A week before my period I get sick with cronic pain. I have it in my back, my lower legs and stomache cramps and sever headaches. I'm 48 and my period is irratic at best and I try to keep track of when it's going to start but it never starts when its suppose to. Like today I know its coming because I feel sick and tired and I am extra depressed--not that I need anything extra to get depressed about, but there it is. I also get really damn cranky. I guess I don't get sick in the traditional way but my symtoms are just so awful.
I have been suffering from all these symtoms since I was about 30 and I hate it all.
I have been suffering all week and weekend with these symptoms and I just can't believe my period hasn't started yet. I just want it to be over with!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
