Basket-case

I've had the most horrible emotional week and a half... hormones have really played havoc with me for some reason this month. Its not so much been mood-swings, more like split personality! LOL! I have never felt such horrendous PMT. I have gone from calm and serene, to down and depressed, to stressed and panic-y, and then back to being down in the dumps. There's not been a lot of "ups", I've been a very unhappy camper, and not a nice person to be around!

Anyway, the storm broke yesterday - unfortunately we were out shopping for cars at the time, and I ended up sitting in our car gasping with the most painful cramps and nausea that I can ever remember. 4 panadol did not even take the edge off. As soon as we got home I spent the rest of the morning curled up with a heat bag. I dont want to go through that again next month!

Apart from me being a basket-case all weekend, we had a nice Easter break. Had some friends over for dinner and few games of table tennis on Friday night, but mostly we just relaxed. I will even venture to say that we were a bit bored. No renovations, no gallavanting about. Just some quiet home time.

Did shoulders and back yesterday, felt very weak due to T.O.M. Then I followed it with a 20 minute jog, which I was surprised I managed since my legs felt rubbery. Got home yesterday afternoon feeling all motivated so I took the dogs for a walk and then went for a 4km jog. Feeling it a bit this morning though - especially since I trained legs this morning! I think my hammies and calves are going to be sore tomorrow!

Oh I hate PMS pains. I went through a few motnhs when I didn't have the implanon in my arm and I got the worst period pain ever. I got it put back in mainly just to stop the pain...

Hope your feeling better soon

I thought you looked down this morning when you jumped on the tready!!!
PMS along with any hormonal issues just sucks! Wish I could pass on my euphoric feelings at the moment. I am enjoying the feeling, so great not to be down in the dumps.
Look at least your TOM is regular, I haven't had mine for over 10 weeks now.

I end up the way you have just described and i hate it. I find that ibuprofen helps relieve the pain a lot better than panadol. I have also been taking evening primrose oil and i have found that my mood swings are no where near as bad and the pain is more than halved.

Have you looked into any herbal remedies-your pms sounds pretty awful.
I get cramps and grouchy-but- that sounded much worse.
Hope your feeling better now!
