PMS

Of late, I learned that PMS (Premenstrual syndrome) is not the copyright for women only. It's no longer limited to only women menstruating to have PMS. Some men out there too unknowingly embrace some of the symptoms, especially emotionally or behaviorally. If PMS is to be made an adjective, some (SOME ONLY, not all) men can be even more PMS than women, from my observation. For more info about PMS, please check it out here.

Here are some of the symptoms of PMS:

Physical:
- Weight gain
- Fluid retention
- Breast tenderness
- Headaches and body aches
- Acne
- Hot flashes
- Nausea
- Cold sores and herpes outbreaks
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Food cravings
- Insomnia
- Fatigue

Emotional/behavioral:
- Moodiness/irritability
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Panic attacks
- Suicidal thoughts
- Crying fits
- Aggressiveness

So, are you suffering from PMS? Yes? No? If you are, but you are not a woman... then how ah? LOL! :D

Yes. I think men PMS more than the girls now. And they start to develop fickle mindedness of women and harp on pettiness as well. Oh, horror!
