I have to live with it ...sometimes I want them sliced off my chest ...I hate my little perkys .

Ok, don't hit me with those things, but... have you tried taking Evening Primrose Oil? I now take it every day and find that it really, really helps me with tenderness and bloating. I've read that taking 500mg for a week before your period will do it, but it also helps with moodiness so I just take the stuff every day.
It works for me, anyways.

Partly..
I've tried that..I was on a course of brand name-'efafmast'..proper name something p something acid..I can't remember.. my doc prescribed
didn't help after many months so I quit..the nearest to some days free from problems is some SSri's.
Sorry I was a bit graphic..I'm going a little oversensitive crazy..
Extra Neurontin and fighting video game for me.

I'm freaking tired too. I am having a "I want to scrunch the _______s of every man I know, have known, or see on the street in a vise until they feel the way I do just once" period at the moment. And why is it automatically assumed that you cannot be starting MEN o pause if you still have Aunt Flow visiting regularly. Notice I started MENopause with a capital freakin MEN???????

Women pass watermellons from their loins, why some of them even do it by biting down on a stick without any pain medication.
Loved it when in the first few years of marriage my husband told me I had "birthing hips" made me want to place kick him into next Sunday with my birthing hips.
But who's idea was this anyway? We being punished? Still? I really think that if Eve knew ahead of time that this would happen she would have taken that apple and shoved it down the serpant's gullet.
I mean really, what exactly terrible happens to a man during this time in their lives? Their thingy stops working? Well boo freakin hoo.
After we have born children and stretched out the fun area....10 or so years go by and we finally get to enjoy things again, and this happens.
We have buckets of water coming off our face after a trip to Wally World and pushing a loaded cart to the car.
We wake up in the night and the sheets are ringing wet, and it's not because of the incontinence problem we obtained having those three watermellons, nor is it due to the fact that "Armando" gave us the ride of our life.
We have Linda Blair head spinning, projectile vomiting episodes that could earn us an Academy Award if it wern't for the fact that this is a "bad thing" for us to do according to the MEN of the MEN 0 pause era.

your description hurts...
but there is so much truth in this story...
yes I too pushed a child out and have the pg belly forever.
My ovaries are swelling into melons.
nice profile.
I wear clothes to hide my baby making hips...
estrogen is so fattening.
can I get any bigger?
probably yes.
hate it.

Oooh, I so empathize. I don't seem to get the mood swings, but the water retention is a killer.
I suppose drinking a couple of liters of water a day would help. :(

Hello..
Today I thought to stay away from
meds -from this site all together and practice denile..trying not to let meds rule/ruin my life.
I'm taking tegretol which I'm sure will be increased ..I don't mind cause I'm irritable lately..and I like that drunk sedated feeling.
But apart from sedation which I don't mind.. my perkys/breasts are growing.
They look good but are very tender..imagine a feeling of sunstroke just on your perkys.
My PMT is always quite bad anyways but the swelling makes it worse.
Why do I get the freaky side effects..
Never just content.
Dinah you are correct...I've stopped drinking water..maybe I should start again.. the thing is with the mood swings I never recall if it was helpfull or not.
Tangent..Ada Grace..
I've never experienced giving birth..I'm not very maternal and the thought of the pain well it's unimaginableI tried to de-weed the garden..it's a real mess.
I bought some grass seeds but I lasted about 15 minutes of slashing them thorny weeds with a bread knife and pulling up prickles.
It's just an impossible task..I don't want to use weed killer cause the local cats romp in my garden.
It would be nice to create a little haven in this yucky city.
Thanks for still being my friends..I'm a real selfish bitch since the loved up effexor days.Slinky

In reply to AdaGrace, where do babies come from? :), posted by Jai Narayan on May 13, 2005, at 19:18:30
Honey, I deffinitely know where babies come from, but I often use the watermellon thing whenever I hear a man complaining of pain. My usual comment is, of for Christ's Sake, sh*t a watermellon and then come tell me about pain.
This is the end of the thread.
