I'm lucky enough not to have physical PMS symptoms, but for a week before TOM arrives I'm pretty much a bitch from hell.

On the first day, it feels like someone's dog is using my uterus for a chew toy. If I don't take a lot of Advil, I end up lying in bed, curled up in a little ball, alternately crying and threatening to call the hospital so they can do an emergency hysterectomy.

I tried Vioxx once. It's supposed to be the new drug of choice for cramps. Didn't do a damn thing. I wound up lying in bed, curled up in a little ball, alternately crying and threatening to call the hospital so they can do an emergency hysterectomy.

I've never tried using the pill, and I don't want to start now because Mr. aephi alum and I are talking about starting a family soon. Which, unfortunately, also precludes the hysterectomy.

If this is what cramps are like, I can't wait for childbirth... epidural, please
