I have pms a couple days before my cycle also. The only thing that has really helped me is hot tea and honey. My pms has gotten a little bit better with my anitdepressant. I do know that some women take midol, and they say that it helps them. When mine comes for some reason I just get so thursty. I'm constantly drinking water.Sometimes mine gets so bad that I can't stand anyone around me. I tell my bf that I feel like a baloon that needs to pop. Have you tried advil or something like that if you get sore with the pms? I get that way too.
