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.... edit... these fall into two main categories of alternative products
*grumbles* I hate PMS. Can I just go get my tubes tied?

Because I can't recall, and if you're a younger friend, 12, 13 or so, that's fine, but if you're 16, 17, 18... you might wanna talk to your doctor about that. That's unusual, to say the least, and it might (unlikely) indicate an actual problem.
