Good day ladies  I am wondering how you handle staying quit when you are PMS'ing? I have horrid PMS for about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks of the month, which sure doesnt leave me much 'good' time, lol. During this time I make poor decisions in my quit and this is ALWAYS the time that I fail. I stop jogging, eat wrong, and drink. I can say I wont and all that but its like part of my brain looses its ability to think properly. I know I am not alone in bad PMS, alot of my friends are the EXACT same way...but they all handle it the same as I.....with booze. So how do you ladies handle it? How did you stick tight to what you REALLY want during this time? Thanks for any thoughts, opinions, suggestions, magic...lol

I am so sympathetic but I am over PMS. I love being past all this. I just have to cheer every day or at least once a month.

My PMS Is baaad. Just ask my husband! I too drank more during that time to ease all of those syptoms. Now I take alot of hot baths with a good book and ask not to be disturbed. And of course growl alot.

I definitely fall into this category, and I used to use drugs to medicate the pain. So now, I'm just kind of dealing with it with motrin. I'm in bed the first day every month for a lot of the day if I can manage it. I feel just dreadful the first day, sick. KJ |

| I try not to over react
PMS tends to make in highly strung. I offend more easily. Cry more. Become more parinod etc.... I try not to over react because then I end up creating a whole lot of real problems! Not just ones brought on my horomones. I just try and chill out. Take it easy. Watch more TV. Read more. Just being more quite/calm seems to help me.

I talked to my Dr. He had some great ideas.
