NO BOYS ALLOWED

I mean, you guys can read it if you want to. But I don't think you want to.

My PMS symptoms have become so predictable, it's almost boring. Still just as agitating, though.

Usually the first day of PMS (about 4 days before day 1 of my period), I get a random migraine from out of nowhere, with no real or definable cause. Days 2 and 3 consist of TOTALLY irrational thoughts / moods and mild depression, accompanied by random (almost uncontrolled) 5 - 10 second internal temper tantrums (road rage!!).

Then there's the really fun stuff like the bloating, gas, constipation, weight gain, nausea, and sore boobs for a couple days. But by the last day of PMS, I'm lucky enough to almost forget that my period is even coming the next day.

But then it does.

And it SUCKS (you know this). Days 1 and 2 of my period are like someone glued an extra-tight vice to my uterus and left me to die in some dark, creepy alleyway. And the hot flashes. Oh, the hot flashes. And you just feel dirty all the time.

But by Day 3, it's not so bad, and I remember I'm going to live through this one just like I've done in the past and will continue to do.

But damnit it's a waste of my time.
