Thanks. Codeine would do the trick for the pain, but I'm allergic, so it's just Alieve or Ibuprofen for me.
After my last big meltdown, I finally decided to dish to a friend about what's bugging me (she's a doctor, and it turns out, she's going through the same things). I have PMDD, too. Oh, and I'm calling it medicine, but I'm shortening ALTERNATIVE medicine. It was recommended I start with the over-the-counter or off-the-shelf stuff to start, and to my surprise, the cocktail is really helping. I still get some mood swings, but it's so tame compared to before. It was so bad - it got to the point where I had just ONE week of inner peace a month, if I was lucky.
I wrote about it in this post: http://diello.livejournal.com/574438.html It's quite extensive homework to research what's good for balancing Estrogen Dominance, but man, it's really helped. I feel almost normal again (well, as normal as I can be, saying it RIGHT NOW during my period, hahaha).
I am PRETTY bummed out about the sweater, mostly that it was black and this monstrous Halloween green, and I had the best shoes to go with it. But it's all good. I'm thinking I can accessorize the scarf well enough.
And I've just updated this post to include Marshmallow pics :D
