PMS hell...?

This question is somewhat dualistic... Does anyone else have PMS symptoms other than bloating or mere emotional sensitivities... it seems the older I get the worse mine gets... and I even get rather nauseated... so my first question is if any of you have nausea or extreem tummy aches how to you cope? I do take birth control and that does assist... but leads me to my second question... since my PMS symtoms every month are so damn simular to pregnancy symptoms I cant help but to get irrationally paranoid. It's just frustrating. I am a responsibile adult but when I am summoned with the PMS monster I loose all rationality along with the physical side effects.

Arg!

How do you PMS victims cope?!

yep, been there too. my pms symptoms were HORRENDOUS before i stared Depo. hehehe then my mood was crap allllll of the time. at least the pms symptoms (mostly) went away... I finally got to the point that i couldn't take the mood anymore and stopped with the depo. I started taking Yasmin, which is a very low dose hormone pill, and it was soooo much better, and it helped with my pms symptoms too. I've finally stopped taking bc pills all together, but i do'nt need to anymore, and my mood and my symptoms are so much better now. Try getting a lower dose pill, the anxiety could be a symptom too. ;) Good luck, hon!!

Midol is beautiful. Try it!

I get...

cramps
nausea
irritated (emotionally)
diahrea
impaired judgement in emotional matters...
more cramps
tiredness
repulsion to any meat but fish

I take many baths but I DONT take Pamprin because it has a diuretic and because I have diahrea it is not a good idea. I take ibuprofin instead.

Add: sore boobs too
try hot baths on cramps

If it is any comfort to you, I too, suffer the worst symptoms of PMS (Potty Mouth Syndrome). It's the sh*ttiest thing in the world, and anybody who says no is full of crap. It just makes me want to stick my head in a dirty toilet (when I say "dirty" I mean full of sh*t) and flush myself, just like I do when I eat pepto bismol as though it were candy (I don't recommend this). Okay, enough of this f*cking nonsense. I have nothing but sh*t coming out of my brain. I hope I at least made you laugh.

SAME HERE!
the pill does help, but it still does not go away......and those symptoms do give me a scare once in a while.....EVERYONE knows when im on my period because im so groggy,bitchy,upset,crybaby,upset tummy, cramps and sensitive, and i tend to get bloated, but after its over weigh less because everything nausiates me and i dont like to eat......I just cry! LOL.....Advil Liquid gels(but it can get expensive) and a warm blanket and understanding family :) 鈾OOD LUCK
