Frankly I'm hoping someone slipped me a mickey.

  • Confusion? Check.
  • Delirium? Check.
  • Indifference about everything? Check.
  • Loss of time? Check.
  • Famished appetite? Check.
  • Paranoia? Check.
  • Moodiness? Check.
  • Mental Instability? Check.
  • Irritability? Check.
  • Complete disregard for the doctor's recommendation to eat healthy, drink water and exercise to reduce symptoms? CHECK!
  • Salty/Sweet Popcorn for breakfast? Check.
  • Red velvet cupcakes for lunch? Check.
  • Copious amounts of wine for dinner? Check.
  • No/Some/High Libido? Check.

Clothes that don't fit....? Hmmm. That throws a monkey in the whole "mickey in my coffee" thing.

My husband calls it...countdown to the period. He stands alert, like a decorated soldier, ready for anything that may come his way. A request for cheese fries daily? Body temperature like a menopausal women in the dead of winter? Tearfulness over a car commercial? Disagreements about the price of tea in china? Yes, he's ready for it all. He deserves a medal for his bravery!

In the meantime I'm thinking it was the Starbucks guy that may have slipped me that mickey in my tall soy caramel macchiato....

Take care of yourself. Understand your body and how it relates to your mood swings and changes in behavior. Something as small as bcomplex and b6 vitamins can drastically change a down in the dumps mood to more of a spring in your step. Dong quai and evening primose rose oil are also great gifts from God to help with balancing your hormones and in turn your outlook on life. A great site to manage your PMS and cycle is http://www.mycycle.com/. It's a site that allows you to chart your periods, when you are ovulating and such. You can make notes on how you felt on certain days of your cycle and over time you can chart what days you are more likely to feel blue or cranky or have irrational fears. I've also found that eliminating certain foods from your diet during those days before your cycle will help keep you balanced. Instead of coffee, go for tea. Trade that declicious long island iced tea for.....iced herbal tea! Eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies, drink water, spray lavender essential oil around your home and even some on your temple. If you're aware of your body it will help you understand what's going on with you and create a more peaceful environment for all.......
