She uses Depo, so I don't think that this would help, but if she's not on hormonal birth control, she can try applying a natural progesterone cream that she can get in most pharmacies [called menocream] to her inner forearms once a day from day 12-26 of her menstrual cycle [day 1 being the first day of her period]. She should rub the cream into her forearm using the inside of the other forearm, she shouldn't use her fingers to rub the cream in because the skin on the fingertips is too thick for the cream to absorb through. There is a pretty well accepted theory that PMS is caused by a deficiency in progesterone right before menstruation, so this would help that. She won't see an improvement until maybe 2 or 3 months into the treatment, but it's something to try if she doesn't want to go on heavy medication. This progesterone cream doesn't increase her chances of cancer because it is a natural cream, as opposed to conventional therapies which contain synthetic hormones. For more information on bioidentical hormones in general, go to www.womeninbalance.org (http://www.womeninbalance.org), or do a google search for menocream or bioidentical hormones. They're usually used for menopausal women, but I've seen them used for PMS as well.
