 | | PMT A: anxiety, irritability and mood swings PMT B: weight gain, swelling of the extremities, breast tenderness and abdominal bloating PMT C: headache, craving for sweets, increased appetite, heart pounding, fatigue and dizziness or fainting PMT D: depression, forgetfulness, crying, confusion and insomnia. |
 | | Young women and girls in their teens appear to suffer more from painful periods which often improve as they get older, only to be replaced in many cases by the onset of premenstrual symptoms. |
 | | This also applies to fat consumption, because research reveals that PMT sufferers cannot efficiently metabolise the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid, which is mainly found in good-quality vegetable oils. |
