wwwjd Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 This thread is more lighthearted, I think - for the most part. Some things can help with PMS, and we do tend to recognize it. Just feel lucky that you don't have to deal with the internal dynamics of that every month - sometimes things help, sometimes they don't. well... you ain't no GUY, but I GUESS I can talk to you about it. yeah, I would say in my old case there, I DID actually have to deal with it. Not physically, but the whole chemical imbalance thing ended up affecting me as much as it did her. I'm not running it down or anything, it's part of life. But MAN it can be CrAzY!!! getting on birth control really helped her out. itw as like a serious mental problem for a few days every month. Poor thing. I truly felt sorry for her durring all that. ok. I'm done! toss me that cigar. and speaking of wine that is not here, I'm sipping on RED ELECTRA CALIFORNIA MUSCAT right now
Anela Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 well... you ain't no GUY, but I GUESS I can talk to you about it. and thank heavens I'm not! despite the crap every month, I like being a woman. yeah, I would say in my old case there, I DID actually have to deal with it.

They're extra nice to her on those days, and they save her and themselves misery.
Anela Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 It makes me queasy. You and art reminded me of this guy. I read his book last Thanksgiving, and he talked about the rule that had him trying to avoid anywhere a menstruating woman had been seated. His wife was so offended that she sat everywhere she could think of. He got around it by buying some sort of cushion to carry around with him. 2

wwwjd Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 wow. did I REALLY kill this thread with my old PMS stories??
Anela Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I don't think you did. People just pop in and out. It's a fun thread, that's all - a nice little corner, with nice people, away from the more heated threads. 1
Anela Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 So quiet. I hope your nerves ease, cerri. Valerian has helped me, but then it can depress you after a while - not good.
johan Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 So quiet. I hope your nerves ease, cerri. Valerian has helped me, but then it can depress you after a while - not good. I get killer headaches from it.
Anela Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I get killer headaches from it. How about chamomile? It used to leave me feeling hung-over, but if I drink it when I'm anxious, it takes two mugs of it to calm me down. Flower essences sometimes help, too. I like these.
cerridwen Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 So quiet. I hope your nerves ease, cerri. Valerian has helped me, but then it can depress you after a while - not good. Thank you for thinking of me, Anela. I'm so fretful I'm willing to try new things if it means getting sleep. I'll give the chamomile another go and also that brand of flower essences for any related anxiety. I'm tired of Bach's so thank you, Bunny. Man Cave, we need to sign up for The Amazing Race. Please pair up.

cerridwen Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 iPhone? Have we been over this already? :mad: You know very well I threw my iPhone against the wall, then lost its twin in my bra. 1
Anela Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I envy anyone who sleeps deeply. I'm a really light sleeper. And then there are the times when I finally get comfortable, and one of the dogs walks up, needing help to get onto the bed. I actually whimpered back at one of them, a couple of weeks ago, hoping she'd get the hint, and just lie down on the floor. I do love them, though. They're all snuggled in now that I'm up again. 1
