It is caused by your hormones which can fluctuate during the month. Spike up, then down, then up again. There are Over the Counter medications for this, but I can't verify that they work. I am all about natural remedies. I would recommend that you take Oil of Evening Primrose. It will help with many PMS symptoms, and even helps with cramps. (if you get them) Take one a day, every day of the month, even when you don't have your period and whether or not you feel good. It is an all natural product. For more info and remedies you can go to www.earthclinc.com And look up your symptoms, PMS, what ever you like and you will find natural remedies that worked for other people.
Oh, I have been taking Oil of Evening Primrose for 20 years. And when I went through menopause, I never ever noticed a difference and I never ever had a hot flash. So tell your mom about it too. It can help her. It is good for your skin and hair too.
