How I Cured My PMS Naturally

For as long as I can remember, I have suffered from PMS (premenstrual syndrome). I was also
diagnosed with depression at the age of twelve. I suffered for
many years, month in and month out. Not only did I suffer, but
my family also suffered along with For years, I didn’t know what
was wrong with me. I had extreme emotional unbalance for 2 weeks
out of every month. Gradually, as the years went on, my PMS
seemed to get worse.

To be honest, I didn’t really know I had PMS; even the doctors I
saw apparently couldn’t come to an agreement on my diagnoses
either. As I said earlier, I was diagnosed with clinical
depression at the tender age of twelve. However, when I think
back, that was just after I began menstruating. But the
so-called experts thought it was simply depression, and so began
the years of drugs. Or, sorry, I mean medical treatment.

I was first put on the birth control pill at age twelve, for
medical reasons, to be sure. This was supposed to “cure” my
depression. What were they thinking? Needless to say, what I now
know to be PMS was not at all “cured” by the drugs. When this
form of treatment failed to improve my emotional well being, I
was placed on an anti-depressant. That was actually the first of
nearly twenty types of anti-depressants I would take over a
course of fifteen years. How sad!

Some of the medication worked better than others. Although, I
was not ever taking one single medication for very long. My
doctors just couldn’t seem to make up there minds. One month one
type of drug offered promised relief, the next month, there was
another theory about another drug. I was even placed on
tranquilizers, which just put me to sleep.

Finally, after my second child, my PMS became so unbearable. My
symptoms would begin the day after I ovulated, and last 2 weeks,
until menstruation began. I was living a nightmare, and so were
my family. I attempted to go back to college 3 times over a
period of 3 years, however, as soon as the symptoms started, I
just couldn’t cope.

For 2 full weeks, it took all my strength just to get out of bed
in the morning. The afternoons were no better, as I seemed to
just sleep the day away. I hated everyone. All I wanted to do
was be alone, and sleep. But I couldn’t be alone; I had 2
children to take care of. Two children whom I love and adore,
but during these trying times, I almost could not stand having
them. I had absolutely no patience for them, and I hated myself
for it.

During these years, I continued to see doctors, hoping to find
my cure. I was even diagnosed with bi polar disorder by a
psychiatrist. What a joke that was. He put me on some
psychiatric drug that turned me into a zombie. I lasted 2 days
on it, and never took it again. I also consulted another
psychiatrist during this time. He never really gave me
diagnoses, just lots of different pills. One pill for depression, which seemed to work, but took away my
libido. So to offset it, he gave me another pill to bring back
my libido. But this new pill also gave me insomnia, so I got a sleeping pill. I
think I lasted 2 or 3 months like this, before I couldn’t stand
taking all those pills any more.

Next, I tried it on my own, no meds at all. I was still in my
nightmare. This lasted at least a year. I would call my husband
home from work just to watch the kids, because all I could do
was cry. We couldn’t take the suffering anymore. It had to end!
So back to the doctor I went.

When I left the office, I was devastated. Not only did I have a
new prescription, but I also had a new diagnosis, PMDD, or
premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Like all good little patients,
I began my new drugs. Every 6 months or so, the pills would seem
to stop working. So, my doctor would continue to increase them.
I let this carry on for almost 2 years, before I realized, not
only was my “PMDD” back, but I had acne that was worse than
anything I had ever had as a teenager, I had zero libido, I was
tired all month long now, and I had gained nearly twenty pounds,
and had a yeast infection which no drug could eliminate.

I began doing some research for a website All Natural
Health Remedies. I had never really believed in natural
cures. I thought, if it was so easy to treat health conditions,
why was anyone sick? The thought just seemed to good to be true.
However, the more I read, the more it made sense!

First, I stopped eating meat. My intention was to buy organic
meat, as it doesn’t contain all the extra hormones injected into
our regular food supply. However, I never made it to the
organics store on time. One night, I was just repulsed by what
sat on my plate. I thought it was strange, so I cooked another
meal the next night, and again, I just could not eat the meat.
Maybe it was that during all my research, I found out just what
goes into our meat supply. Regardless, I instantly became a
vegetarian.

Next, I knew my body was full of toxins, after years of taking
pills, and ingesting hormones, not to mention everything else. I
purchased a colon cleanse, and immediately began the regime, as
well as drinking 6 cups of water per day. My acne instantly
cleared up! However, after all the research I had performed on
toxins in our bodies, I was not surprised. As for the PMS, or
PMDD, I was only 2 weeks into a cycle, so time would only tell.

I also purchased a high potency vitamin b complex, as the b
vitamins are required for optimal nervous system functioning,
energy production, and to stave off depression and anxiety.
Along with the B complex, I began taking a coral calcium
supplement as well, since I had learned that a calcium
deficiency could mask itself as PMS.

Within one month, I had successfully eliminated all of my
symptoms. I had, and still have more energy than I could have
ever imagined. I enjoy my husband, and my children again. No
more do I dread getting out of bed to face the day. My life has
taken on new meaning, and I hope to share my success story with
as many people as possible. PMS can successfully be treated
naturally.
