Three weeks to training camp… Rajon Rondo knows ball fakes
Sep 8, 2012, 8:00 PM EDT
The wait is almost over. We're three weeks and three days from training camp, and the start of the 2012-2013 NBA season. Basketball is almost back. As we get closer we'll be bringing you reminders of why this game is awesome, what you've missed, and what to look forward to
It's a singularly unique move in today's NBA. The ball-fake's not new. And Rajon Rondo isn't the only one to use it. He's just the only one to use it the way he does. It's simultaneously disorienting, and a representation of style. It hearkens back to the truest concepts expressed in Free Darko. It's all about creativity and improvisation. And it's just freaking cool. Like I said earlier this week, it's all about art.
And this one might be my personal favorite:
The flip to get one man off him, then beats the help defense with a similar move. It's sneaky, it's inventive, it's sometimes unnecessary, but it's an indelible part of the modern NBA. Can't wait to see you fake it again, Rondo.

Why so many rondo articles?
- mickeylolich1968 - Sep 8, 2012 at 10:33 PM
Watch the games. Watch every celtics game for a couple of weeks.
Then you will no longer need to ask the question, "Why so many Rondo articles".
In a big mans league he is a six foot one inch B.A.M.F.

Because from the looks of it, this may be the season where Rondo shows everyone his full capabilities. He's becoming a leader and a more mature player preparing to take on more responsibility. This could be his best season yet, that's what many are predicting. A top 5 MVP candidate.

- readysethike - Sep 8, 2012 at 10:11 PM
exactly and all the rondo articles are similar
- phaden27 - Sep 8, 2012 at 10:16 PM
Still a better article than anything with the title, "Lin-Sanity".
- manotas211 - Sep 9, 2012 at 2:56 AM
Too many Rondo articles. Give us a little taste of something else. Rondo can ball but he still can't knock a 15 jump shot if his life depended on it. So many PG in the game how about some articles on any one else not named Rondo!!!

