I get the same thing, but I always just thought it was bad PMS-- I get
really really depressed so that it just sucks getting up in the morning
and really down on myself. Physically my belly swells (like a balloon)
and then my boobs hurt like hell. That's how I usually know that my
period is coming. My boyfriend can usually predict when I'm getting it
by how swollen and crazy I am (he does this in a cute way so there's no
offense taken in his definition of me as 'crazy'-- I admit it... totally
crazy when I'm PMSing). The thing is that the PMS starts like 2 weeks
before my period. YUCK-O. I have no solution for this. Anyone? My
doctor said calcium might help, but that seems ridiculous...
