how to get around PMS??

girlempowerment · 06-03-2008, 11:54 AM

Mood change, thoughts of suicide, personality change, swelling, weight gain, "feel fat", want to eat junk food, the list goes on. PMS always come and stump over everything I tried so hard to build up...I want to know how other women do it. How do you deal with it to stick with your program and be able to still make progress while going through PMS and period.

I always feel there's two weeks on, two weeks off with me...two weeks I would do great, and two week I feel like crap and everything falls apart. Next month, repeat. I am sick of this cycle, could someone help me please?

Thanks

Oh damn we have another feminist, let me go get Harry this will require our attention.

PMS is caused by not respecting your man. It is a direct punishment from god for disobeying his will for you to serve your man. If you fix this it will go away.

(no serious)

The prescription is making sammiches, doing dishes, laundry and daily BJ's not lazy ones either but the good ones that take a while.(see Nori for a reference on technique.)

What does your diet look like? Sometimes what you are eating can really affect your cycle/moods, etc. I'd say if you are eating clean, taking a good multi and have cut back on caffeine and still feel bad you might want to check in with your doctor.

Are you on BC pills? Sometimes this helps too.

OP, please ignore the idiot boys in this thread. You might want to try posting in the General Chat area or maybe in Diet and Nutrition if you would like some serious answers.

And our ranks keep growing...

To the OP, diet definitely affects PMS, and there are natural supps you can take if you don't want to get on BC. Evening primrose woks for me.

FemMisc boys are not qualified to answer any questions you will ever have, by the way. They always prescribe bringing your man a sandwich.

Harry you told me to swallow and all I did was choke and gag. But hey it tastes great and it's less filling.

LOL sorry couldn't help myself

OK, seriously, try taking over the counter PMS medication. When I was on bc pills I HAD to take them or I'd bitch like hell. Premsin PMS (sp?) and Midol both helped with this greatly!!! Good luck!!!

Which part is BS, that you're not a qualified OBGYN or that you people prescribe man sandwiches for everything that ails a lady? Because I think I can prove both my accusations.

WHOA! Am I the only one to see this?

NOT a normal PMS symptom. Definitely see a doctor if this is happening.

More heavy meds than Midol for this IMO.

If you had swallowed you wouldn't need that.

THANK YOU! I was gonna say the same thing.

2 weeks on then off is not PMS its a problem. seek medical help and disregard all these fools here (which regardless of what's wrong with you is always good policy

)

Good one! I'm sure my husband will appreciate this...but I worship the ground he walks on and still freak out on him once a month.

I always notice a difference in how hard PMS hits between eating good & bad. Also took BC pills for a month to combat cysts on my ovaries and just had the worse mood swings. Sorry to see so much weird posts on this thread, but seriously hope your symptoms have gotten better.

Also look into Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder at http://pmdd.factsforhealth.org

Following excerpt taken from this website:
"Do you have unpleasant, disturbing emotional and physical symptoms before your monthly menstrual periods? Do these symptoms disrupt your life and interfere with your usual activities and your relationships with others? Do the symptoms go away when your flow begins or shortly thereafter, only to return before your next period? If this description sounds like you, you may have a condition known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder or PMDD."

PMS is no excuse for suicidal thoughts and 2 weeks on 2 weeks off sounds more like depression than anything else.

PMS is NOT a state of existing, its a state of mind, and while i do recognize MILD changes...i don't buy most of the PMS stuff...