A table leg locking mechanism that secures the legs of a table into operative position when a retaining member of the locking mechanism is engaged, with said retaining member normally being biased into this engaging disposition through the agency of a spring; the locking mechanism includes a cross bar that secures to the table leg(s), a pair of housings having the cross bar pivotally mounted therethrough, with one of said housings incorporating a pair of sleeves, one of the sleeves being rigidly secured internally to the housing, and the other sleeve being rigidly fixed to the cross bar. The retaining member includes a wedging member(s) projecting from one of the sleeves, with a complementary groove(s) provided in the other sleeve, whereby the pivoting of the leg into its operative position allows the wedging member to become wedged within the groove for fixing the table leg into a supportive position.
1. A table leg locking mechanism for use in fixing a leg with respect to the table means it supports comprising, a cross bar rigidly secured to the table leg, at least one pivot mount secured to said table means and having the cross bar pivotally disposed therethrough, each pivot mount comprising a pair of box shaped housings secured to the underside of the table means, each housing having a pair of aligned apertures provided therethrough, a bushing means being retained proximate each aperture of the housing, said cross bar being bearingly disposed within each bushing means through the housing apertures with said table leg between said housing, retaining means provided within at least one of said housings and provided for fixing its associated table leg into a predetermined position, said retaining means comprising a pair of sleeves, each of said sleeves having the cross bar disposed therethrough, the first sleeve being rigidly secured to one of said housings and proximate the bushing means, the second sleeve being rigidly secured to the cross bar, engaging means cooperating between the said sleeves and capable of fixing the table leg into a supportive position, said engaging means including a wedging member projecting from one of said sleeves, the mating groove being accommodating of the wedging member for engagement of the said sleeves and fixing of the table leg into its supportive position, a spring surrounding said cross bar and operatively associated with the said sleeves, and said spring normally biasing the wedging member of one sleeve into the groove of the other sleeve and thereby fixing the said leg into its operative supportive position.
2. The invention of claim 1 and including a pair of grooves provided in the other sleeve, the first groove of the pair being arranged approximately a quarter turn from the said second groove, and said wedging member capable of disposition within said second groove, and thereby fixing the table leg into a nonoperative position.
3. The invention of claim 2 wherein said wedging member is beveled on at least one side, the grooves also being beveled on at least one of the sides that mates with the beveled side of the wedging member, whereby the beveled sides of the wedging member and the mating grooves fix the table leg into predetermined positions.
4. The invention of claim 3 wherein said bushing means are pressure fitted into their respective housing apertures.
5. The invention of claim 4 wherein there are a series of legs pivotally mounted to the table, and a locking mechanism being operatively associated with each of said legs and capable of securing each leg into a predetermined supportive position.
This invention relates generally to table construction, but more particularly, pertains to a table leg locking mechanism that may secure the table leg(s) into its supportive position.
Numerous styles of locking mechanisms or securing devices for table legs are provided in the prior art. For example, and the most customary form of locking mechanism includes an eccentric form of spring mount that urges the table legs into an operative position, once the legs have been pivoted past the midpoint towards that position. Such a mechanism is commonly displayed in those prior art patents that cover the standard form of card table that is readily available upon the market.
Other styles of prior art locking mechanisms, that are frequently used for the card table style of securement, includes a sleeve like coupling that is mounted concentrically upon the table leg, and when pulled downwardly against the bias of the spring, as when the adjustable leg approaches its erective position, the sleeve may then be released for securement upon a fixed tab that extends from the underside of a table, thereby locking the table leg into place. These earlier types of table securements are satisfactory for their intended purpose, and that is to provide a readily portable table that may be easily erected, or collapsed, so as to allow for its prompt usage or storage, respectively.
The current invention pertains more particularly to a more sturdy type of table, usually of some length, of the type that is frequently used for business purposes, such as for use in offices, or at conventions, and therefore, by necessity, must be constructed of a more sturdy design so as to provide full rigidity when erected into an operative position. Prior art tables designed for this type of usage normally include a table leg that pivotally mounts to the underside of a table, and then also includes a linked bracing that may be snapped into a fastening position thereby securing the legs into their elected disposition. Once again, tables constructed of this configuration have been satisfactory for their intended purpose, but, in addition, they usually are quite wobbly to the touch, and are normally recognized as being available only for their intended purpose, and that is for a temporary usage.
The current invention is designed to provide a table construction that includes a locking mechanism that quite satisfactorily stably supports and engages the legs of a table to its table surface, eliminating any semblance of looseness or instability for the erected table, but more particularly, firmly engages the locking of the table legs into a supportive position, thereby preventing any collapse of the table as frequently occurs during usage of the prior art type of devices.
It is, therefore, the principal object of this invention to provide a locking mechanism for securing table legs to a table surface in a manner that eliminates all instability in the support of the table when set up.
Another object of this invention is to provide a locking mechanism that may be associated with one or more legs of a table and provide for and insure the rigid positioning of each leg with respect to the supported table surface.
Another object of this invention is to provide a locking mechanism for a table leg assembly which when engaged into an operative position obviates any chance for collapse of the assembled table regardless of its rough handling.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a locking mechanism for a table leg assembly that can dispose and engage the table legs into either their erect or operative position, or into a nonoperative and effectively concealed location.
