Oh, I've had heartburn since I was 12. It's just always markedly worse when I'm PMSing. And, I have made the mistake, a couple of times, recently, of eating way too late, too. I paid for that, dearly, I can assure you.
I would definitely not eat within 3 hours of going to bed, if you can help it. That'll probably help, a lot.

People look at me funny when I tell them that although my periods are unpleasant, I look forward to them arriving because I get some relief from all the other crap my poor body suffers throughout the rest of the month. I'm going on holiday to Tenerife next Friday, and I know my period is due roughly sometime between the day I fly and halfway through the holiday. I'm soooo not looking forward to trying to wear swimwear with a period. Will not be veering far from the apartment on those days....it'll be two days of heaviness, I'm praying I'm going to have a 23 day cycle and get the worst over before I go, but when do we ever have luck on our side?

^^ I SOOO agree with you. The week before my period (which is now) my entire body hurts and I'm so agitated and easily pissed off. My husband calls my pms the "everything-is-my-fault" week because I get so angry and snappy at him and I'm so mean to him. I hate that I do that! I don't get why PMS makes me hate my husband I feel really bad about it but during PMS I really can't stand to be around him. Actually, I can't stand to be around anyone so maybe that's what it is. I try really hard to not be mean to him but it always happens.

Hey Jenaya, my mum gets it worse than anyone, well her and my boss! He's a cool guy and pretty in touch with his 'feminine side' (lol that's whole different story!) so he takes it pretty well, but I get so irritated by my mum and then I hate myself for it. I apologise and she says 'Don't worry pet I'm used to it'. Poor woman. I remember at uni in halls the girl in the room next to me put a sign on her door saying 'Warning: PMT alert' and I thought Oh get over yourself. I never suffered from it then but I was on the pill at the time. I thought a lot of women used PMT as an excuse to be a bitch but I know better now. At varying times of the month I get what I call my 'ball of fury' in the pit of mys stomach. Fortunately I understand where it's coming from so usuall I just walk away from an annoying situation, but I swear there are days I could commit murder. So I get what your saying about not being able to be around your hubby. I think with him and my mum it's cos you feel comfortable taking it out on the people closest to you cos you know they'll still love you. Sad, and they don't deserve it, but true. My gay (male) best mate also tells me it's every woman's right to give in to PMT, so try not to feel too guilty, you don't choose to feel/be that way.
Helen xx

I hate periods. I am happy that my doc has me on bc all the time no period for me.... Yea right, this is my third month on the pill non stop and I am getting break through bleeding. While actually just spotting but for the last 3 days I have hurt so bad. I was loving it up until then cause the pain was pretty much gone. The pain needs to go away I am easily pissed off and my husband hates it cause I am just mean. I don't like it but I just am I feel on edge so bad. I hurt so bad yesterday that I did nothing but sleep all but 7 or 8 hours.

I hate taking it out on my husband. I do know that I can recognize that it's just PMS and I just tell myself that the situation isn't as bad as I'm making it out to be. It doesn't make me feel any better but at least I wont act out. I hate how I don't have any control over this. I miss my normal happy-go-lucky self when I'm 'normal.' But you're right Helen, I shouldn't feel guilty because it's out of my control.

I agree 100% jenaya... I feel so bad that I go off on my husband cause of PMS. Like today we were driving like we do alot and I told him I had to go the bathroom and he said he was going to go alittle further d/t the closest gas station is hard to get out of. And I went off 1 cause I hate going the bathroom in a gas station and 2 he knows when I have to go I have to go. So I slammed the car door just being pissed cause he just thought I could wait (which we went to the closest gas station, which I wasnt happy about to beign with cause gas stations are nasty) and when I was getting back in the car with us both a water and me some candy he sent a text saying sorry. Which then makes me feel so bad.

aww poor husbands. But I do have a reason to be annoyed with mine this time. He makes it SO damn impossible for me to study on weekends. I hardly ever get anything done cause he's running into the room every 5 minutes to tell/show me something.

What really sucks, though, is a guy saying, "What, are you PMSing???" when you get pissed off at them for legit reasons. I always say, "PMS does not create a bitchy mood, it just amplifies it." I think I'm going to make my new retort, "No, sweets. If I were PMSing, you'd be ground into the tread of my rear tires, by now."
I do have to admit, though, that when they piss me off during PMS, it's like... ON. That "seeing red" phrase... it's pretty true.

Glad to make you smile sunshine, it's a word we love in the UK. Has a multitude of meanings! And now that I re-read it, I can see how it might be taken!

I have finally had the last of 6 years of excrutiating periods and i think thats the only exciting thing about having endo and getting a hysterectomy. Every period for at least the last 8 months has had me laying on the couch or in bed, afraid to go anywhere due to the heaviness and the pain. im scheduled for my hster in a month but for the time being, my doc has given me BC pills so i dont have to have another one. I hope they work.
