You can celebrate once a month if you like. I think I would prefer to crawl into a hole and hide for a week. Some of us don't hurt so much as feel generally bitchy, rotten, and miserable. And there are no drugs to fix THAT problem (but hugs do help). Lynda -- From the lunch hour of hound!llfe.

I occasionally (not always) feel "bitchy, rotten, and miserable" for the
three or four days UNTIL my period starts. I'e found that taking vitamin
B plus C helps considerably. (A vitamin nut book I once read claimed vitamin
B soothed the nerves and was generally useful for people who were pregnant,
menstruating, doing grass or acid or other drugs, overtired, and generally
under stress. I've urged it on friends under such conditions over the years
since and gotten generally favorable results.)
I've noticed that when my period finally starts, the tension level gets
lower. And my dreams/daydreams get more vivid.