A further object of this invention is to provide a locking mechanism for a table leg assembly that can be totally fabricated independent of the table construction, and then assembled and secured to the table surface as a final step in its assembly.
These and other objects will become more apparent to those skilled in the art upon reviewing the summary of this invention, and while considering the description of the preferred embodiment in view of its drawings.
This invention contemplates a support for a table comprising a leg locking mechanism that insures the rigid fixation of the various table legs in place when they have been positioned into an upright configuration for supporting the table erect. It envisions the use of one such locking mechanism for each leg of the table, or perhaps for each pair of legs of the table that are aligned for use in supporting an end of the table. The locking mechanism, by necessity, is used in conjunction with a table having foldable legs, and which legs can be pivoted either to their nonoperative position, folding flush against the underside of the table surface, or turned into a downward depending position whereby they stably support the table upon the ground.
The locking mechanism includes a pivot mount, structured more in the shape of a rectangular housing, there being a pair of these mounts provided to either side of the table leg, or perhaps a pair of said mounts between a pair of table legs that are arranged proximate the sides of the table. In any event, one of the pivot mounts will provide a form of pivot block that pivotally mounts a cross bar that is rigidly and integrally secured to one or more table legs, with the other pivot mount also including means for pivotally mounting of the cross bar, at its other approximate end, but in addition, incorporates internally of its housing the retainer means or locking mechanism that make this table structure more stable in its function.
The locking mechanism includes a pair of sleeves that are concentrically mounted upon the cross bar, within the housing, with one of said sleeves being welded or otherwise secured to an internal side of the housing, with the other sleeve being rigidly secured to the cross bar itself. A spring normally biases against the sleeve that is secured with the cross bar, thereby urging said sleeve, its cross bar, in addition to the secured table leg, always towards a lateral direction so as to achieve a constant pressure contact between the two said sleeves. In addition, one of the sleeves includes a projecting member that is shaped in the form of a wedge, with the other sleeve having a formed groove or slot that is complemental in size and can snugly receive the aforesaid projecting wedge. Furthermore, when the table leg is pivoted into its upright supportive position, the wedging member of one sleeve will insert within the groove of the other sleeve, and with the bias of the spring constantly urging these two sleeves together, the table leg will become firmly fixed in position, and capable of thoroughly supporting the table thereupon. By simply urging the table leg in an opposite lateral direction the wedging member will become disengaged from within the grooved sleeve, thereby allowing the leg once again to be pivoted approximately a quarter turn, more or less, into its nonoperative position against the underside of the table surface, thereby collapsing the table for ready transit or storage.
In view of the foregoing, it is just as likely that another groove may be provided at approximately a quarter turn or 90� from the first formed sleeve groove, so that when a table leg is adjusted into its nonoperative position, the wedging member may insert within this second groove, to thereby lock the leg into its nonoperative position, and not allow it to become unfolded as when the table is being carried to a storage location.
In the drawings,
FIG. 1 provides a perspective inverted view of the table of this invention, showing the locking mechanism associated with each leg of the table; one of the legs being arranged in an operative position; with the other leg being disposed in a nonoperative position against the undersurface of the table;
FIG. 2 provides a side view of the invention with both table legs being erected into a supportive position;
FIG. 3 provides an underside plan view of the invention as shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 provides a transverse sectional view of one of the locking mechanisms taken along the line 4--4 of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 provides a schematic perspective view of a slightly modified locking mechanism that allows a table leg to be locked also in a nonoperative position, in addition to its operative position.
In referring to FIG. 1, there is disclosed a table construction 1 in the style of this invention, wherein the undersurface 2 includes an apron 3 provided in proximity with its periphery, and having sufficient depth so as to conceal the various locking mechanisms associated with this invention.
Also disclosed are a pair of legs 4 and 5, each leg having a base member 6 and 7 that furnishes stable support for the table when resting upon the floor or ground. Provided at the opposite normally upward end of the legs 4 and 5 are cross bars 8 and 9, respectively, each bar extending laterally of the table surface and being pivotally secured within the mounts 10 through 13. Each mount includes a series of flanged portions, as at 14, so that they may be rigidly secured, as by means of screws, or other form of fastening means, to the underside of the table.
By referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the style of pivot mounts that support the table legs in their movement are more accurately shown. It has been determined that only one locking mechanism is required for each table leg, but, it is desirable for the purpose of providing stable pivotal motion to each leg that a secondary pivot mount also be furnished. This can be seen in FIG. 3 wherein the pivot mounts 11 and 13, arranged to one side of their respective cross bars 8 and 9, do not incorporate any locking mechanisms, but rather, simply furnish pivotal support to their respective cross bars and table legs. Each of the pivot mounts 11 and 13 have a pair of aligned apertures, as at 15 and 16, provided therethrough, and disposed within each aperture is a bushing, as at 17 and 18, so as to facilitate the pivot of their cross bar therein.
Each of these bushings function as slide bearings for their respective cross bars, and are designed to furnish a smooth pivot to their respective legs without causing any damage in the nature of wear, to the same. These bushings may be formed of any type of resistant polymer, such as a plastic, or even a durable nylon, that have a high durometer value so as to prevent wear when functioning in the capacity as a bearing.
