Perfectly Manly Symptoms
I don`t know if anyone noticed that I have not blogged for a few days, but I was sick with the flu and had a few busy shifts at work. Therefore blogging was not on my agenda. I did show this blogsite of mine to a couple of friends at work and they thought it was a scary thing that I was communicating with people I did not know. So do you feel like you are weird and fearsome? I didn`t think so. I must admit I get apprehensive about going on a chat line but this blog thing I feel safe on, you give as much information about yourself that you wish people to know.
Anyway what do you guys or girls think about P.M.S.? It seems to be the excuse for almost anything these days. I know speaking for myself that I do have bad symptoms, I come by it honestly according to my mother. Hormones seem to go out of control in our home once a month. I have it so bad that I refused to name my son certain names because his initials would have been P.M.S.. I couldn`t do that to the little guy, what a teasing he would have received one day on my blunder. I take a herbal remedy called evening primrose tablets to help ease the symptoms. I can`t tell the difference all the time, but actually I hate using P.M.S. as an excuse for everything. Some women don`t seem to mind using it as an excuse for anything they have the urge to blame it on. For instance, overeating, temper tantrums, clumsiness, absentmindedness etc. etc. I for one have a hard time accepting that perhaps its just because I made an error. My one girlfriend who suffers bad from this P.M.S. like I do once said to me that I just haven`t accepted this curse like she has. I have a hard time with it because I feel that God gives us wisdom and He intervenes for us and He promises nothing is impossible for Him so how can I take comfort in the excuse of P.M.S.. I just thought I`d throw this out there and have you people give me your ideas on the subject. It`s a big deal for me because I often feel like Dr. Jekkel and Mr. Hyde, I actually seem to change personalities for a brief period, or rather I lose control. I get upset easily at the kids and it`s not fair to them or my spouse. If it is just simply how God made me then I desire to be healed. What do you guys think?

PMS...
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
{runs screaming in the other direction}
That's a problem best dealt with (for men) from a distance. A loooooooong distance.
Seriously, I hope you find whatever relief you can.
Cindy,
I do have some thoughts on the matter - (I know, when don't I have something to say about anything) but like you on my post, time against me at the moment - I'll come back- sorry to hear you have been ill - hope you are much better now!
Back soon
Heh Jeff and Barb, thanx for reading. I know that the topic at hand is mainly for women but it sure affects men too, just ask any man who has experienced a women in the middle of that time. Yes, Barb I`m feeling better, went to work last night and survived. The temperature reached +5 C, today and the dog and I went for a much needed jog. He found a dead partridge beside the road. The way he carried it home it was like he had found gold, so proud of himself. Too bad I took it away from him. So the snow is melting, spring is in the air, but the weather station predicts another 10 cms. to fall over night, oh well. Cindy
Hi Cindy,
My Kathy seemed to snap once a month with irrational outbursts that were very hurtful, even though I knew she didn't mean whatever she said. But now that she is of a certain age, that happens less and less frequently. Never found anything that helped except Jeff's solution: maintaining a respectful distance.
The thing I find frustrating with this whole PMS business is that it always takes me by surprise. I don't seem to learn. Each moth I feel the "anxiety" (for want of a bettr word) build up. The snapping starts, the loss of patience bites and I get more and more cranky and then....eventually..realisation dawns on what time of the month it is. I suppose it does not help not being particularly regular with my cycle.
I also get migraines. Either just before my period (or during) or sometimes, just at the end.
When I eventually realise why I feel the way I do, and I have had that DOH moment, I do become more aware of it and "try" to check myself - but more often or not, I just keep on..not really being able to stop it ..and then I get even more frustrated by the whole thing. I HATE HORMONES.
I too am trying Evening Primrose and multi vits..but Cindy..I am with you....
no advice. .sorry...just bags of EMPATHY.
That time of the month 'Pretty Much Sucks'and if I had a solution, I wouldn't be saying, "Where'd Dad go?" Every 28 days.
Anyway, about the blog I think we need to fear neighbours more than bloggers, they know our kids, our schedules, and our address. But I have read a teenagers blog once and she was telling everything about herself and what makes her tick. And there's some 'anonymous person' or should I guess 'anonymous pervert' that was commenting and she is like, "Who are you, do I know you? Giggle, giggle." I think that is dangerous, especially because she said she was keeping the blog a secret from her parents.
Glad your feeling better.
Thanx for your in put, but it seems you guys are at much of a loss for an answer to this problem as I am. I just know when I get to heaven it will be a question I ask God. Why did you wire us this way anyway? His thoughts are not our thoughts neither our His ways.
Cindy
Yes - thats true Cindy.
How much longer before the menopause!!!
