We here at Scanner are in no way medical professionals. So why in the world would we seek medical advice from others who are? Instead, we like to ask our friends what's up. That's right, we asked a boy who has no medical training whatsoever to break down female birth control for us, b...

i'm feeling very disconnected. more so than usual. i guess it's a combination of things. the standard issue alone/loneliness and generalized feelings of being stuck. add to that the fact that i'm sick and haven't been out of the house for 2 weeks. and sprinkle on top pms which just magnifies everyth...

Contrary to all the lame jokes out there, PMS symptoms are no laughing matter.  Conventional treatment has included over the counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but both can be hard on the stomach.  How about coming up with something better?  Something organic?

i have cramps and not just where you would normally have period related cramps, it's like my entire torso. not that i even have my period yet. PMS is literally killing me. When i have PMS i get like zero sleep and what little i do get is restless and of course the longer this goes on the more the la...

Otherwise known as PMS. That's right... it's time for my head to skin and green pea soup to spew everywhere. My emotional meter is on EMO and I am about two clicks from tears. Why can't guys go through this shit? I paid for a site design I couldn't afford so people could tell me 'it's too dark'. I d...

life is so much better when you don't have PMS. seriously. it's like a whole different world. i worked catalog today all shift, the first time since training. i've been scheduled full day before but i usually get switched to pharmacy. i'm to the point where i can't decide which i prefer. pharmacy is...

Yeah, I was having a shitty day, made all the shittier by this little kitchen mishap at work that resulted from a freak run-in with the open door of the convection oven. Nice, eh? It's all nice and sore and blistery, too. I am seriously PMSy, cranky, miserable, mopey, and I bailed on curling tonight...

this weekend was the suck. saturday i worked, the customers were awful, i found out i was auto enrolled in a 401K and was none too happy about the payroll deduction, i missed the penguin game, and i was 3 weeks into PMS and was a psychotically depressed pissed off bitch. when i got home my parents s...

remember this fancy post? it was written on, what we affectionately call around here, an upswing. sometimes i get in moods where i am so creative i can hardly contain myself. my plans are lofty, projects are started in every room, life is good! i pump out ideas, crafts, and glorious dinners! i updat...

I'm so miserable it's beyond Emo. It's as if I'm being hurled into some sort of PMS filled depression. Bad. REALLY REALLY bad. I felt a little better after talking to Bane. He's the chocolate to my frenzy. I spent the whole day thinking about what I can do to fix the server. I drove all the support ...
