3. It's evil and insidious.

I'm likely all done spawning and if genetics is any indication, I have 20+ more years of looking forward to anyway. Oh joy! :eyes: :banghead:

10. New Study

A study conducted at UCLA's department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of male's face a women find attractive can differ depending on where she id during her menstrual cycle. for instance, if she's ovulating she is attracted to men with rugged or masculine features.
However, if she is menstruating, or menopausal, she is more prone to be attracted to a man, with scissors lodged in his temple and a bat jammed up his ass while on fire.
No further studies are expected.

[lukasahero]

12. LOL!

I don't remember taking part in this study...

:rofl:

11. cramps

[Lavender Brown]

13. try a hot water bottle

you can get a cute cat cover for it :)

[yvr girl]

16. Aleve

and a hot bath. Magical. I practically live in the bathtub when I have my period.

[valis]

18. Have you tried super low dosage "pills" for a couple of years?

A close friend of mine had terrible cramps. She went on the pill, the lowest dosage she could find, specifically to eliminate the cramps. Two years later she stopped taking it (who wants to keep taking pills?) and now she has no cramps at all... All under medical supervision, of course...

[u4ic]

14. Evening Primrose Oil

since I started taking that stuff, my mood swings, nausea and cramps are about a quarter of what they used to be. :bounce:

on edit: my skin is also softer, too.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

15. Thanks! i was going to brew some Red Raspeberry leaf tea also

it helps in lieu of naproxen.

[u4ic]

17. I wish I knew about the EPO 20 years ago

I consumed naproxen like oxygen.

I take 2000 mg per day (2 1000 mg pills), but that's my optimum amount. You may have to play with the dosage to find out what's best for you.

Good luck! :hug:

[Steph13]

19. Yes!!!

Evening primrose oil does WONDERS for PMS!

[valis]

20. A Kick for PMS!

[progmom]

21. how sweet of you

to kick for cramps

[valis]

24. PMS is an important topic. Serious.

It's underdiscussed. I think it's a bit of a handicap for women...

[ElsewheresDaughter]

[MrSandman]

23. Tell me....

:nuke:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

25. I had two martinis and now I'm eating ice cream

[bettyellen]

Absolut currant and blackberry sorbet! :P

[bettyellen]

43. holiday weekend in the finger lakes!

very cool. you get to show the spawn his roots. i hope there's fireworks involved.

[progmom]

44. no fireworks, i think

but there is a little kids area with rides and a merry-go-round that he's mad for. i think we'll spend a good part of our time there.

[elshiva]

26. OMG! PMS HERE IS TERRIBLE!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh! :cry:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

27. i'm so cranky

i can't stand myself

[elshiva]

29. Yes, I snap at people. What pains you the most back or stomach?

Back for me! :grr:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

30. my lower back and hips

sometimes i get nausea, but generally it's an overall achey feeling...

[elshiva]

32. Yeah, everything hurts even my arms and feet, Feh!

[TimeChaser]

28. Cramps

Ugh, I get horrible cramps, I think it runs in the family.

Usually, I don't get too bitchy when I get PMS, I tend to cry a lot and get really emotional, actually. And hungry. Very hungry.

[halobeam]

33. If someone sits next to me, I freak out.

I have an "arms length" rule... no one within my reach, or theirs. OMG.. now that's bad, isn't it.
:crazy:

[Groggy]

35. makes me feel depressed

I can't think clearly and I feel fat. Other than that, its a hoot!!:crazy:

[Turn CO Blue]

42. I wish I could have 3 valiums per month to deal with it!

and I'm being serious. I get so irritable two days before, and I don't want to be like that. Everything anyone does or says gets on my nerves. Then when the menses starts, it's like someone flipped a switch; I'm back to normal, feel "relieved", and am as sweet as can be.
