I’m in the same boat…that analogy just doesn’t sound right in reference to …well TOM. With out the obvious sign i didn’t realize i would still have all the other symptoms but sure do. Nothing else to say about that. It is what it is until it’s over.

Robin, you can pull through this. Don’t let the funk get you down. Just keep your chin up, and keep at it. You know it will all pay off.

Ugh. I hate TOM. Because I have a fibroid that totally messes with my hormones and other TOM symptoms, I’ve had to keep track since the diagnosis to make sure I’m regular and TOM isn’t too bad. It’s always worse up to 2 weeks before or the week during. I swear I only have about 1 good week a month, and that also depends on other outside factors. Very frustrating.

TOM is never fun. It not only messes with me physically but also emotionally. I always feel sorry for my poor family during the week leading up to it!

Take care and I hope you are done with it all soon!

@Robin, Midol may with the bloated (diuretic) and tired (caff)….not the cranky (not directly anyway)….and my reactions were ridiculous….like pack all my stuff and load the car:)….nutso.

@Jennifer Lynn, sadly i don’t think midol or ibruprofen helps with being cranky, bloated and tired. but it’s funny how you don’t seem to realize why you are doing it until after you go off on someone lol.

Yeah….there was time (like a year) when I “broke-up” with basil EVERY month about a week before TOM. Finally I put 2-and-2 together….but I still kept doing it. Now I start popping large doses of midol alternated with ibuprofin the moment I get ANY sign….it took the edge off enough that I did not go comatose or bitchroast. Hang in there babe.
