pms

Yes i still get PMS and it's really not all that bad. being on birth control it really helps control it but for the mood swings the pill doesn't seem to help. I do get tired and always want to sleep but i always push myself so that i am not sleeping all the time.. Yes for some reason omg this is going to be strange but i crave French toast (even when i was pregnant i did) and no the my husband is still right there wanting something... lol

Oh sweetie do I ever get PMS! I have every symptom you can think of. I think I have even created a few new ones, LOL. I have had it since I was 12 years old and each month it's different and unpredictable. I do nothing for it but endure my way past it. I use to take antidepressants but the side effects were worse than the PMS. So now I just go at it al-natural and suffer.

I crave chocolate in the worst way. I could eat anything and everything in the house but if it isn't chocolate I keep eating so I figure it's best to just have a bar and be done with it. I get wicked back cramps - to the point where I scream. Sometimes I take the over the counter meds for the pain and cramps but most of the time they can't even touch most of the symptoms.

I had PMDD, the uber-form of PMS, so badly I had my ovaries removed two years ago to stop it. Homicidal eruptions of rage, crying jags, binge eating, extreme water retention, all followed by two weeks of stop-in-my-tracks-and-double-over cramps and five days of bleeding heavy enough to require me to wear Depends with a maxi-pad inside them - and I STILL leaked through it! It took 15 years to find a doctor who was willing to help me. Everyone else was too busy worrying about preserving the fertility I had firmly decided NOT to take advantage of when I was 11 years old. May the others rot in hell as penance for wasting half my adult life on something so easily resolved.
