something rather amusing (to me) and a question

[-implied-.livejournal.com]

So, every period, I get "digestive problems" (aka - I get the shits) the day my period begins.
Well, you know how men can get couve ?(sp?) (aka sypathy pregnancy symptoms, weight gain, morning sickness, cravings, ect..) well, Jason got that with both my babies. It seems though, that now, he is having sympathy period symptoms too! Last month, I was having diarhea, and major cramping. Well, so was he, at the same time. I figured we ate something bad. well, later that night, I started my period, and the cramps and shits went away. So did his.

Well, yesterday, he said he was having "stomach problems" all day, and cramps. I started cracking up. "whats so funny?" he asks. I tell him, well, Im supposed to start my period this week. (but not till thursday). A few hours later, I started, and his stomach ache went away. I didnt even get cramps this time! (haha!) I just looked at him and said " I told you!" (because i mentioned he was having sympathy periods, he thinks Im crazy) SO, is this possible?

Ok, and now the real question, I always eat like a starving horse right before my period - specificly craving meat and milk (and I hate milk) anyone else? do any of you know why?

I definitely get really strong meat cravings right before my period. Under most circumstances, I refuse to eat beef, but that's usually what I crave the most.

exactly - beef. Me too. I wonder if it has anything to do with our bodies making sure we have enough iron becasue we are going to be bleeding so much?

Totally. . .and if you are not a meat person - grape juice is great for the same thing.

I drink like 2 gallons of it a few days before.
