Premenstrual Syndrome or Premenstrual Tension is a group of physical and psychological symptoms that occur two to 14 days before your period begins and decrease or disappear in the first two days of your period.

Around 90 per cent of menstruating women get advance warning of an approaching period because of these physical and/or psychological changes in the days before their period begins and for most women the symptoms are mild, but a small proportion find their symptoms so severe they dread this time of the month. The symptoms are not the same for every woman and they can vary from month to month in severity.

The physical symptoms are very problematic, including headaches and hearth palpitations. You may experience uncomfortable hot flashes and fatigue. Tenderness in the breasts and weight gain are unpleasant symptoms and stomach and back pain often occur.

The emotional symptoms are miserable. Irritability is so bad that you feel like crawling out of your own skin. Your mood can change dramatically from one moment to the next. Anxiousness and feelings of great stress are problematic symptoms and in extreme cases, you may have depression during this time.

I will teach you tools you can use to help alleviate these PMT symptoms because I believe the more tools you have the more confident and in-control you will feel because now you have more choices.