To the other side of each table leg is a similar type of pivot mount, namely the pivot mounts 10 and 12, with each of them having the configuration as shown also in FIG. 4. Each of the pivot mounts 10 and 12, and for that matter the previously described and analyzed mounts 11 and 13, are formed in the shape of a rectangular housing, having the flanges 14 bent perpendicularly from their upward edges. These housings include the locking mechanisms 19 of this invention therein as will be subsequently described. Each housing is furnished with an aperture 20 and 21 that are aligned at opposite sides of the same, and into each aperture is pressure fitted a bushing 22 and 23, similar to the bushings 17 and 18 as previously defined. Each bushing includes an integral sleeve like member 24 and 25, that is arranged concentrically with the cross bar 8, with respect to the left end table leg, as shown, and the cross bar 9 has a similar relationship with respect to the bearing mount 12. Each bushing further includes the flanges 26 and 27 that are arranged exteriorly of the housing 10, while the nipples 28 and 29 provide for a snap fastening of the bushings in place with respect to the mount or its formed housing 10.
Also concentrically located upon the cross bar 8 is the retainer means of the locking mechanism, and this includes a first sleeve 30, which is rigidly secured to one interior wall of the housing 10, as by means of a weld, as at 31, or other form of fastening. Further concentrically mounted upon the cross bar 8 is a second sleeve 32, which is rigidly secured to said cross bar by means of a roll pin 33, or other form of fastening. A spring 34 biases against the backside of the sleeve 32, thereby normally urging said against the first sleeve 30, and likewise, always urging the cross bar 8 towards the left, as viewed in FIG. 4. The opposite end of the spring 34, as can be seen, biases against the opposite interior wall of the housing 10.
The sleeve 30 is provided with a counterbore 35 so as to provide clearance for the sleeve like member 24, and in addition, it also includes a chamfer 36 that furnishes additional clearance for the nipple 28 of the bushing 22. Similar structure can be found in the bushing 23.
Provided extending from one side of the sleeve 32 is a wedge like member 37, which is designed for insertion within a groove or slot 38 formed within the adjacent sleeve 30. The sides 39 of both the wedging member 37 and its complementary groove 38 are tapered or beveled, as shown, so as to provide a snug seating of the member 37 within said groove. Also, when these two sleeves are locked together into the position as shown as just previously described, the leg 4 of the table will be extended in a downwardly depending and supportive position, as shown in FIG. 2. Thus, the leg 4 when fixed in this position is firmly locked in place through the agency of these cooperating sleeves 30 and 32, and more particularly their wedging member and cooperating groove. Although only one wedging member and groove is described with respect to these cooperating sleeves, it is just as likely that more than one wedging member and groove may be provided around the periphery of the said sleeves, so as to insure a rigid locking together of these two members as when the leg 4 is erected into its supportive position. As can be seen in the details of FIG. 4, it would appear that four such wedging members, including the wedging member 37, in addition to the two other shown wedging members 40 and 41, in addition to a wedging member hidden behind the member 37, are provided in the cooperating sleeves of this preferred embodiment. Although, it is just as likely that a single wedging member and cooperating groove could function satisfactorily for the purposes of this invention.
In the event that only a single wedging member is provided within the sleeve 32, as shown in FIG. 5, it may be desirable to provide a pair of complementary slots or grooves 42 and 43 within the sleeve member 30. Thus, when the wedging member 44 is maintained within the groove 42, the table leg 45 will be maintained upright, so that when a table is erected it will provide support for the same. But, when the leg is folded in a lateral direction so that the wedging member 44 becomes disengaged from within the slot 42, and the leg is then pivoted approximately ninety degrees, it will become wedged with the second groove 43, so as to lock the leg in a nonoperative position as shown in the hidden line at 46. Thus, both a locking means for the operative position of the leg 45, and a locking means for the nonoperative position of the leg, as at 46, could be provided in a modified form of locking mechanism, as shown in this FIG. 5.
It is also just as likely that the groove 43 provided within the sleeve 30 may simply provide a shallow tapered depression within the edge of the sleeve, so that the wedging member 44 may be urged into this depression so as to provide a seating relationship that holds the table leg in its nonoperative position as when the table is collapsed. Then, rather than requiring a full force pull along the leg 46 as when it is desired to erect the table, all one need simply do is pivot the leg 46 from its nonoperative position out of the shallow depression until said leg reaches the position as shown for the table leg 45, at which time its wedging member 44 becomes once again engaged within the slot 42.
In the usage of the table of this invention, all that is required to unfold the table into its operative position is to simply gently pull either table leg towards the pivot mounts 11 or 13, to disengage the retainer means, and then pivot the leg upwardly into an operative position until the wedging member 37 of each locking mechanism becomes disposed within the groove 38. This will rigidly lock the leg into its supportive position. Then, when it is required to collapse the table, all that is demanded is a lateral pull of the leg against the bias of the spring 34 to achieve a disengagement of said wedging member and its slot, to thereby allow the leg to be pivoted approximately ninety degrees into the nonoperative position, such as that position undertaken by the table leg 5 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
It should also be commented that the table legs of this invention may be constructed or a solid metal stock, preferably one that is of polished steel tubing so as to provide a pleasing appearance to these supportive components for the table surface 2, and likewise, provide a heavy base for rigidly stabilizing the table in place when erected upon the floor.
Various modifications to the various components of this invention may occur to those skilled in the art upon reviewing the description of this preferred embodiment. Such modifications, if within the spirit and scope of this invention, and encompassed by the claims appended hereto, are intended to be covered by any patent issuing hereon. The description of the preferred embodiment is set forth for illustrative purposes only, and is not meant to be limiting of the scope of this invention.

