Thanks Gayathri!Cure for Pms?

[Guest guest]

Satnam everyone,

Wow what a great debate on Pms! I really appreciated everyone's input.I

however gained the most from Gayathri because I do get dyhrated and anemic on

my cycle (gosh to much information s.i.r.!!!):): and it reminded me to

run and get a bottle of water.It did help. I also did not feel like she had

disturbed my femininity and my consciousness about it. I personally think

that people are kind enough to share and I am smart enough to go to a docter

if I am looking for precise doctoral information all the time. I actually

have been "most disturbed" and wish to inform everyone in the most kindest

and humorous way that I can... and please don't take this personally

people(you know who you are) by the term " Ladies Holiday " or women's

holiday as some people call it here. By the amount of response to Pms! not a

lot of ladies seem to be enjoying this experience, so what 's this

"holiday"?? about. Seems to me like a "man" came up with that "one", if we

need to straighten them about something! :) Excuse me I have cramps, I am

nauseous and I can't spend quality time with my child and.... some women do

like sex... and it is not a holiday... for them to be away from their

husband.. at this time, like some women and men think.( This should be taken

as light humor please:)). I appreciate the cycle that God has given me and

understand the depths of it but ... My husband knows that if he ever dare

calls my "apparent suffering " and I wish it wasn't !, "a holiday "he will

truly know what suffering feels like the rest of his month!! Some women don't

have a hard time with their cycle and can enjoy the meditative aspects at

this time but like myself and others we suffer a lot.The time I lose from my

family in terms of not being able to be be present and instead "sick" for at

least 1 week of the month is very distressing. To the women who do consider

this a holiday and experience this as such you are indeed very lucky to be

healthy and maybe "holiday" is the right term in relation to what this cycle

should be about.I however in my own right "detest" the term and it frees me

to admit to such .. but that's just me and to end this I am going to eat some

greens like Gayathri suggested, find my darling husband and claim my rights

to my holiday. A bed, an aspirin and the anticipation of fun the rest of the

month and.. the day this becomes a holiday for me. Note:

Please forgive any negativity in this post .I think I might be at that time

of the month PMS and all !! (LOL) the real s.i.r will return to normalcy

tomorrow !

Thanks for sharing.

S.I.R Khalsa,

 

I coudn't agree with you more about not calling mensruation a 'woman's

holiday' I am one of those lucky women who until the last few years had

very little trouble at this time ( I'm in pre- menopause and am no longer

getting away with such luck !). But my two daughters were a very

different story. From their first period thy suffered UNBEARABLY. Not

only terrible PMS, but they were both violently ill for at least two

days. It was terrible to watch - they couldn't get out of bed. There is

a medical term for this condition which escapes me right now. You can

imagine how this affected their schoolwork. We tried varoius natural

rememdies none of which worked. Various doctors pleaded with me to let

them take the Pill, but I was very opposed. Eventually, I realised I was

condemming them to needless suffering, and when they were about 16 or 17

thy both began to take it. Partly this was because the situation had

become a serious obstacle to their studies. It was like magic, they

stopped being ill and became 'normal'. Tthe eldest tried to give it up a

while ago and was okay for a few months, but then she became really ill

and had to resume.

 

Theirs is an extreme case. Much as I am dedicated to finding natural

means to dealing with problems I've never regretted this decision.

Theirs was a medical condition that needed treatment. Maybe some day

they will be inspired to find another means of controlling thier

condition, but I somehow doubt it. Neither would be willing to suffer

like that again.

Dear Avtar,

 

I'd be curious to hear what natural remedies your daughters tried. The clinic

where I work has twelve practioners and we all treat this problem.

Also, if your daughters are taking the pill long term you might try inspiring

them to talso take some homeopathic remedies to counter-act the long

term side-effects of the pill.
