TOM Eating crow

jeaniem · 08-31-2009, 06:20 PM

I have to admit when I would see posts about complaints about TOM I would just kind of roll my eyes and think to myself it is really not that big of a deal.
BUT the last 3 months my cycles have been so out of whack. This month pms was especially horrible and I finally got some relief when the actual flow started last night albeit way heavier than I am used to. I have actually felt like crying today just from the sheer relief of the anxiety,increased hunger, and irritability.

TOM varies from woman to woman. It can be pure HELL for some. Hang in there.

LC and tom are a bad combo. It takes time when you start LC eating for your cycles to regulate and get back to normal (of course not everyone experiences this). I had tom for 4 months before I stopped bleeding and it was very heavy most of the time. (I just went to the gyno and they said this can be normal when losing a lot of weight plus I'm hypothyroid which doesn't help the situation.)

If it's really bad you might want to try bcp to lessen the bleeding and symptoms.

I found when I hit 30 my TOM went crazy... I was completely confused... My body reacted differently to my bc pills... It was like a switch flipped.
