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 think that yr body is probably craving meat because it knows it's going to lose iron during yr period. that's my guess. and maybe milk for something along those lines, i don't really know.

i also get such digestive problems during and right before my period begins, and after having a talk with my gyno about that, and telling her that i take aleve to relieve symptoms, she shared with me that not only will aleve help cramps, but will help with diarreah. the drug in aleve counteracts the hormone that is released during yr period that causes the diareah. pretty interesting.

those sympathy pains are amazing. you two must have a really wonderful, beautiful relationship.

wow, that is pretty interesting, thanks for sharing!
And yeah, although I want to kick him in the head sometimes, we do have a pretty special thing going.

you know, he had a dream about my daughter (not his) and I days before we met him. Also, we shared a dream once, in which words were being written on a wall. I was writing them, and they were written on the same wall, in his dream. I didnt finish writing out the words, and in his dream, the writing on the wall was stopped mid-sentence - just where I had stopped writing them. ook, you probably think Im nuts now!!
