, you are on a emotional roller coaster and watching a stupid tv show will make you burst into tears..not to mention hello you are bleeding so you have to check to make sure your "ok" down there like hundred times a day, and then the week after you need to recover from the week of your period.. so ok 3 weeks out of the month we are going through it, so no we are not Crazy ! PMS is Very Very REAL!

Answer 2

Most of it is probably in the mind, but I think that the "symptoms" can generate from just the influence society sets of it, saying that PMS is so bad and that every little mood swing in a woman is probably related to it. I think the impression of what people say can actually generate some of what women "suffer" but I don't think it comes from PMS itself.

Answer 3

i can garentee you its real! my mood changes are due to the terrible cramps i get. it's horrible to be in such pain for a week and it does shorten your temper by about 99%! don't underestimate the power of PMS - many have, few survived!
