If you’re the typical PMS sufferer, most of the time your life is going okay. You realize that no-one’s life is perfect and that everyone has challenges that they need to deal with. You’re actively involved with your school or work activities. You enjoy having friends and going to social activities. All in all, you’re actively engaged and interested in living your life. You feel that you’re an important contributing member of the human race. In other words – You Feel NORMAL!!

Then, slowly, without you taking much notice, there is a slight dip in your energy level. You start to crave a McDonald’s hamburger and find it harder to stay away from pop and donuts. Another day goes by and something your mother or a friend says bothers you. For some reason, you’re just not handling things as well as you’re normally able to do. You feel tense, irritable and cranky. You might even raise your voice a little too loud – although, to you it seems justified and doesn’t seem out of proportion. The next day you wake up with a headache, and there’s a new zit – large and unsightly. You begin to feel depressed. You avoid activities that you typically enjoy. Although normally you enjoy talking on the phone, phone calls and texts are an annoyance, and you start to think people don’t care about you, or that they don’t understand you. Probably, you think you’re doing a good job of hiding your miserable feelings, but everyone around you is walking on eggshells or just avoiding you altogether. You can’t put your finger on why you’re feeling this way.

You don’t feel like being around people, plus you’re tired and even a little dizzy, so you go to bed early. Life feels foreboding, and there may even be feelings of despair and hopelessness as you’re swallowed up in feelings of depression. You hope sleep will provide an escape from all this discomfort.

You wake up in a pool of blood. Your period has started! Despite this moist, messy discomfort, there’s also a sense of hopeful relief as everything is instantly clear. “Oh, my word,” you murmur under your breath. “So that’s why I’ve been feeling this way.” And then, a whole new set of symptoms replaces or overlays the others – cramps, back pain, bloating, ankle swelling, tender breasts, etc. After several days of discomfort and bleeding, all the symptoms magically disappear. Happy days are again resumed, and the unpleasant days of PMS seem a distant memory.

I think this is a perfect example of the inherent optimism and indomitable spirit of a woman. She again embraces her bright world and fully engages with her life.

I find it very interesting that even though this cycle repeats itself every month, most women aren’t paying attention to the subtle changes that occur prior to their “time of the month.” A monthly calendar isn’t being used to record the days of her cycle, so without warning the woman’s world changes from a place of laughter and light to an unwelcome place of discomfort and subdued colors and emotions.

There is much that can be done to prepare for the darkness of the PMS storm. Awareness and attention to this monthly cycle will go a long way in preparing a woman to deal more effectively, and to successfully treat and relieve the symptoms of PMS. Rather than the menstrual cycle being a SURPRISE of “So, that’s why I’ve been feeling this way,” let’s save your sanity and eliminate your monthly symptoms!

 IMPORTANT NOTE: I feel that it’s important for all sufferers of PMS to understand that there is no man on the face of the earth who has ever experienced what they go through during their monthly cycle. So, let’s give him a break, and not blame him for what’s going on. Recognize that it’s a difficult time for him as well – just in a different way. He might feel confused and not know how he can help. I encourage you both to talk together during the good feeling days of the month about what each of you goes through during the PMS days. Open communication will increase understanding on both sides and will foster mutual support.
