>My 20 year old college daughter is having mega bouts of PMS -- a week before
>her period, and now into her period.  I've suggested Primrose Oil -- any
other
>suggestions?

My daughters found that a calcium/magnesium supplement from mid-cycle
through the first few days of the period helped with their PM symptoms.
They took an additional 750-1000 mg of calcium with the accompanying
magnesium of 375-500. They played around with it until they found the
amount that was right for each of them.

>To make this bf related --

And when they are breastfeeding, they can continue the supplementation so
that they don't experience a drop in milk supply accompanying their menses.
