Chart your PMS symptoms and relief efforts over a three-month period to determine which lifestyle changes help you to feel more in control of your body.
To chart your signs in the most effective way, use these codes:
A = anger
AX = anxiety
B = bloating
C = crying
D = depression
F = food cravings
H = headaches
I = irritability
S = skin changes
T = tension
TI = tiredness
When tracking your symptoms, rate their severity on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most severe. You may chart symptoms not listed here as well. Then record the Lifestyle Relief Option you are using to counteract each symptom.
If you use this chart consistently, you will be able to determine which simple lifestyle changes are most effective for you.