From a Guys Point of View...
I am a simple guy who truly loves his fiance. She is the woman of my dreams for approximately 3 weeks out of the month. 10 to 14 days before her period she begins to start displaying her moodiness, anger, and horrible comments toward me. It wasn't until last night that I finally started to research PMS.
As a guy, you are told (since you are a teenager) that a woman has a period, and that in most cases she will turn evil. Yesterday I detected her change when she began complaining that I had not called her during my lunch hour (although I had sent her approximately 10 text messages either telling her that I loved her or describing my day). Then she arrived at my house (after going to bed bath & beyond) with two different bathroom rugs. She had already determined in her mind which one she wanted. Stupid me, I selected the other one. After that our entire evening went down hill. I looked at my cellphone and noticed that it was already the 25th of June, and that was 13 days before her estimated period date (July 6). It has been an on going situation since I met her. I started researching Yaz, and looked into other prescribed medication. I keep reminding her that it's all her period, but she does not want to admit it. The day of her period, she turns back into the wonderful woman that I want to marry. I truly believe that she has PMDD, she has displayed all symptoms except suicide (that's a good thing).
It seems that the only person she is displaying the PMDD symptoms to, is me. why??? I try to do everything perfect, and try to show her my love for her. I cook, take care of her two daughters, her family adores me, I take care of her extremely well sexually, and everything that goes on in a normal relationship. what else am I missing? Once she starts getting PMessy, she abandons me and treats me as if I didn't exist. And if she noticed me, then I would turn into her worst enemy.
At times, she has pushed me into considering leaving the relationship, but I love her and her two kids. In 2003, I lost my own child to leukemia (died at the age of 2 years, 5 months, and 3 days). I know what it is to lose a child and a family, so I definitely don't want to lose the one that I have now.
I have already told her that she needs to seek medical attention, but she thinks that I'm the crazy one. Everyone can see it, except her.
Any suggestions?
YES, PMS and PMDD... S U C Ks!!!Hello everyone! It has been a long journey. It has been 4 and a half years since I created this post. I've since then suffered a separation from my then fiance. It really was bad. Then we got back together, battled through many hard moments. My fiance and I got married Valentine's day 2010. We are about to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. The girls are now 10 & 12 years old. After a very rocky start to marriage, we have come to learn to live and accept each other. We have a good family. The 12 year old has her menstrual cycle at the same time as her mother (lucky me), but doesn't show any signs of pmdd. The little one prays every night that she never gets her period (LOL). We now pick on my wife, because we know when she's about to get her period., but she still doesn't realize it. My wife has change a lot, and has put forth her best efforts at controlling her inner monster. There's hope,Not that we are problem free, but I've managed to have a good life next to the woman that I love.
That's beautiful😭😭😭😭
I am so glad I found this forum. I don't want to get into messy details, but I met a woman 14 years younger than me and after about 8 months or so, we fell head over heels for each other. We couldn't get enough of each other, even before sex. Texting til late at night, texting all day, lunches, going out, all great experiences. Then one day, 2 months in, she seemed worried that our relationship wouldn't last. I said honey, we will be fine, we adore each other. She had 2 young daughters that loved me and I loved them, so that helped. She would comment also shortly after when her "ladies days" were. The next month were texting in the first week of a two week business trip I had (she said that's good because the second week was " ladies days") I made a comment about a scheduling conflict over a dinner plan when I was to be back and she basically flipped out over text, while I tried to do damage control, thinking what the hell? Its not that big of deal. I actually then put a note in my calendar about the next upcoming "ladies days" The next month she had been moody the week before and we went to see a movie. She turned to me and said "I think I know why I have been so moody... I am going to start my period soon"Light bulb moment. I said it was fine honey but made a mental note to mark my calendar not for the period, but the week before. Like clockwork, it was like I was riding a rollercoaster with her. Ramping up the hill only to plunge down into despair and interpersonal conflicts. This last month was even worse. So it dawned on me to do some research. My jaw dropped. I was thinking hasn't she ever sought treatment? Most women don't, it seems. In fact, I am texted her now to see how she is feeling. I have two choices after 4 months, cut and run from the craziness, or help the women I love seek help. Stay tuned. This is only place I have felt open enough to talk about my experience.
