PMS ~ would be Pre Menstral Syndrome.

Yes they have to make it a freeking syndrome.

It basically desribes what it says. It's the major freek out from hell that a woman's body goes through before her period which makes her *****y, moody, broody, horny, tearful, happy, sad, starving, bloated and generally miserable for the week before and during.

And may I say that it totally sucks and I am unanimous in that!

I suppose it is a syndrome because there's a whole host of related symptoms caused by homonal imbalances.

**Dis** · March 10, 2003, 04:04

yes I know what the letters stand for.

But I doubt the scientific evidence.

I think it is a conspiracy made up by women from the dawn of time as an excuse to act *****y and get away with it.

That's a very modern attitude, there, dissident!

One of my sisters has severe PMS symptoms and "exorcist woman" would be a good way to describe her - she screams, throws things, and threatens to kill people (no joke). We had to share a room when we were teenagers and she made my life hell, so I have a lot of sympathy for men whose wives or girlfriends are PMS-prone.

Nowadays, my sister takes B-vitamins (particularly B6) for PMS symptoms. She's much calmer than she used to be, so the vitamins seem to be working.

It's real.

A doesn't need PMS to be always right.

Ya Mrs Horse does that too - unless she's so freaked out she gets angry and deliberately doesn't

Its too late then anyway.

Its very hard to get help for this problem unless the sufferer decides to take some action. But the sufferers can be like alcoholics - in denial.

And for all of you looking at your girlfriend and thinking "this won't happen to us"
childbirth and age can bring on the symptoms to women who never suffered the complaint in their youth.

Thanks for the cheery though!

**Urban Ranger** · March 10, 2003, 06:43

Thanks Horse, I just needed that.

**Alexander's Horse** · March 10, 2003, 06:45

Its true though! Now we know who was sitting back smugly thinking "this won't happen to me"

**Skanky Burns** · March 10, 2003, 06:47

Subtle, but effective trolling.

**Alexander's Horse** · March 10, 2003, 06:51

Actually I lied - Mrs Horse doesn't suffer from PMS.

She's just lived with me for 10 years - QED
