pms and snappiness - wwyd?

[booboo]

I've been really snapping at the kids all week. I thought maybe it was because I didn't have my Ruffles (pms craving) but we got it the other night and still... :mad a lot. And being petty too! Yesterday was the exception because my dh's schedule was different for a day but still I'm just :banghead :glare Not very friendly to be around..

How do you handle pms mood swings? :shrug

Take some Evening Primerose oil and extra b and some cod liver oil or other fish oil. it will help.

I was just talking to a girlfriend the other night about that! Here's what I would suggest:
eat complex carbs, fiber, and protein
avoid salt, caffeine, & alcohol
get plenty of sleep
exercise
eat small meals throughout the day

(((hugs)))
I might even add: Remind yourself that this is temporary! lol

Thanks to the both of you! :rockon

avoid salt, caffeine, & alcohol



I would add sugar to that list

[cobluegirl]

Potatoes NOT Prozac talks about this...

I can live with potatoes, but not without coffee! Aunt Flo came on Saturday and now I'm dragging tired all the time. :yawn

try cutting back with half/caff coffee... Coffee is my vice..but it can make me really ragey..so I have cut way back.