I am also one of those girls throwing rocks ONLY at my most loved boyfriend, but never towards other people. When I was younger and living with my parents it was my cute little brother who suffered from my PMDD. Maybe it is a matter of embarrassement that we only reveal this monster in front of those we love most.
I didn't realise so many people had similar experiences.
I'm a husband with 2 kids. My wife is the love of my life, and most of the time things are great, usual stresses and worries of course. I guess from the research i've done today (I should be working, but things are so bad i had to look for some advice or help or something...) that my wife suffers from PMDD. Its been thoughout the 7 years we've been together. Its difficult to see it coming, because she has such irregular periods. When it comes, myself and the kids are subjected to awful mood swings and sometimes violence. she threatens she will hurt the kids, the other day she picked up our little dog by his throat and screamed at him, just because he was following her around the house. I'm beginning to feel worried about leaving her alone with the kids.
This morning her period came on heavy and i can only hope against hope that it will ease from today, its been over a week of sneering, indifference, accusations, aggression, screaming, and of course floods of tears.
I try to keep the house going in the meantime with the cooking, cleaning, washing and organising the kids. But i'm only human (and 'only a man') so i can only do my best, and i struggle with my own low moods as a result. I'm certainly no saint or hero.
I try not to take it personally, but to feel so unloved and even thoroughly despised by the one you love is really hard. I only want to make her happy. But like someone else said, if i give her space it means i don't care. If i try to talk to her, even gently, i'm 'smothering her', 'crowding her', 'patronising her' or trying to 'manipulate her'
no one outside our little fmaily unit sees any of this. She manages to put on a completely different face for parents, visitors, co workers.
We've sort of talked about this before, but she won't recognise how bad it really is. She even told me that she's only concerned about the kids, I'm a grown up and should be able to just cope with it.
I need to talk to her about this again, but she's going to go ballistic about it, and i am absolutely dreading it.
I sent this comment to my exbf, just to show him that there are many ways people can work through such a tough complex issue. I wish you and your wife happiness :)
My partner and I married in February of this year.
We have been together for 8 years, and have 2 children together who are 4 and 6.
She has 2 children from a previous relationship, who live with us, they are 13 and 11.
I have 2 children of 17 and 18 who live with their mother.
My wife suffers from PMDD.
Before we got married, we had an extremely severe episode, probably induced by the stress of a wedding.
We got thru that, mostly because she researched PMDD - in her anger she had asked me to leave and not come back, and whilst I was at her fathers house licking my wounds, she called me in tears saying she was ill, had researched this and pleaded for my help. Of course I love her and it broke my heart to realise there was an underlying issue.
I researched it and found a list of herbal suggestions (agnus, etc), and bought them for her. We visited our (wonderful) GP who suggested antidepression tablets, but we decided on the pill to try and manage the situation before trying anti-depressants.
I realised that thru our 8 years together there were flash points, and it all made sense.
She even wished my other 2 children dead once in an argument, something that I just could not fathom how anybody could say, least of all someone who had had her children loved and raised by a new man.
We had a great reconcilliartory period (pardon the pun), and had the most amazing wonderful wedding day - truly the day of our dreams.
We got busy - new kitchen, new car for her, honeymoon in Dubai, birthday trip to Rome, everything was wonderful and happy.
This month has seen the worst cawsee of PMDD she has suffered. Today is the 4th day of it, and she has :
told me she married me to be more financially secure
told me she does not, and has never found me attractive
told me she finds others attractive
that she has contacted other men to gain attention
hates me
cannot bear to be touched by me
Now, in context of this blog, the natural answer is to say "be patient, she cannnot control it, she is suffering".
This is true, and my ultimate reaction is and always will be to be there and support her and forgive her.
My point is that (ridiculously) this takes me by surprise every time, and I of course react badly (who wouldn't when their love investment and life-partner says it's all been an act and u can f*(& right off?).
The issue I am struggling with is that when we (she to her credit) found it, I believed we were on the road to understanding and confronting, which was a joy to realise. But, she stopped taking the pill and herbal remedies - when I asked how they were doing, she answered "i'm not fu*&ing mad, I don't have anything wrong with me, it's you".
so now I am in purgatory - she knows it's there, acknowledged it, and now denies it. As a man, I am left trying to navigate thru her mood swings and manage the relationship and being concerned for her but also hurt, angry, upset, verbally abused, and most ipmortantly not loved by the person I love the most in the world.
It's hard, and there is no solution other than making a call - leave, or commit to trying forever more.
