PMS should be considered a disability

If you think having having PMS just means being a bit more irritable, think again. Here is a list of common symptoms from the US Department of Health and Human Services.

• acne
• breast swelling and tenderness
• feeling tired
• having trouble sleeping
• upset stomach, bloating
• headache or backache
• appetite changes or food cravings
• joint or muscle pain
• trouble concentrating or remembering
• tension, irritability, mood swings, or crying spells
• anxiety or depression

I'm currently suffering from 11 of these symptoms. I've got to say the joint/muscle pain and headache/backache is a first. Sometimes, menopause doesn't seem all that bad.
