PMS -- Yikes! Before I got on The Pill I had every 'symptom' in the book and then some, including screaming and *throwing* things at my BOSS (needless to say, PMS is directly responsible for losing *that* job). Luckily I was single back then, but even my best friends fled in my PMS-y presence. I was a true bitch, agressive, annoying, irrational, paranoid, frighteningly full of rage, and just awful to be around. Then, of course, there were the physical symptoms. My PMS was so bad it was losing me friends, because it would happen about two weeks out of every four, and the threat of losing my friends finally drove me to my obgyn, hoping for some help. Hormone therapy, in the guise of the birth control pill, has allowed me to reclaim my life. Now I get 48 hours of being a rage-filled paranoid mood swinging depressed and irrational subhuman with insomnia and hot flashes instead of two weeks, and I know when those two days are coming, so I can plan to isolate myself as much as I can from those I might hurt. In addition the physical symptoms are almost gone, and the duration itself has nicely fitted into the week I'm off the pill, instead of taking up half my life. I don't think I would ever give the BCP up -- it allows me to be more or less normal most of the time, since I take it three months in a row, which means I have periods once every three months. This stability has given me the confidence to start a serious search for a dominant, now that I know I've gotten everything under control and don't have to worry about seriously injuring anybody in a non-consentual manner. The incident with my boss prior to getting on the pill was NOT the first time hormone-induced rage made me take swings at people. Physically, The Pill has never made my blood pressure rise, nor have I gained weight from it, or experienced any side effects much beyond a bit of nausea the first few months. I do find it harder to LOSE weight, but that's a fair trade for what it provides. It's not impossible, just harder. With any luck, if I ever partner with a dominant, he'll understand it's in everybody's best interest to let me disappear for 48 hours every three months. I'm not very sure that trying to scene with me in that irrational, paranoid, bi-polar emotional state is a good idea. DSG