I am in the second camp, but believe me, it is so very, very hard. I wish for her more than I wish for me that it would subside. Commitment (for me) is the only answer.
I just ended a relationship due to pretty much all the things you just said except we weren't married. It's no way to live. You can say support and commitment all you want, but if they don't get professional help and stick with it then why should you? If you had a disease and stopped taking medication, what would people around you do? Keep dealing with your issues or tell you to take the meds? If they were truly your friends and family, they would keep getting you to take your meds. If they just "accepted" it, they do you a disservice. I know everyone wants to say "keep going, it's worth it", but after 6 years of hell, I can tell you it's not. Your health, the health of you family, friends and coworkers (all who are REALLY tired of hearing about it) are all at risk. If she isn't doing anything about it, get on with your life. It's very possible that leaving is exactly what she needs to push her to help herself. If she does and things get better, go from there. If not, you will be much better off.
Sorry to all of the people who are about to call me a monster. Before you hit "post", take a step back and ask yourself what you would tell your brother, your son or some other man you truly care about what to do in this situation.
***NOTE: I am NOT saying to leave if the woman is getting or seeking help.
I suffer from it terribly and always have, I have a loving husband and a gorgeous child. I am thinking of having my ovaries removed now we have a lovely child. My husband supports me. As soon as she can admit she has this problem then you should marry her because then it just becomes part of your lives together, you can laugh about it, cry about it and totally enjoy the times it is not there. Please don't give up on her it is not her fault and thousands if not more suffer from this so you could meet another girl with this problem if you give up on her and then never find true love. We produce children which is hard and we suffer this which is even harder but we love our husbands and children and it is not our fault. Get her to admit it and then you can both be happy is my view
Please seek help if this is you. I have 2 failed marriages because of this and no help. I have put myself through terrible turmoil each month. Considered suicide most months and the mental anguish is unbearable. I feel like the incredible hulk at times, but everyone else thinks Im the lovliest person in the world, because I have a good heart and am caring when this goes. I hate myself some of the time and at 45 now realise what it is, gosh Ive come so close to ending it all, I just keep thinking about my kids and that I cant yet because my son needs to finish his degree and how selfish that would be of me......
I, too, have PMDD, and I have created a blog, Living on a Prayer, Living with PMDD, that may be of some help. It's where I share my research on the subject.
I'm also terribly sorry :/ I don't know why we do this to the person we love the most :( Hang in there and share your research with her. There's some really good videos on YouTube you could watch with her. Good luck!!
I have just had a hellish week of abusing my partner,constant crying, feeling worthless,wanting to end it all.I Know it's all from this condition and i hate it.I have been so calm for ages and now this month i have exploded again.I was about to jump of a cliff or fly back to Australia and leave my family cos i know that i am hurting them and i am no good for them.The thing is i know whats happening and why but i cant control it.I appologise when its all over and life goes on until next time.This time ,my fiance was ready to leave.he has had enough and i have had to remind him why i do what i do and i cant help it.He has to just hang in there and bear with me but i really dont know if he can take much more.I love him to death and hate doing this to him.I really do feel like leaving him for his sake,and sanity. I am starting counselling today so lets hope it will help a little.
I have just started exploring this subject and have discovered that I am a PMDD sufferer. Obviously my family is suffering too so I went to the doctor and I've just started a course of anti-depressants. I'm not sure how long I have been suffering from this, not long but it has rapidly reached a point where I had to stop and get help. I suffered some trauma during the summer just gone and I wonder if this could maybe have aggrevated my symptoms, also, are some months worse than others, does is gradually get worse?
I feel like apologizing to you lol...cause you sound just like my partner. I am so sorry, its a dark and lonely place. Please dont lose faith.
I am married for 21 years. Suffering from PMDD all of them. This helps: Understand she is suffering worse than you. Know when her symptoms are flaring and do not believe what she says to you. It's her (evil) hormones talking. Placate her during these episodes, then go work on a hobby! (really) Give her massages to ease her pain. This really makes a difference. If she is not up to cooking make something for her. Love her. When she is well she will make it all up to you. This is true love. And someday, when you are old and need care, she'll care for you. Please understand there is no cure for this. Only ways to try that can make it more manageable. It is a long journey. Encourage her. Pray.

