I could not agree with this more.

I wish I could have a ME night when this happens. But with 2 kids and a husband who never seems to have time for them, I don't get much of this.
My doctor gave me a prescription for Sarafem, to take the 2 weeks prior to getting my period. I was really nervous about taking it at first. I was afraid it would mask the real issues. But I do take it, and it just kind of smoothes out the rough edges. The issues are still there, but I am not crying every moment, and yelling the next.
