Hormones Gone Wild

Ok, so if you are a guy you can skip this entry if you want. It is about female stuff so no need to read on unless you want some insight about how your wife is or will act at some point in your lives. For the past 6 months or so I have been crying at nothing, yelling at nothing, feeling down in the dumps for no reason, feeling pains that I've never felt before, remembering partial bits of nothing and not remembering important things. Headaches I am used to are no longer. Now I have weird headaches that come and go but not all the way, and linger and make me especially irritable! What is going on? I mean I felt normal at some point, but now I am all out of whack!
So I go to the doctor and he says, "You are going through something very normal" Yeah right normal for Psycho lady! So he proceeds to tell me about something called PMDD - Premenstral Dysphoric Disorder. Yeah, I looked it up and it exists! Basically it means PMS gone horribly wild! Thus the title of this entry. So with hormones going all over the place, what is a woman to do? Well, lets see....something I did after Carl and I were married....NO, not that! Get your minds out of the gutter! For those of you who thought Birth Control pills, I apologize for the outburst, but some of you, you know who you are, were thinking something else! Anyway, we don't really need the BC pills but if it will even things out, well by golly it will be soooo worth it!
So, hopefully I won't be tearing up every time someone says "hello" to me! That was the most annoying symptom, I mean I am an emotional person, but this was ridiculous! So that is that.

They have live aid, farm aid, feed Africa aid, etc. When are they going to do the one for PMS?

Well, I'm glad you got that sorted out before you headed out on a long car trip with your family.

And thank you for making it so I didn't have to look at that tooth root when I check to see if you've updated your blog!
