Surely, if we are feeling so poorly, we can say, hey, I work hard, does it matter if the house isn’t perfect today? Can’t I just put the feet up and lose myself in a book, until I feel better. We view ourselves as inadequate, when what we are is feeling not well. We would comfort others feeling that way. Why not ourselves?Sheryl Brownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921522478513543769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773882436450318586.post-78331554666531521962009-08-06T12:34:01.201-04:002009-08-06T12:34:01.201-04:00Good info here, Liana.

I found 85% dark chocolate the other day and although I've moved to mainly dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, that one is a bit too strong/bitter. But I do try to switch the chocolate lovers I know over to the dark side. ;-)<br /><br />I lose days also if I don't keep up with my water intake and exercise. Those two things, plus extra iron a few days before, seem to be the best counter for me.LK Hunsakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706929624587891992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773882436450318586.post-79313071527922905942009-08-06T11:46:06.520-04:002009-08-06T11:46:06.520-04:00Liana--I am so way past PMDD, and really didn'...Liana--I am so way past PMDD, and really didn't suffer much anyway, it's difficult to relate--it's a distant memory! But other things can throw our bodies out of whack just as much--just maybe not with such regularity. For me, it's meat--it makes my joints swell and ache and hurt more than normal, and my digestive system doesn't like it at all. And nothing smells or tastes better than mesquite-cooked brisket. I just don't eat any of it. Ahh, well, we can't have everything.But we can have chocolate--CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773882436450318586.post-61516234000706704912009-08-06T06:39:34.822-04:002009-08-06T06:39:34.822-04:00wow, I know what it's like to lose days. :( Ho...wow, I know what it's like to lose days. :( Hope you find more time to blog later.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553958040386480998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773882436450318586.post-9712246781472528872009-08-05T13:22:12.256-04:002009-08-05T13:22:12.256-04:00Although I do not suffer from PMDD, I have had sim...Although I do not suffer from PMDD, I have had similar responses as you from my serve allergies and endometriosis. In addition, I too lose days, weeks and at times months to disability due to my back. It is tough, no doubt about it. But all the more reason to do what you profess.....maintain as healthy a lifestyle as you can. I know I have a long way to go on that yet. Know you remain in my prayers, as always.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413828491820090190noreply@blogger.com
