I hate PMS...

[conuly]

Seriously. I hate PMS. I hate it with a vengeance. People complain about cramps before their period, or during. I dont' get cramps. But I get a pre-period boil. Always in the same spot on my butt. It usually pops the day before my period. Okay, it doesn't last very long, but the post-period boil... whee, that lasts a few days, not just one day! And it gets bigger! I don't get cramps, but I get constipated. Gee, isn't that fun! Funfunfun! Fortunately, one midol or equivilant helps the constipation... but then the shit which was secretly constipated (just not noticiably so) for a few days decides to all come out in one fell swoop. I exchange constipation for near diarrhea. FUN! Aside from which, I hate taking pills of any sort, for any reason. And I think I get slight acne. Not the acne that just looks bad, the type that hurts. I had this one pimple that I couldn't even sleep on that side of my face. Very annoying. I eventually just popped it. Yeah, I know that's a bad idea, but that thing was just staying there for a week! And painful, if so much as my hair brushed against it! Isn't this fun? And backaches. Yay. Happy happy joy joy! I get to have a backache!

And that's not all, of course. My pad leaks at least once a month. I end up having to soak my jeans, my undies, my sheets, and praying that I don't get caught out while in public. Most pads, I can't wear, because whatever they're made of ends up giving me a rash (though the kotex with "velcro" wings has a nice, clothlike texture), and I dislike tampons because I can't not feel them... and if I didn't, I'd panic. Too many horror stories about girls having to get those taken out at the doctors.... <sub>edit... these fall into two main categories of alternative products

*grumbles* I hate PMS. Can I just go get my tubes tied?</sub>
