How to cure PMS?

Post Reply New Topic

Without exircise, I HATE exircise.

The only way I know to cure PMS is menopause. I have been PMS free since the symptoms of menopause have subsided and I have to say I don't miss any of it at all. Matter of fact, I feel it is my reward to feel PMS and Menopause free after a lifetime of suffering.

People say we 'suffer' from autism but they have to know PMS and menopause to know what suffering is. My heart goes out to you, Fickle_Pickle.

I'm assuming the main symptoms you're referring to are sensitivity and irritability...

I don't know that there is a "cure," but there are things you can do to relieve symptoms. Yoga, of course, does involve some exercise, but I enjoy it and it is pretty effective in improving your overall well-being and reducing symptoms. I've heard meditation and breath work can also be very helpful, although I've not had the self-discipline to engage in meditation for more than a minute or two . There are also herbal and nutritional remedies - you might try checking Dr. Andrew Weil's website.

I think the best route for you depends on the nature of your symptoms and what you are willing to try, as well as how long you can wait for results. Exercise tends to be the most effective, but as you've ruled that out...

You can cure the cravings by setting aside all the things you crave ALL month long. Meat makes you crave sugar and vice versa. Cheese makes you crave more cheese. Stress fruits and vegetables in your diet and drink lots of water (NOT sugared or caffeinated stuff). And I hate to tell you, but exercise (including yoga and deep relaxation) help a lot with the irritability. Don't wait until you're premenstrual to work on making your feelings healthier -- do it daily. Exercvise, alas, is another way to do this, sorry!

Birth control pills can help, as do herbal preparations like Natrol PMS control (my favorite)

snip that uterus out

. A hysterectomy is a major operation
Complications do occur from time to time and these include:

* heavy bleeding at the time of surgery.
* following surgery, infection involving the wound or bladder (cystitis) may require antibiotic treatment.
* surgical damage to the bladder or ureters (the narrow tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder).
* an uncommon but serious complication is the development of a blood clot in the veins of the leg (venous thrombosis).

Strong painkillers are prescribed for the first few days following surgery. A woman is encouraged to be mobile within 24 hours of surgery and can expect to be eating and drinking during this time also. Most women stay in hospital for between three and five days following a routine hysterectomy.

It is advisable to plan four to six weeks of convalescence following a hysterectomy although the recovery time will vary from one woman to the next. The recovery time is longest following a radical hysterectomy.

The emotional response after a hysterectomy will vary widely from one woman to the next, often depending on the reason for the operation.

Occasionally, there will be a feeling of relief that the monthly pain and inconvenience of periods is a thing of the past with the sensation that she can now get on with her life in a more positive manner.

Women who have been diagnosed with cancer are frequently and very understandably anxious that the surgery will have been successful and may be concerned about the necessity of other forms of treatment aimed at preventing a recurrence.

For some women there is a sensation of loss, that the place where their children developed and were born from is now gone forever. They will never be able to bear children and for some women that is a bitterness they never reconcile Whatever the emotional response, it is advisable that the woman talks it over with someone in whom she can confide, whether it is a relative, her gynecologist, nurse or a friend.

I've read that vitamin B6 helps. I haven't tried it yet, but my PMS is not bad, I guess.

I'm too young for a hysterectomy.

the trick is to lie to the doc. thats how i got my vasectomy

You mean they can't prescribe you pain killers like morphine or something?

Oh and exercise will do a lot to decrease the sensativty issues with them as well as diet, mostly fruits and vegetables with meat that has omega 12. Females need more Omega 12 than guys. Other than that, you'll just to have to see a doctor and see if he/she can't prescribe you anything for the symptoms.

that is a relief!

really?

I will absolutely, NOT exercise. So, No Sale.



My doctor knows my age, so that's out. I look nowhere near the age of 30.

You literally won't exercise at all?

Um, that doesn't sound too good for yer health..

You should find a form of exercise you like, then it won't seem like this horrid chore. Maybe you'd like to learn a martial art, or some form of dance?

I know my least favorite is running! I tried martial arts, but I'd have to consider that my second least favorite.

I'm going to need that answer.
