Need a huggle :(

Gah periods are horrid eh? Sounds like you're really suffering. I prescribe lots of rest, chocolate and cups of tea.

Men have it easy eh?? x

Yeh its horrible. I had a massive bar of galaxy last night, feel really bad now!

SHame i have to work, i cant even finish early today

x

Rubbish! Don't feel guilty about the galaxy - you obviously needed it! I'm dragging my fat arse to the gym tonight - baked some cookies at the weekend and ate a couple yesterday and they are HUGE. Grr I have no will power at all.

Make sure you don't work too hard today! x

Aww you really suffer don't you? Have you looked into seeing a herbalist or similar - worth a go if nothing else

No i havent tried anything herbal, anything you can suggest? x

I know evening primrose is meant to sort symptoms of PMS, but it also reacts funnily with the pill. I'm not sure about other things tbh, but I thught as the doc has been a bit unhelpful, it might be an idea to look elsewhere. My friend suffers with depression and has taken a magnesium calcium mix for that, as it's hormonal you could try that?

My vote goes for evening primrose oil every time. Couldn't manage without the stuff!!?

Will this effect the pill though...i dont want any unexpected arrivals before the wedding lol.

Sorry to crash your thread Suzie, I haven't been on for a while. How are you? Have you had any luck finding a house?

ah its ok babe

We have short listed it to 3 houses. We are going to view them again tomorrow to put them in order of favourite. All have there pros and cons. Then we'll make an offer early next week on house 1 but i said to OH, dont get too excited cause if an offer is accepted, its not for definate until we get a completion date.

Strange to think this time next week we could be 6 weeks away from getting the keys to our first house!

Hi Suzie,

I'm a bit late to this sorry. I used to suffer terribly with Pre-Menstrual Migraines (I would get flu like symptoms and would feel dreadful), so much so that I was missing up to 2 days of work a month. I went to the doctor about it and they changed my pill, touch wood since then I've been fine and that was about 18 months ago

Hope you're feeling better now x

Hey, no worries about the late reply

I had my pill changed the start of last month so i have had a period since then. I did still get a mild headache, but it was ALOT better than i was used to, the ones i got lasted like a whole week but this just lasted a couple of days and i could get on with things rather than living in my bed!

Hope your ok x

Those that are on the pill that still suffer... Can you not just run more packs together so you don't experience your symptoms as often? Obviously you would need to speak to someone about it first but I'm deliberately on a low dose pill so that I can run 3 packs together without having a break. I love it!

Hope you are feeling a littel better now sweetie

hugs
