 <title>Downtown LA, PMS blues</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/downtown-la-pms-blues</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t have a personal free for all blog, so I’ll do that here. Today I&#039;m feeling miserable and old, because I&#039;m on my period. People say this is supposed to be a beautiful thing, but I have never felt that way. I have always hated getting my period. My head hurts, I have cramps, I&#039;m swollen and oddly sweaty. I can&#039;t even use my salt rock deodorant. I have to use chemical deodorant during these times. And I start getting a bit psycho. I always think my PMS is cancer. I&#039;ve been getting my period since I was 12 and I still equate getting my period with death. That&#039;s pretty sad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oddly in the middle of me proofing this post. My power went out. The universe&#039;s way for punishing me for whining about trivial issues...I don&#039;t know. &lt;/p&gt;
