The New Pmt thread...

[Mrs TG]

Thought i would try to help you men to understand us women.  .  . 

Men, do you have problems when your wife is suffering from PMT?
Dangerous- What's for dinner?
Safer- Can I help you with dinner?
Safest- Where would you like to go for dinner?
Outstanding- Here, have some wine. 

Dangerous- Are you wearing that?
Safer- Wow, you sure look good in brown!
Safest- WOW! Look at you!
Outstanding- Here, have some wine

Dangerous- What are you so worked up about?
Safer- Could we be overreacting?
Safest- Here's my paycheck. 
Outstanding- Here, have some wine. 

Dangerous- Should you be eating that?
Safer- You know, there are a lot of apples left. 
Safest- Can I get you a piece of chocolate with that?
Outstanding- Here, have some wine. 

Dangerous- What did you DO all day?
Safer- I hope you didn't over-do it today. 
Safest- I've always loved you in that robe!
Outstanding- Here, have some wine . 
And remember, PMT could stand for Potential Murder Suspect!

What is premenstrual syndrome?

 
PMS or PMT?

The terms premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual tension (PMT) are interchangeable. 
 
 
Around 90 per cent of menstruating women get advance warning of an approaching period because of physical and/or psychological changes in the days before their period begins. 

For most women the symptoms are mild, but a small proportion finds their symptoms so severe they dread this time of the month. 

The terms ‘mild’ and ‘severe’ in respect of PMS are arbitrary, but relate to the extent of disruption to your home and work life that's attributable to the monthly cycle. 

About a third of women say PMS significantly affects their life, with 5 to 10 per cent classifying their PMS as severe. 

Symptoms of PMS

 
For some women, the days before the start of their period can be awful. 
 
 
There are more than 100 recognised symptoms that may be due to PMS.  Fortunately, most women experience only a handful of problems.  The most common symptoms are listed below.


Psychological


Irritability. 


Mood swings. 


Losing your temper easily. 


Loss of confidence. 


Crying for no particular reason. 


Aggression. 


Poor concentration. 


Tiredness. 




Physical


Breast tenderness. 


Abdominal swelling or bloating. 


Weight gain. 


Swollen ankles. 


Headaches and possibly migraine
