Pms
Anyone know any good remedies that make you happy for an overworked, PMS-suffering gal?
chocolate and a punch bag.
edit: or the pill can help, regular exercise, Chaste Tree Berry herb, evening primrose oil, Dietary Suggestions:
Reduce sugar and salt intake.
Increase foods rich in potassium, such as fish, beans, and broccoli.
Eat small, frequent meals to help stabilize blood sugar.
Eliminate caffeine, which can aggravate anxiety, depression, and breast tenderness.
Increase intake of fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, and fish.
Avoid alcohol.
Decrease intake of fatty foods and red meat.
just google for a few more...

sounds simple.. but good nights sleep always helps me feel better.
..as well as the standard chocolate fix
..as well as the standard chocolate fix
Red wine really made me feel better, though I've only attempted that as a remedy once. (I'll need to do more experiments, oh poor me :P) So does some chocolate (either quite dark or very creamy milk) and nice, soothing cups of tea 
Those ought to be bad for you, because of the caffeine, but the good parts make it better. It's mostly mental for me, with some (weird) cravings. I do get very bad pain, and often I feel like I have flu and am bedridden right before and at the start of my period, but those are either easily medicated or slept away :P
A nice warm bath or shower is helpful! Or a walk, or actual exercise if that's more your thing, for the endorphins. I believe bananas are good for this, too I second the recommendation for a good night's sleep, because that cures pretty much anything

a warm bath or a hot water bottle used to help me a lot =]
would also help de-stress you after a hard day!

From Wikipedia
Many treatments have been suggested for PMS, including diet or lifestyle changes, and other supportive means. Medical interventions are primarily concerned with hormonal intervention and use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
* Supportive therapy includes evaluation, reassurance, and informational counseling, and is an important part of therapy in an attempt to help the patient regain control over her life. In addition, aerobic exercise has been found in some studies to be helpful.[2] Some PMS symptoms may be relieved by leading a healthy lifestyle: Reduction of caffeine, sugar, and sodium intake and increase of fiber, and adequate rest and sleep.[10]
* Dietary intervention studies indicate that calcium supplementation (1200 mg/d) may be useful. Also vitamin E (400 IU/d) has shown some effectiveness.[2] A number of other treatments have been suggested, even though there is not convincing research evidence that these treatments work: Vitamin B6, magnesium, manganese and tryptophan.[10]
* SSRIs have become the "initial drug of choice for severe PMS"[2] The drug most widely studied is fluoxetine at doses of 20-60 mg/d. Other drugs include sertraline, paroxetine, clomipramine, fluvoxamine, and nefadozone.[11] These drugs can also be given intermittently, that is when symptoms reappear.
* Hormonal intervention may take many forms:
o Hormonal contraception is commonly used; common forms include the combined oral contraceptive pill and the contraceptive patch.
o Progesterone support has been used for many years but evidence of its efficacy is inadequate.
o Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists can be useful in severe forms of PMS but have their own set of significant potential side effects.
* Diuretics have been used to handle water retention. Spironolactone has been shown in some studies to be useful.[2]
* Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs; eg ibuprofen) have been used.
* Evening Primrose Oil, which contains gamma-Linolenic acid (GLA), has been advocated but lacks scientific support
