Book Review: Great guide to help start an understanding and useful strategies
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book years ago for myself & x-girlfriend, to help us understand & create some kind of plan for her drastically debilitating PMS. As an outsider, I'd see the changes and pains she go through and could differentiate the PMS from her (she had a hard time seeing the forest for the trees since she was in the eye of the storm).
The insight on which foods & habits (exercise) affect mood swings and cramps was a welcome realization. I could count the minutes that would follow consumption of foods like chocolate, coffee, or sweets (even strawberries) where moods would crash & burn. It was extremely difficult realizing how vulnerable she was to a biological force that would come like an unwanted guest and wreck house.
We ended up reading 4 books that gave histories, case studies of extreme PMS (which hers was), and biological & physiological assumptions & reasonings about PMS. Susan Lark's book was the best for looking at what lifestyle choices might affect PMS onsets & taking action to help minimize those. This book was a life saver, it gives you a doable plan and helps monitor daily cause and effect of any implemented changes with a 'mood calendar" which helped her realize her moods weren't her but because of the PMS and gave her the ammunition to take action.
Susan Lark had PMS supplements she had put together that used to be sold at any pharmacy chain manufactured by Squibbs. I don't know if they are still made, but I believe they helped a lot as well. I'm purchasing this book again for my younger sister who only has mild PMS, but she finds herself craving chocolates and coffee during PMS and doesn't realize she's only adding wood to the fire. Those foods are like allergies/addictions to the body that only throw it off balance.
Life is too short to not learn how to make it better, this books will help put some tools that do make it better under your belt. Good luck...
