Once or twice a year!!!!!! Good lord i get this every bloody month. It is really hard to control as my body seems to crave anything salty or sugary. It will make you feel worse though giving in to the urges.

What can you do about it? You are supposed to eat every couple of hours, stuff like rice cakes, oat cakes, fruit, stuff that is low energy release so you don't feel so starving

Oh yes I get this every month too, for about a week

I make up for it by eating super healthily the rest of the month

I try to make cakes / biscuits myslef so that at least it's not complete junk

Usually I just give in to it for a couple of days

I also get the lovely nork pain, the kind where you take your bra off and it's agony

I am trying Agnus Castus atm not sure yet whether it really is making any difference

I keep reading things about magnesium supplements as well.

noddy I have had awful pmt in the past year or so - I realised that if I gave in and stuffed my face then I was fine

I try and make sure I eat proper food too though so I don't just keep stuffing chocolcate

CountessDracula · 30/09/2008 22:20
