OT - WIMMENS! Come ***** about your wimmen-hood with me...

Zits! You'd think at almost 37 years old I would have left acne in the dust. WRONG! The week before is awful! Big red bumps on my chin....yuck!

It's a good thing we're an online support group or we'd all sync up - Paul & Larry would be in some SERIOUS trouble for sure! The fellas would need something a little stronger than a crutch to survive

So sorry you're having trouble.  I can't relate very well - never had cramps, rarely had TOM (had a couple of D&C to clean things out).  No kids - it's all good.  i do have a few times where I get flushed from a 'hot flash'.  I don't like that much.
Hope you feel better.

I'm 53 ******g years old and I've been bleeding monthly for 41 of them. Don't you think that's about enough? This shedding of the uterine lining can stop any damn time, because my eggs are so old they got cobwebs on them! And there ain't no action going on that would even begin to get them fertilized. Fuckity **** fuck, fuck!

Cramps out the wazoo (and I don't even know where that is), plus night sweats, leg cramps, toe cramps, electrolyte imbalances, sucky long runs, road rage at STOOOPID drivers and wanting to fall asleep at my desk because I'm so damn tired.of.it.all.

And besides that I put too much anti-frizz oil on my hair this morning and I look like a got a BP oil spill on my head! Control-Alt-Delete is what I feel like doing to my life today!

 Seriously laughing out loud. Snorting even! 

This is some funny stuff here. I snorted diet come up my nose.

Rolling on the floor on this one....very funny.

 Hystorectomy at 29 so i don't have the cramping thank goodness! I will say that after having the RNY I have had few episodes of hot flashes! I used to suffer day and night with them prior to the surgery even taking the herbal Remifemin for yrs. No longer take anything for them. What a blessing just another NSV for me :)

Before surgery?  Maybe a little cramping right before my period.  That was it.

After surgery?  Cramping before and during my period and I'm extremely emotional the first day of my period.  Almost anything can make me cry.  It's so stupid I can barely stand it, but I can't help it!  I was never a prisoner to my hormones before!  But, I'm a lot healthier and I weigh a lot less, so I guess I can stand a little cramping and being weepy for half a day once a month.

 I had a hysterectomy at age 42 due to endometriosis.  It never occurred to me that disabling cramps, non-stop headaches and body aches were NOT normal.  Indeed, by the time I had my first surgery at age 36, I had completely lost the use of one ovary to endo, and by the time of my hysterectomy, the second one was just as useless.  Since I got my period at age 10, that was 32 years of incredible pain with absolutely no chance of ever getting preggers.

I call shenanigans.  Men... run away.

Having the worst crampy period ever!  And I am craving naughty foods.  Good thing I can't eat most of them!
