Previous Story PMS Escape Jackie Fobar-PMS Sufferer-"I was really dizzy, disoriented and got a lot of headaches and moodswings." Eight out of ten American women suffer from varying degrees of pre-menstrual syndrome... for Jackie Fobar the symptoms became more difficult to deal with. Jackie Fobar-"I knew it was PMS.. I suffered from irritability.. and dizziness is a new symptom for me." Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice/Henry Ford Endocrinologist-"For some women it can be very serious." Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice typically treats women with hormonal disturbances.. Day one is the first day of your menstrual flow.. most women will remain symptom free between day 4 and 12.. PMS symptoms usually appear between day 14 and 28 or two weeks before a period. Symptoms like mood sings, appetite changes and loss of concentration occur due to a drop in a brain chemical called Seratonin. Dr. Rice prescribes a product called PMS Escape. The powdered supplement is a mixture of carbohydrates and chemicals. In a double blind study, MIT researchers proved the product raises Seratonin levels and relieves PMS Symptoms almost immediately. Dr. Rice-"Some women noted that they saw improvements within 30 minutes." Jackie Fobar-"It takes away the fatigue and the irritability." Jackie keeps a supply in her desk drawer and drinks it whenever she needs to. Doctors say the carbo load which comes from drinking a glass of PMS Escape is similar to eating a baked potato. Denise-"You can achieve the same goal, overall health." But Jackie says she prefers the convenience of a powdered drink. Jackie Fobar-"I would drink it once a day, having a bad day, two glasses that day." . Home | Upcoming Stories | Previous Stories |Survey | About Healthy Living | E-Mail
