    And I agree with you on that point. I do my homework. I do the things that I know will help me like drink lots of water before and during, take midol, eat lots of chocolate (puts me in a better mood) and I myself many times will remove myself to another room or go and do something else. I also am really good about the week to week and a half before of daily reminding him....I'm about to start. But there are times when the exorcist woman comes out no matter what I do.

    Now see I didn't know about the oatmeal issue.

      Nice work.

      The warning is the most helpful of all.

          I've never witnessed any of these remedies though:



          TO MODERATE MOOD SWINGS

          3. Tincture of the flowering tops of fresh motherwort is a favorite calmative of herbalist Weed. She uses 5-10 drops in a small amount of water as a dose, which she repeats as needed, sometimes as frequently as 3-4 times an hour, until the desired effect is achieved. "I never feel drugged or groggy or out-of-it when I use motherwort to help me calm down," she says.

          4. For women who consistently feel premenstrual rage, use 20-30 drops of motherwort tincture twice a day for a month to help stabilize mood swings. Make it a priority to take a moon day - one day right before or at the start of the menstrual flow which is set aside for you and you alone.

          5. One or more cups of an infusion of the herb oatstraw (the grass of the plant that gives us oatmeal) helps the nerves calm down and provides a rich source of minerals known to soothe frazzled emotions.

            I've been lucky since all three of the long term relationships I've been in have been with women who didn't get extreme PMS. This maybe abnormal or it may be that we never lived together so I avoid the worst of it but some how or other things normally turned out mild.

            I'm not saying it was a cake walk and there were mode swings, occational crying and what not but there was never the "laying in bed crying for days" events which other persons have described in this thread.

              Oh, and one more thing, I believe Eli Lilly has a drug coming down the pipeline, very shortly, that is supposed to mimimize PMS symptoms. They are the inventors of Prozac.

                  There used to be something on the market called Sarafem that I used to take.....basically baby prozac.

                  Now see I thought that I should at least get a pat on the back for warning him ahead of time, but he doesn't see that as a plus. I'm thinking yeah it is! Or would you just rather I kept quite and just got blinsided by the exorcist woman

                    The birth control pill is great for PMS according to the family doctor. Evens out the moods.

                            Some women do take the pill for PMS. The bad news is PMS gets worse as you get older. Its really not fair to expect your partner to just put up with it and it isn't funny for either partner.

                            If you really care about your marriage, and I'm sure you do, see your doctor and get the problem addressed medically.

                              Actually.......(can't believe this is coming out of my mouth) I agree with you Horse. And you did make a valid point, it has gotten worse as my age has increased.

                                as ted striker so aptly put it,
                                1) Stay the **** out of dodge until the madness passes
                                .

                                my gf isn't so bad, actually, emotionally. i do have to be more careful with what i say and how i tease, but she's not as... scary... as she used to be. whether this is because i've gotten somewhat used to it or whether it's because of the pill, i don't know.

                                there is a strange occurence, however. whenever pms strikes her, she'll tell me, and i'll try not to touch her. it seems that when it's a bad case of it, any physical contact with anything makes her want to vomit (including clothing, other people, chairs, etc.), so.
