A client states, “I’m sure that I am suffering from PMS. How can I get my doctor to take this seriously?” The nurse’s best response is:
a.   “You are probably right. You should remind your doctor of your symptoms every time you visit.”
b.   “Since you feel certain you are right, you should just treat yourself with over-the-counter medications.”
c.   “Men are not usually sympathetic to PMS sufferers.”
d.   “You should keep a daily record of the occurrence and severity of your symptoms for 3 months.”

If there are no physical findings and your laboratory test results are normal, then your doctor may ask you to keep a daily record of your PMS symptoms. You will do this for two or three months. This record will include:

Type of symptoms
Severity of symptoms
Timing of your menstrual periods
A description of any special stresses that have affected your life

Once this record is complete, your doctor will review the information. If your symptoms follow a pattern that is consistent with PMS, then this will help to establish the diagnosis.
