Three days ago, Pamprin was my bestest friend. What more could you ask for from a friend? Pain relief and no more bloating? Come on, it doesn’t get better than that. However, this morning I realized that not only was I crampy AND bloated, I had bloated to roughly the size of a beached whale. In fact, I expect people to start asking me when I’m due. I’m crampy, angry AND bloated all wrapped into one foul, foul package. I HATE YOU PAMPRIN! I’m going to go cheat on you with some other pain reliever, you inadequate Biotch!
This message was brought to you by you friendly-neighborhood, angry, irriational, hormonal, crampy, bloated whale. If you didn’t bring your uterus today, I make no apologies…..

OK i’ll risk it … Step away from the Meds and reach for the chocolate

Mr Geek- LOL! You know, I had half a chocolate cookie at breakfast and it did nothing to improve my temperment. I did however take some more meds and seem to be slightly less angry. lol.

i feel you helen considering i’m undergoing the very same thing as you! my only fear is that i’ll still be this way come Saturday when I have to do the 5k walk/run at the local zoo! gah!!!
January 24, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Ugh! Nothing worse…….
(WTG on the chocolate though! Maybe some red wine, too?!??!)

Take a long hot candle lit bubble bath with a glass of wine and a box of your favorite chocolates and call me in the morning. It’s the only thing I can think of.

Im guessing Pamprin is some sort of PMT drug?
I could seriously do with something to help calm the hormones down a little at the minute
In fact thanks to the wonderful farce that our national health service is, I think I’ll probably be on Prozac and sitting in a white jacket before long!

Zee- GAH! I tried to do Hapkido all crampy and grouchy last night. Wasn’t fun. Ugh.
Tendrils- I think I need narcotics. lol.
Fig- This made me laugh. Cuz I have visions of the kids fighting outside the bathroom door until they break in and bring the argument over the bathtub screaming and ruining any good my bath would have done. lol.
Nemma- It’s somebody’s idea of a vicious lie to help with the monthly symptoms. I’ll let you borrow some of the dog’s Prozac. It’s not doing him a damn bit of good. lol.

You need a dead bolt on the bathroom door and a huge set of 80’s style headphones for your iPod… problem solved! You won’t hear them and they won’t get to you.
muuuhahahahahahahaha!

i’m with ya - pamprin never helped me one bit. and just so you don’t feel alone, i think i’m having the same kind of day. somehow though, online swimsuit-shopping sounded like a good idea at midnight last night. now i’m afraid i’ll be screaming for the neighbors to hear when UPS delivers.

A heating pad, the feel-good movie of YOUR choice, a tub of chocolate frosting and some Hydrocodone leftover from surgery: priceless
January 26, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Poor baby. {{{hugs}}} I know where you’re coming from.
As far as Elizabeth’s comment. Yes! Hydrocodone. Shhhh. I kept some of Shortman’s from his wisdom teeth surgery just for this!
January 27, 2008 at 11:37 am
Fig- I need a bank vault door on the bathroom. lol.
hthr- It usually works for me, but this month, not so much. Sigh. Online swimsuit shopping?!?! Hav eyou lost your mind woman?!?
Beth- A tub of chocolate frosting?! Really?!
Hotfessional- You know what annoys me? I got the same effin problem with the bloating all month from perimenopause and during my period is the only time I’m not bloated. So this month? I’ve just been bloated for three and half weeks straight. Other annoying thing? 23-25 day cycles! ARGG!
January 28, 2008 at 8:44 am
You have no idea how hard I’m laughing over here. I’ve been through every pain reliever out there and not one of them does what they are marketed to do, RELIVE PAIN…LOL
January 28, 2008 at 11:05 am
Audrey- OMFG I was angry lol. I took prescription stuff finally.
January 28, 2008 at 9:18 pm
My doctor told me to try taking calcium supplements (like Caltrate) to help with PMS symptoms before putting me on any of the good stuff. I have to start taking it for at least a week before the Lady in Red comes dancing through with her spiky heeled shoes, but wow, it actually works for me. It especially cut down the mood swings.
January 28, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Kathy- I think this might be a premature ovarian failure thing more than PMS. I’ll have to try the calcium though…

I’ve just spend the past 20 minutes or so wandering through your archives —laughing my ass off all the way! I must tell you…I’m so glad I’m not the only one who blogs about how much I effin’ hate Aunt Flo. She is a hateful, hateful, heifer.
I feel your pain, sista!
February 13, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Ms. H- Welcome! Glad you enjoyed your wandering. Ooooh I do hate Aunt Flo.
