Relief from PMS?

[Freshie]

Could someone please give me some hope that the PMS symptoms of cooked food cravings, weepiness and desires to bite people's heads off will be relieved when I go 100% raw? :o

Well, I still have weepy moments:p , but the angry PMS goes away. :D I'm much more easy going when I'm raw.
Another bonus is that my periods went from 7-10 days..no lie:eek: down to 5. I'm always surprised when it starts to slow down around the third day.

Thanks for the hope Shel! The angriness is the worst part for me. If I cry and eat pizza, oh well, but when I'm a b!tch to my kids and DH, that's what really gets me. :(

Your PMS symptoms will definately get better or disappear entirely, especially if you incorporate more flaxseed oil into your daily diet. This beautiful oil has worked wonders for me!!!!!! I still get a little cranky, but not so much that I want to rip off anyone's head anymore. lol. Best wishes, Crystal.

I've only had my second period since going raw, but it lasted 2 days instead of the usual 5. As far as PMS goes, I usually get very bloated and go up five pounds on the scale. Not this time. My weight stayed stable through PMS and I didn't feel puffy. I haven't noticed any emotional changes yet, but hopefully that will come in time. Fortunately I never get angry during PMS, just really really depressed and I cry easily.
