PMS refers to the symptoms that some girls and women get 1-14 days before their period. These symptoms are caused by changing hormone levels and may include headaches, backaches, food cravings, depression, moodiness, breast tenderness, pain in the joints, general tiredness and weight gain or a bloated feeling. Skin blemishes may also flare up. Don't worry-these are normal reactions to the hormonal changes that are going on inside you. Regular exercise, sleeping well and eating right can help control these feelings. The information being provided does not substitute for medical advice from your doctor or care giver.
