Can I moan at you all for awhile?
AAAAAAArrrrrrghhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuh.
Bloated, cramps, etc. etc.
Such a beautiful Saturday and I feel like a rodent of unusual size (can't believe someone doesn't KNOW that!!)

Someone call the whaaaaaaambulance..LOL.

1. Here is my advice (if you can do it):
Chocolate ice cream or pudding (chocolate frozen yogurt is the best) followed immediately by 2 Motrin IB. It's what got me through before I finally got a hysterectomy. Hope you feel better soon. :hug:

7. No... wine isn't bad ;)
Just don't take Motrin in the same day. I learned that the hard way. Actually made a promise to God about that one. ;-)

8. Do you have some B6?
Wine will help for now, but make things worse later. B6 will help as well as some Calcium.

15. Evening Primrose Oil, too -
that was an absolute must for me.

Wait - did I say WAS - I forgot - I'm back to being "PERI-menopausal" after TWO FRICKIN' YEARS of being POST-Menopausal. :banghead:

19. See,
the primrose and the vitex actually gave me problems..my body is not 'ready' for them yet.
I'm def. going to try the Vit. E and the others she suggested. FFS, I'm only (about to be) 36.
Heh.

Side note..goddess, was my mother a PAIN when she was menopausal. I hope I can rein myself in a bit, but I may just have to let my Leo out and roar.

3. Sorry dear girl.
A hot bath does wonders. If you start taking Vitamin E now, your next episode will be better, though it can cause a delay, so be aware. :hug:

5. Moan and groan all you want - everytime
I pass that certain aisle in a store - I do a dance. Those days are gone for me. Try a heating pad.

That's what I've been told happens that time of the month.

16. Get plastered and break out the heating pad and pain pills.
Edited on Sat Jun-06-09 02:16 PM by Jamastiene
Damn the rules. Let the naysayers say nay and ignore their spoiled rotten pain free asses. They have no idea what pain even is. Especially ignore the ones that say "Take a Midol." I want to deck them, sucker punch them, and/or drop kick them (or kick them in the balls when they have 'em) when they say some insulting shit like "Take some Midol." Fuck those assholes....hard...sideways....with something rough. They don't know how dangerously close to death they are coming if they try that shit with me.

Damn the Midol company too while I am at it. They can shove millions of those insulting placebos up their fucking asses. That "medicine" is a fucking joke. I should be on a watch list for the Midol company. I'll own that right up front. If I ever happen to find their plant, they should lock the fucking doors. There is no excuse we should have to suffer with bullshit insulting "medicine" like Midol when we have to go through such debilitating symptoms every single fucking month. Fuck them and their insults.

Take the strongest thing you can get your hands on. Take 2 at least. We should buy a gun and shoot at the whaaaaaaambulance claimers ( I call dibs on their toes)...it'll be fun. I want an Uzi. Damn the rules.

Just find a way to feel better. Get tipsy if you have to. Give "the look" to anyone who tries to say anything to you too. That always shuts them up really quick...the ones who know me, that is. :evilgrin: That is what I always do. Otherwise, the world would be in grave danger. :hug:

17. Jamastiene! You are funny, but seriously...
Vitamin E! Helps with those awful cramps, as does Calcium, especially if you have fibroids.

21. Oh, don't ask.
I'm trying not to whine and complain and not succeeding.
It honestly was one of the worst weeks we've had in awhile, but I'm over it.
We had 17 dollars to our name a few days ago. Blessed husband has treked his self to WV to work and now we can pay a bill or two..it's a day to day affair. I've given up being stressed about it and am having some wine with my whine, lol.
I know I should really shut up, people have it a lot worse than I do. Time to buck up, yanno?

ATM I'm actually feeling as if things will turn around, and I'm just going to go with that for awhile. I'm bouncing off the walls because I really can't go anywhere until he gets home tommorrow. :)

Sorry for the bitching and thanks for noticing. :hug:
