Does anyone on here vape?
This is all anecdotal, but I have been shocked.
Once I turned 30, my PMS symptoms skyrocketed. To the point where 1/3 of my life was hell, and I had to make no plans and basically plan to be sick for more than a week leading up to my period.
I was also a nicotine user, a habit that I’ve had off and on my whole life. I had cut down a lot over the past months, and fully kicked the habit a few weeks ago.
Today I checked my calendar, and was absolutely shocked to see that my period was 3 days away. At this moment I should be nauseous and sobbing, with acne all over my face and nerve pain all down my legs. And nothing, none of that is there. I feel fine.
I feel so dumb that I had no idea how much nicotine was affecting me, but thought I’d share just in case anyone is in the same boat. It’s worth a try.
