I hate the time of the month and so does Cy due to my general moodiness!! About 3 days before i'm an evil bitch, so moody. Plus in the last year the pains are worse than they have ever been. The first day of my period now is just agony. Never used to be like that. Strange!! I tell ya these men don't know there born ..... Man flu .... Yer right, try having a feckin period!!!

Been a long time for me so I'll have to remember it, oh man those are memories I'm glad to forget! What a blessing menopause is! I used to swear by Midol, they were just the ticket, would start them a few days before and then keep on for the first few day it made it all so much more bearable.

CY....freggin LMAO...

On the other side. Lila is on to something. Alcoholics are normally low in the vit B dept. and I have read several studies that say vit B helps with PMS...all I know is it helps me.

Been much better since I started taking it

CycF - I ADORE your atavar...am big cow fan....nature's most giving women!!

Not long home from my A&D appt, my counsellor (Paul, male) knows WAY more about PMS etc than I do lol. Mind you....I DO know NOTHING!! Good stuff re the midol, CF and vit b, Lila and OMW. Thank yu. Just having the knowledge is a great start for me at this stage! As I have said, I just used to think it was neurotic CRAP./ GOD, I was soooo narrow minded!

Thanks all, and Shiela, hang in there love, go get your nails done X

Here's my two cents.
I have been taking 5HTP for a couple of months, and being perimenopausal (not MP yet, but at 47, have started getting some symptoms), I have had wicked cramps on day 1, whereas before I felt very little. But last month, NOTHING!!!! Not sure if it helped my mood.... maybe... but the pain was almost nothing.
Also, I take it about 20 minutes before meals, and they have really helped as an appetite suppressant, which is good, as I am too busy at work these days to find time to eat!!
So how about that!!!!!!!

A side note here:

My psychiatrist told me that drinking alcohol raises your estrogen level. I never heard that before and haven't researched it myself.

but, if that is true, I would imagine us menopausal women would use alcohol unwittingly to help with that.

Like I said, just because she said it doesn't mean it is true, but if it is, it does explain the increased drinking in middle-aged women.

Love,
Cindi

CHecked out liquiid oxy in wikipedia, it only really mentions its usage in rocket science - no shite.... I guess that helped with my PMS, as I sure did get a good laugh!!!

Kapo, you are two bloody funny. Rockscience indeed!

For any of you kids out there interested in birth control combined with blasting away the "curse" I have been on the depo injection for 10 years, no babies, no periods, no PMS, shit what I have I got to complain about! Just thought I would throw that out there.
