Howdy,

Someone posted this last week about being tired and "blah" during and before "that time of the month." I asked two different people yesterday and got two totally different answers but both make a lot of sense. First of all, for the "blah" and cravings problem a lady nurse suggested dark chocolate. There is something in it that helps with the blah feelings and mood swings. It is also healthy to eat dark chocolate!

For the tired feelings another person suggested foods hi in iron.

I promised to post. I hope this helps. It sure will help me.

Have a blessed weekend. :heart:

    LOL!!!

    My doctor recommended taking 5-HTP to help control my appetite during PMS and TOM. It's sold over the counter in drug stores.
