PMS is a really difficult issue to deal with because it's certainly crazy to suggest it to a woman when she's in the thoes of it, and after it's gone, I guess maybe you're just glad it's over or maybe even wonder if you were just temporarily insane.
I know this because I definitely have a problem with pms myself. It's gotten worse as I've gotten older. The best way I can say to deal with it is to try out a couple of ideas and see if one works. What works for me is evening primrose oil and st johns wort. I pop a couple of those babies each night before bed in the week leading up to and during my 'pms period' and everything is much calmer. It also helps that my SO is understanding and usually comes home bearing magnitudes of chocolate and take-away so I don't have to worry about cooking etc. It's a small price to pay for domestic harmony from his perspective, and from my perspective, when it's all over, it just gives me another reason to love him just that little bit more.

PMS ? Nonsense . Just an excuse for bad behaviour . Imagine if high testosterone levels were used as an argument to exonerate a man guilty of rape .
Both men and women have minds and bodies . Being civilized involves knowing how to control one's body . |

Interesting perspective Buddug. Have you had children, or your 30th birthday yet?

S-all you have to do. Ain't hard. & she knows about hormone troubles having had a pituitary tumor. Talk about nuts! We dealt with it together, not just me putting up with it. It is more important to be polite to those closest to you, those easiest to take for granted, than anyone else. |

Never pms. Cramps sure and only then grouchy but nothing a tylenol and a coke dosn't cure.
I had an easy menopause.It was gradual and natural. No emotional swings just terrible night sweats. The only time I get feel emotional is when I am about to come down with a virus. Feeling grouchy and or emotional isn't a permission slip for bad behavior. I have always sucked things up. I do this because I have a kid with a disability. I have to be a rock.
