"I am one for shouting that it isn't an illness.... and it isn't. I don't even like the word suffer when talking about menstruation. All women experience varying degrees of symptoms. Some have a lot to contend with and others virtually none. Each individual woman will experience variations within that with :- pain, flow, accompanying symptoms changing from year to decade. What makes me against women going on about it too much is this.... If you are rendered incapable once a month why should anyone employ you? Why do some women think it's okay to act like a lunatic and blame it on hormones? Very few women suffer to that degree and getting men to think the whole gender is stupid and incapable every month doesn't help their misconceptions. When you all rant from the rooftops that you are off your head and only killed your partner , battered the children or stole the leg of lamb because you were on a period - how trusted an adult or how seriously an adult do you expect to be taken ? There are people with real illnesses, men with greater hormonal fluctuations - they are not ridiculed and held to ransom over it, nor do they bleat constantly. Some women are womens worst enemy. We menstruate AND work. We menstruate and supermarket shop with three kids in tow. We menstruate and raise kids. We menstruate and dance....some menstruate and fuck .. ( i used to welcome the rest ) It's transient. I think having the shits once a month would be worse. " It doesn't matter what illness or condition one experiences, symptoms CAUSE the suffering. Alleviate the symptoms, and wahey you're home free .
Due to it being part of life women have to adapt so they still manage every day commitments such as work and bringing up the children, and most do it extremely well.
With regards to the hormones... they can incapacitate a tiny percentage of women. Pain is easier to alleviate than the hormonal rages/depression. Now tell me depression isn't a recognised illness (though like dementia it too can be seen as symptoms as opposed to a "clinical" illness.... There is still much research into periods and it's accompanying short term depression.
AS for comparing it to diarrhoea... well at least with diarrhoea you do actually get time off (AND it has far less symptoms). | |||
"DISCLAIMER: I'm not an insensitive jerk. The following may cause twinges of offence. I stand by my words, as i always have done. I get it, i really do. For most, it is an unpleasant inconvenience. For some, it is torture. However.... I've always been of the "get on with it" mentality. It is how i was brought up. If you accept that biological factors mean you'll have your period at pretty frequent intervals for most of your natural life, then you plan for such. And get on with it. I know many women who never mention it, even when in the most discomfort. The just get on with it. It is a battle (sorry) between them and their bodies/ uteri. They go to work, kick ass, and get on with life. And have a damn good time doing so in the process (i know, this doesn't apply to everyone) Unless pains and cramps associated with that time of the month physically prevent you from doing that which you want to do, well......get on with it. I'll stand in the corner with a flamesuit." I agree fecking pregnant women who think they are ill piss me off too | |||

"I quote Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) First introduced in the 1950s, the term “PMS” has been widely used by the popular press and thus has been variably defined. PMS is a broader term that typically refers to a general pattern of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms occurring 1-2 weeks before menses and remitting with the onset of menses. PMS is common, affecting from 30-80% of women of reproductive age. The most common physical symptoms include abdominal bloating, headaches, muscle and joint pain, and breast tenderness. The behavioral symptoms most commonly observed in women with PMS are fatigue, forgetfulness, poor concentration, and mild mood changes, including irritability and depressed mood. Psychological Symptoms · Depression · Anger · Irritability · Anxiety · Sensitivity to rejection · Sense of feeling overwhelmed · Social withdrawal Physical Symptoms · Lethargy or fatigue · Sleep disturbance (usually hypersomnia) · Appetite disturbance (usually increased) · Abdominal bloating · Breast tenderness · Headaches (read more about menstrual migraines) · Muscle aches, joint pain · Swelling of extremities Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a more severe form of premenstrual syndrome affecting 3-8% of women in their reproductive years. In contrast to PMS, PMDD is characterized by more significant premenstrual mood disturbance. The most common symptom is irritability; however, many women also report depressed mood, anxiety, or mood swings. These symptoms emerge one to two weeks preceding menses and resolve completely with the onset of menses. By definition, this mood disturbance results in marked social or occupational impairment, with its most prominent effects in interpersonal functioning. PMDD is a psychiatric diagnosis and is considered to be one of the affective disorders, classified in the DSM-IV-TR as “depressive disorder not otherwise specified.” Premenstrual exacerbation (PME) is a term used to refer to mood worsening during the premenstrual phase when the primary diagnosis is another mood disorder (such as major depression or bipolar disorder). Typically PMDD emerges in women in their 20’s and may worsen over time; it has been observed that some women may experience worsening premenstrual symptoms as they enter into the menopause. Less commonly, PMDD may begin during adolescence, and case reports suggest that treatments effective for adult women can also be helpful to adolescents with PMDD. Risk factors for PMDD include psychiatric history of a mood or anxiety disorder, family history of premenstrual mood dysregulation, stress, and age in the late 20’s to mid-30’s. Diagnosis It is important for clinicians to distinguish between PMDD and other medical and psychiatric conditions. Medical illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and migraine disorder can have features that overlap with PMDD. Additionally, psychiatric disorders such as depression or anxiety disorders can worsen during the premenstrual period and thus may mimic PMDD. An estimated 40% of women who seek treatment for PMDD actually have a premenstrual exacerbation of an underlying mood disorder rather than PMDD.PMDD can be distinguished from other affective disorders primarily by the cyclical nature of the mood disturbance. Unlike other affective disorders, mood symptoms are only present for a specific period of time, during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Additionally, these mood symptoms do not occur in the absence of a menstrual cycle, as during reproductive events such as pregnancy or menopause. The best way to confirm the diagnosis of PMDD is by prospective daily charting of symptoms. Women with PMDD should experience a symptom-free interval between menses and ovulation. Although there is no consensus about the best instrument by which to confirm the diagnosis of PMDD, two well-validated scales for the recording of premenstrual symptoms include the Calendar of Premenstrual Experiences (COPE) and the Prospective Record of the Severity of Menstruation (PRISM). What Causes PMS and PMDD? Although the etiology of PMS and PMDD remains uncertain at present, researchers now concur that these disorders represent biological phenomena rather than purely psychological events. Recent research indicates that women who are vulnerable to premenstrual mood changes do not have abnormal levels of hormones or some type of hormonal dysregulation, but rather a particular sensitivity to normal cyclical hormonal changes. Fluctuations in circulating estrogen and progesterone cause marked effects on central neurotransmission, specifically serotonergic, noradrenergic and dopaminergic pathways. In particular, accumulating evidence implicates the serotonergic system in the pathogenesis of PMS and PMDD. Recent data suggest that women with premenstrual mood disorders have abnormal serotonin neurotransmission, which is thought to be associated with symptoms such as irritability, depressed mood and carbohydrate craving. There may also be some role for gamma amino-butyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter, in the pathogenesis of PMS/PMDD, however this remains to be defined. Likewise, the potential involvement of the opioid and adrenergic systems in these disorders has yet to be elucidated." that's just what I was going to say | |||
