I agree it is rude when they get bigger and tender. Vitamin b supplementation has made a great difference in both menstrual health and energy.

You are a big big saviour.. Since the beginning of this year i started noticing excessive breast pain and tenderness but didn't know that it could be sign of pms as the pain was extremely sharp shooting. I visited my gynaec back then and she prescribed me with vit d3 and vit e and i was all normal. She had also suggested me a mammogram because the pain was too much. Recently, again I've been experiencing pain with a lumpy feeling but this time i noticed my periods were near but still being doubtful I visited a cardiac speacialist only to confirm that it was a mascular pain.... So yeah ladies... PMS hurts really bad.. and i am so grateful now to find this video and confirm that this is caused due to nothing but pms and I'll be following the tips shared in this video and lets hope that the pain surpasses!!! Thanks a ton

[@katiewinkler8503]

Ok, Iodine does protect against Breast Cancer, I have some Lugols solution, I just can't get past the taste. Probably should have started taking it a year ago though, better late than never!
