How do you control your PMS??????!
Question: I have terrible PMS each month. I gain 5 lbs, awful cramps, retain water, super cranky, sore breasts......pretty much every classic symptom for a week every month. What can I do to control it?? I used to have bad PMS in high school but it went away until about 7 months ago. I'm 25 now, and just had two babies back to back. My youngest is 7 months and ever since she was born my hormones have been really out of control and my PMS is worse than ever. I've also been breastfeeding for the last 2 1/2 years if that has anything to do with it. What is going on??

I hear ya! I've got the same issues as well. Maybe you can talk to your doctor about things you can do. Maybe she can suggest something to keep it under control.
One tip I've learned -- a couple days before you get your period start taking some tylenol/advil to help with tender breasts and cramps. That way the medicine is already in your system before the cramps start.
Good luck.
Hi Sweetie,
If r not still breast feeding, take "Midol" bfore r period comes, this eases the the blow & r hormones. See r Dr about this, as it sounds kinda serious with a baby to tend to as well. Perhaps he can reccomend some hormone replacements r lacking estrogen. lol
LOL, Diana D
PS U can't go on like this!!!
You're just emotional; it's natural. Maybe try going on the pill to stabilize your hormones, and some pills can even help slightly with moodiness.
I would try midol!
