Well, I have a rant <i>and</i> a rave for periods, so... rant first:
<rant>
Besides the pain, which does take one's breath away, and makes you want to puke, and the debilitating exhaustion that starts up to two weeks before, is the dramatic increase in appetite, or the cravings. Or both. I have been known to eat two whole bags of sour lifesaver gummi's inside of 15 minutes. Or almost a full batch of brownies. See, I have this thing about not keeping that stuff around the house. If I want it bad enough, if the craving doesn't go away, or it keeps coming back a few days in a row, I'll break down, and haul my cravin' ass to the store, and take the time to bake, in the case of the brownies.
</rant>
And, now:
<rave>
The positive thing about PMS rage? People stay the f*ck away. I've actually been told I look like I'm going to knife someone. LOL, awesome. This is a plus, since I hate most of the people I work with, including my A**holette Office (No)manager. She's the most scared of me, in general, but I can see the trepidation when I'm PMSing. It's great.
</rave>

I like how I put my brand new pants on and only had them on for 3 f*cking minutes before I got blood on them. UGH! Anyone else have "period" clothes that you only wear when you're on your period?
But agree with having a late period is almost worse. I HATE the feeling of having a late period.

By this point, we've all probably figured out how to get blood stains out of almost anything!
One time, about 15 min before I was supposed to be giving a public lecture, I was holed up in a handicapped washroom in a convention centre, frantically washing what looked like a pint of blood out of my one nice suit (sadly, the chair I'd been sitting on was a lost cause... I tucked it discreetly out of sight, woe betide the cleaning staff...). A memorable day. Suit's still my fav, though. And the lecture wasn't as bad as you might expect!

Ah, yes, Oxiclean rocks! I had a similar experience, only I was in junior high school and absolutely mortified about my period and didn't talk about it. I bled through at school (had black pants on, luckily), then walked to my piano teacher's house for lessons. When I left, I remember seeing a streak on her black lacquer piano bench, then walked a good 10 blocks home before I was able to clean up and change. I had no idea that school would let you go home to clean up for those kinds of situations, and I was too shy to even say anything!

When we get blood on ourselves at work we just use peroxide. That stuff rocks!

It's been a recent and unwelcome wrinkle in periods... some months it's like a faucet goes on and I can lose a period's worth of blood in 20 min. No protection can handle that. Generally leaves me shaken and looking for a cave to crawl into. Other months the red tides don't wash so high; there's no telling, I guess.
I do like peroxide for the sturdy stuff. It seems to bleach some fabrics - for nice clothes, I just get persistent with hand soap and blotting. Does the trick.

I had the gushers before the ablation. You can only do the endometrial ablation when you are done having kids though so that's not helpful for most people. My period rant is that my heating pad broke and even though several suggested the rice sock and it works... ITS NOT AS GOOD AS my heating pad. Old faithful who has weathered 2 labors and five years of heating my cramps away. *SIGH* She was a great and faithful friend who is going to the big landfill in the sky. No more snuggles on cold nights or hugs when I'm crumpled in pain. I guess it only figures since this should be my last period (crosses fingers since I had already said that once before) The smell of burning rice has replaced her and its not pleasent since a sick stomach always accompinies me on my period. I vomitted my beautiful bbq pork dinner last, tonight fresh homemade bread. GRR!!

AW, man... I hope you feel better, soon. It sucks when you have to puke up such a lovely meal. I can't tell you how that's ruined certain things, for me.

Dang that is a bummer! I used to use my lap top as a heating pad. I don't know if it was emitting some insane radiation but it helped. I only have the gushers the second day of my period. Then it is usually better after that. Also like osb said above, the soap and dab thing is perfect if you catch it in time! That way you don't bleach out your clothes.
