Commie.
I wonder about myself sometimes. I really do. Can I be a free market-ish commie? If people could just be nice to each other, that would take care of everything, but we've seen how well that one works.
They gave me Naproxen and had me start it the day before my period started, and I took it through day three.
I think that Naproxen is a pain killer, not an antidepressant. Still good for PMS, just not the same. And you're right, Jilli. Everything I've seen (except for pain meds) requires use over time, not just during those few crummy days.
And...how much do I love that Comedy Central broke the Rumsfeld thing? It's kind of sad, but I still love it thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much! Plus, I think it's fortunate that "i"s are narrow, so I can include lots, hopefully without making everyone have to scroll left to right.
A few years ago, when I was on birth control for a short time, the doc told me they had a version of an antidepressant that you took only during PMS. Of course, the name escapes me now, but I think it had a musically-themed name.
Of course, that was the Worst Birth Control Evar, so she might have been talking from her posterior.

Yeah, but my doc said if started before your period starts (which is impossible for me, because I'm not on a regular cycle), it can help with the emotional stuff too. Of course, she could have also been talking out of her posterior. There may be a lot of that.
When it comes to PMS and the physical/mental symptoms appurtaining thereunto, I have had fantastic luck with this OTC remedy called Premsyn.
Naproxen is like super-extra-strength tylenol. I used to take it for my knee.
Actually, I'm pretty sure Naproxen is the same medication that's in Aleve, just at a higher dose.
it can help with the emotional stuff too.
Very interesting.
(Ok, that was a cool response in my head, with the different stress and intonation. I realize it doesn't translate well to print, so use your imagination.)
(Ok, I realize that by trying to sound cool, I may sound not serious, which was not the intent. This really is interesting. It would be even more so if I were regular, but alas...)
Well.
*looks around with a small satisfied grin*
Huh.
Who woulda thunk it? A ray of hope has pierced the gloomy armor of my cynicism.
...
OW! Fuck! I'm getting hopeburn!
But it's a good burn, baby. A good burn.

Am I wrong in thinking we have lots of people in this thread who know lots of stuff about swords and sword fighting?
Cuz I was just reading a Highlander novel, in which Duncan with his claymore faced a female opponent with a rapier. Something about that feels so very wrong. I keep getting mental pictures of the claymore's momentum carrying the rapier to the ground, rather than being parried by it. Also, some of the fighting, as described, sounded far too close-quarters for the claymore to be at all useful. Am I just totally ignorant here?
