2. Evening Primrose Oil

reduced mine about 85%.

[auntAgonist]

24. absolutely evening primrose oil!

It is so good for a lot of things, definitely helps with PMS. If you find it to be a bit too expensive, try Blackcurrent seed oil capsules. They work too.

:hi: u4ic :loveya:

27. Hi auntieA!!

:loveya: :hug:

I don't know about there, but here blackcurrant capsules cost even more than EPO. They're also more difficult to find. :hi:

3. Hysterectomy?.....

29. Worked for Miz t.

4. I f'n hope so!

One of my best friends just exploded with anger at me like a week ago for like no reason! It took her a few days to say, "Sorry, it was the day before my period and I was in a crazy mood." :crazy:

5. umm...hmm...not that I know of...nt

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Don't we all wish?

PMS sucks big time.

:hug:

[NMMNG]

7. Yes. Menopause.

:P

[LaurenG]

19. Exactly however

then the real fun often begins. Not only are you moody you get your own heating system to make your mood even crispier. :rofl:

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. Which is PMS on steroids! nt

8. I have an Asian ex-girlfriend

Who swore her PMS was not as bad as other girls' because she ate loads of soy.

[ForrestGump]

14. There's something about soy

I swear...seem to recall it in connection with estrogen levels, and maybe in concert with (or antagonaistic to) the effects of wild yam extract in regulating everything.

Soy rings a very loud bell here, somehow...wish I could remember in what context. Something to do with perimenopause?

9. Interesting facfoid: Men are on similar 4 week cycles

Men typically endure the same psychological symptoms and mood swings as women, and on a similar cycle unrelated to menstration.

Another interesting fact:
PMS only occurs before actual flow. That's why it's called PRE-menstral syndrome. If you're bitchy afterwards, you have no excuse: you're just bitchy and looking for an excuse.

It's called "science."

Flame away if you want to; thread is flame bait anyway.

[TimeChaser]

12. Oh, we do have an excuse

While most of the emotional issues happen in the days before the period starts, myself and a lot of other girls I know get cramps the whole week. x(

[ForrestGump]

17. On the bright side, even if I have my own 28-day cycle, I don't have

Peemis Envy. :P

P.M.S. is not something I'd envy. Fear, yes...

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

13. This thread is not flame bait.

It was just a funny question about the mood I was feeling. Everything can be turned into flame bait around here.

10. Chocolate and a favorite movie/tv show

I've had PMS bad the past couple of days. Except I don't get bitchy, I get depressed :(

[ForrestGump]

11. I don't mean anything by this, and I really am not intending to

start anything, especially physical violence directed at my sentient beingness, and I swear I am not a misogynist and I really, really mean that and, again, beg you to please not hurt me, but...

please, let there be a cure... :scared:

[querelle]

15. Calcium

Not a cure, but it apparently alleviates the symptoms. Check it out.........

16. If it's really bad....

Your doctor might prescribe Prozac.

[Iniquitous Bunny]

18. Theory I've heard is that PMS is due to...

a crash in progesterone levels just before your period. I had PPD and PMS (I'd get severely depressed for 1-2 days) and this helped a lot. https://www.emerita.com/pages/menopause/faq-progesterone-cream.asp?find%5Fcategory=&find%5Fdescription=&find%5Fpart%5Fdesc= (also supposed to be good for menopause and peri-menopause, but I'm not there for awhile.

In the past couple of years, I've been on assorted forms of hormonal contraceptives which tend to keep me more balanced too.

20. IBTL.

I have the same problem, only I have the PMDD version. It's a good thing there are no guns around this place, or I'd be standing around with an UZI once a month.

Only cure I know of is either a total hysterectomy or menopause, but then the menopause has its drawbacks too. The hot flashes are only the tip of the iceberg.

21. Sex change.

:thumbsup:

[gollygee]

22. If it's *really bad*, talk to your GYN

because there are things that can be done.

:hug:

[liontamer]

25. pregnancy

barring that, exercise, drink water, release ahem "tension", eat salmon

[IronLionZion]

26. Grab a 6-pack and watch the game at your buddy's house!

oh you mean for women? :silly:

I don't know. Some girls I know drink some kind of rasberry herbal tea. I'm not sure if it works.

28. I am one of those parents who probably should have had ten kids

I had two, but I wish I had had a dozen. Both kids turned out perfect. I wish I had more. I would give an arm right now to be able to have PMS. Memopause is so over-rated.
