How to handle pms

Girl talk!
I get really really bad pms, I've tried different pills and such and I'm now trying to battle it on my own. Thing is a week before I'm due the whole week I feel shit, body aches, my emotions, I feel fat, and my hair goes like straw, I look in the mirror and i want to cry, I look like a scarecrow. But when I come on it's like the pressure is off, and when it's passed I feel good again.

I know the all girls feel it when it's the wrong week. But is it normal for your hair to go weird ? I end up worrying more, getting tired, just wanting to sleep. Then some times I'll be all over the place and angry and can't sleep.

Any advice ?

    Is it normal that I thought you were talking about private messages?

    Hot Epsom salt baths, aromatherapy, herbal tea, hot water bottles, etc. are good!

  • Sorry that is pms for you. I have it pretty bad as well I just try to handle the effects of it as best I can but there isn't really a cure all.

    If I like the person I pm them back. If not I ignore. That's how I handle pms.

      You're too quick on the draw for me. We should get our pms in sync.

        Quick penetration, fast withdrawal. Just like the Navy SEALS.

          I'd like if you didn't speak of seals again please - I had a traumatic experience with a particularly rowdy bunch that I don't want to EVER speak of under any circumstances whatsoever.

          So it happened around about 12 years ago. I was at the zoo through in Edinburgh where there was a seal show on - you know the kind, where they clap their stupid little pancake hands and get fed fish, as some kind of positive reinforcement for their "supremely intelligent behavior" (but throw a maths question at them and they haven't got a fucking Scooby Doo. Trust me, I tried it).

          Well I wasn't too happy with these poor fish transcending to meet the great fish God in this manner, so I made a dash for the bucket and tried to leg it just before the trainer bitch turned around to get another one. Unluckily for me, she didn't turn around at all... She just blindly made a grab for the bucket, found my ankle instead and lobbed me into the pool.

          Now this is the part I'm not proud of.

          Whilst flying through the air, the fish escaped the trajectory of the bucket and landed, instead, down my shorts. I don't know if you've ever seen a pack of seals eat a shoal of fish, but picture a piranha being introduced to a nice, raw steak straight from a fucking liger or something like that.

          I'll spare you the details, but let's just say that my poor little pecker wasn't interested in calling them back for another night of fun for at least 4 weeks.

            Edinburgh has a zoo?

    I learned acupuncture for my gf. I have her lie on her stomach and I put the wee pins in the 6 points in her tailbone/ Lower back that release cramps and PMS symptoms. You don't need needles either. I used to do it with just really steady pressure with my knuckles. That, combined with some really strong BHO (butane honey oil) sets her straight. The needles take care of the physical side and the hash takes care of the mental part.

    Ah honey, come here and let me just hug you. Shame man.

    Sorry about your bleeding vagina.

    I feel for you: I'm well past menopause but I do remember all that hassle from years ago.

    Have you tried the contraceptive pill? That used to be prescribed often for PMS and heavy periods but I don't know if it still is.

    The hair thing must be due to hormonal changes, although I've noticed myself over the years that my hair seems to be oilier and need more frequent washing when I'm depressed - who knows why?
