A Side Note, Cubicle Life, On A Personal Note, women's issues · June 11, 2010

Blame It On My Period


I know this subject is not the faint of heart, but yet, it is a fact of nature, and most of you reading this are adults. We can have grown folk conversations about many subjects and topics so here we go! Each and every month, I find myself deep in pain, self misery, and overall attitudinal with everyone I come in contact with. I tell most close people in my life to simply blame it on my period. It’s not ME, its the PMS!

When I began having my monthly visitor at the tender age of eleven years old, I quickly saw the signs of change that were not only in my body, but in my mind as well. I was irritable, easy to get agitated, and overly sensitive. I would have panic attacks, migraines, mood swings, and go to complete highs and lows within a blink of an eye. I knew what I suffered from because I grew up in a household where my father avoided my mother like the plague when ‘Aunt Flo’ came to visit. My mother had a tough time during her period, and I inherited her problems as well.

Fast forward to now where I am completely schizophrenic when I am on my period. I can go from a nice, rational person, to a crying ball of blood, organs, water, and bones. I’ve tried everything to stop the rollercoaster that is my period (or PMS) but to no avail. Medication has not helped and neither has changing my diet during this time like I had been instructed to.

I don’t mean the mean things I say when I am menstruating. I am a really nice person, really I am. Don’t let this monthly affliction fool you into thinking that I am a bitch on wheels. Charge it to my period and not my heart.

I know that I am not alone, and there are others of you who suffer the same fate as me. PMS’ers and volatile menustruaters unite!

Say it with me: Blame it on my period!

    This is interesting because I was involved in a tweetversation with someone last week about menstrual related matters. According to a Retweet in my timeline, and I say this with a straight face, having sex during your menstrual eases the pain of cramping. Yes, now, I don't want to speak judgemently about this because there maybe someone out there bold enough to try it, I however am not that someone. Just thought I'd share that though since it came from a medical journal lol.

    I used to have the same PMS problems growing up. I would hate when that time of the month came around because I would lie in bed for hours curled up in pain. Fast forward to when I was pregnant with my son, I enjoyed those nine months of not having a period. I said if I could have a baby every nine months just so I couldn't have a period, I would. Unfortunately that didn't work out financially or mentally. Then years later, the shot called the "Depo Provera" came out. I asked my doctor about it and she placed me on it. I love this shot. No more PMS, cramping, bloating, or mood swings. No more periods. Period (except for some occasional spotting, maybe once or twice a year). Now that I’m in my mid 40s, I asked my doctor how long I could use the Depo Provera shot. She said as long as I wanted and that she just recommends that I drink a lot of milk and eat other dairy products along with a multi-vitamin because the shot does cause bone loss. Other than that, I love this shot and will stay on it until I die as long as I don’t have to experience the dreaded, “It’s that time of the month, again.”

    When I was younger it affected my only physically as I have gotten older… that’s changed. I’m anemic. So, my iron level drops incredibly low and I get real tired. I’m also hypoglycemic, so at times I have fainted. Over the past few years I’ve noticed that well, commercials make me cry. I get real offended by things that well, make no sense a couple of days later… and migraines. The first couple of days before? I have a constant headache that won’t go away. Yeah, it’s a lot of fun and keeps (not) getting better.

    I do notice that I am more emotional but since I have lupus it really affects me physically. Everything hurts and I am super tired.
