Many of you will identify with me, when I tell you that some days of the month are really tough on me as well as for my family !!
My journey with PMS started after I gave birth to my son. Some say it is the only time of the month when you are your true self. Well if that is true then I have a very scary true self & I definitely do not want to be 'that'. I get angry at every small thing, I never knew I could get so angry...
Some suggest exercising to keep the hormonal balance, walking is a good thing to do as it clears your head. Lately I have started Evening Primrose Oil capsules & have felt some difference in me but I think I need to do more on the exercise part. It is utmost crucial for the family to understand & bear with the lady at this time so that the sailing is smooth for all.

Hey Amie, A woman's life revolves around hormones, hormones, hormones! And therefore it is our blanket excuse to anyting that is beyond explanation. Between me and my friend, we have a little ritual- if she or I cannot come with any reason (for anything) we give a high five and say together- HARRR-MOANS! Try it it is very therapeutic (just joiking)
and yes I speak Marathi, I walk Marathi, I talk Marathi I am from Maharashtra (ask Sonie she will vouch for me and tell you that I have the potantial to become- PRB- Prabhat Road Bai, those omnipresent, 50s ladies wearing sport shoes and gallivanting from anywhere between law college road and Chitale bandhu on "Deccan".

With me it started after marriage, may be adjusting to my new life brought out the PMS. I used to read about it and couldn't understand it. and now i go thru it every month... become snappy, short tempered, edgy...Good tips there
Iam also a victim of PMS in a suttle way. I have had other women tell me that its all in the mind. But I know when my hormones elevate....my blood boils for even the smallest reason. Pre-pregnancy or post, PMS has been the same. But I have realised that excercise is helping to put my mood-swings under control. It is all the more necessary because I have a 19 month old and he becomes the easiest target.
Oh..I so identify with Himali, that the kids are the easiest targets...I feel so sorry and so angry again!! at myself for yelling at my son...A few sobs later I am ok....but to go through this every month is hell !! can we get a break??
