I was on chat the other night and got into a conversation about PMS and how it affects not only our moods but our relationship with AL. I have been dealing with PMS for so long that I consider it part of my personality. I use to hate it when I was young, 27, and didn?t suffer from it, when I?d hear other woman talk about it. I use to think it was an excuse to be in a bad mood and quite frankly a bitch???..
I have for a long time known that during this time of month my binges became more frequent. I crave AL as some would chocolate. I kept a daily tracker and would look at it sadly when I saw that I was getting close to that time, because I knew what was coming. As if that isn?t bed enough I have to deal with all the depression. This is when I hate my life, want to leave my husband, quit my job and join the French Foreign Legion. My PMS lasts anywhere from 5 to 7 days. I have been treated with anti-depressants for this ( which only made me drink more and become more depressed! ) have been to a nutritionist who helped me by giving me mega doses of Vit B?s 3 times a day, acupuncture, you name it, I?ve done it, and as I said, I accept it now as part of my personality, but why? And if THAT isn?t bad enough, I?m going to be 49 going through ? the change? and having trouble sleeping, getting forgetful, and have little patience. I must have been a REALLY bad person in my previous life to be given all this. Must be overdrawn in my Karma Bank account!
So my question is, what do you all do? Do any of you suffer like me? Has anything changed in the last few years, new meds, herbs, chants? I can?t tell you how happy I was to find someone else in chat, to chat with.
Thanks for listening.

It is one of those things that you think i must be the only one that suffers this bad but by the sounds of it there are many women that are in the same boat. I cant tell you how much it effects my mood and the outcome like yours is intensive cravings for al. :upset: I have also tried alot of treatments and nothing seems to help me. I keep a journal and dread the one or two weeks ahead of me. Temporary insanity YES i couldnt have said it better.