We can now joke about this . I tell him "next month you get the symptoms and I'll be nice to you." He tells me " can you suffer quietly?" And then we look at our life together and keep going. Good Luck and Love.
This is an old post but the problem is still out there for women who have PMDD and those who love them.

As a woman, I would like to assure men that those of us suffering from PMDD (and I do mean suffering) do not want to experience the hell much less put our loved ones through it.

One of the hardest things to grasp is the symptoms a woman experiences in PMDD from a first person experiential point of view. IOW: someone who has PMDD

My heart goes out to the OP and others who have been around someone with PMDD. I have PMDD and I hate it. My heart also goes out to those who have it.

Even though I personally have PMDD, when I am not in that cycle life is okay. Those who have PMDD when I am not cycling seem as difficult to deal with for me as well. We are so relieved when our cycle is over and look fwd to a couple of weeks of reasonable lessened symptoms.

Please know that there is help available and you do not have to go through this alone. I recognize money and insurance is at an all time low in this wretched economy - and having said that - some (myself included) must turn to other methods. One not being shooting myself with a blowdart tranq. until it abates. :)

What helped me was to STOP EATING ANIMAL MEAT and SEAFOOD. Switching to vegetarian and organically so. Exercise is very important. I stopped drinking alcohol all together - not even one sip - and rarely eat refined sugar.

Age and stress load impacts PMDD as do underlying psychological issues and DX.

Get into a support group - this does not mean a ***** fest - I mean where solutions and shared ideas get passed about to assist those suffering - including those who love PMDD'ers.

Stress HAS TO BE LESSENED in some way to reduce the very very real effects of PMDD. Coping skills - outlets - therapy - and most definitely medical help as possible.

I am 47 so let me share a bit of insight to assist.

Years ago after my 1st child was born I experienced hellish PMDD. Crying, depression, suicidal, mood swings off the chain, crying, cursing, sleeplessness, restlessness, severe anxiety and panic attacks, unrelenting hunger...I went to my OBGYN who was supposedly progressive in that they employed MA Midwives for childbirthing in the associated hospital.

I sat across from him in tears...I begged for help. He said there is NO SUCH THING AS PMS and I needed to see I psychiatrist.

I almost ended my life that day.

But I did not.

My husband at the time helped me and thanks to him I was able to hang in there long enough to see a real diagnosis be put in the DSM - PMDD

You are NOT imagining it. You are NOT insane. You are suffering from a serious and very real problem that many women experience.

That should offer some relief. For both those who love PMDD'ers and those who have it.

Please support one another and get the help you BOTH need and deserve.
That's exactly how it is for my husband!!!! Show her some of the stories on here so she can relate and realize that it is a problem!! I almost lost my husband over this!! And I've read stories of women who have been alone for years over this!! I know it's hard to think it's just your period BC when you feel good you dont want to think about the bad times!! But if she loves you and her children she will get help!! Nobody deserves this disorder but nobody deserves to be treated badly!!
Hey lil. It was a huge part of why I lost my 20 yr marriage.
There was no help at the time when I sought it.
Thank you for sharing your story

I'm a 29 year old who has fallen in love with a girl with pmdd. I immediately caught on to the month end problems, and casually brought it to her attention. She is the love of my life, but at the end of every month she questions our relationship, me, where our relationship is going, and it drives me crazy. I just don't know what I'm suppose to do sometimes. I know she is afraid of getting help, but its so hard to go through this at the end of every month.

I need reassurance that her doubts are strictly from the pmdd! Its always at this time and she always apologizes when the symptoms subside, but right now it is so hard. I'd cross the world for her.
I hope you are still hanging in there and read the post I left below.
It IS hard for you. As well as her.
The doubts can certainly be triggered by PMDD.
Hang in there sweetie and thank you for caring enough to post this because yo love her. You are truly one of the GOOD guys. Blessings
TO ALL THE MEN OUT THERE STANDING BY THEIR WOMEN, YOU ARE HEROS

PATIENCE AND UNDERSTAND IS ESSENTIAL IN THIS DISEASE

SSRIs, Anti-anxiety help very much. Usually PMDD gets worse with age, so an increased dose may be needed the 14 days before her period. Keep getting help and keep talking about it!!!
I have the love of my life for the last 14 years & .......... has her love of her life & that is me.

PMDD is destroying our loving relatoinship. From a mans point of view its very hard to understand the way she feels but when it comes on her she explodes in to verbal & emotional abuse with threats & attacks me verbaly on just about anything! Around a week or 2 before her period I CONSTANTLY walk on egg shells & fear my own safety. I often question my own sanity at times because we are that close. Soulmates to point a phrase but my patients is running out & I think hers are aswel. Iv researched for the last 2 years on womans mental health & I'v concluded its PMDD or PCOS or a comination. She spots alot before peroids & turns into a crazy lady! My nerves are hanging in the balance! We have 3 gorgous kids 2 girls aged 12 & 10 & a 2 year old gorgous blue eyed blonde haired & rosy red cheeked little boy & it breaks my heart to see her suffer like this aswel myself. We have just been in our lovley brand new home for the last 11 months & settled.

I'v suggested to her to research herself about it but she is in denial. (She must know how she feels)? She uses me as the scapegoat & BLAMES BLAMES BLAMES! Then a week or two later she loves me again & trys to control me in order to stop me from walking away but when the PMDD looms she wants out & wants to end it. Im baffled by it all. A cycle like this since after our first child was born. Iv bent over backwards and been the best man/father I can be. Its NEVER enough! Can any of you wise men & ladies out there help & advise???? Thanks.
Thank you for looking for ways to help her. My boyfriend and I are working through my PMDD. You are the target because you are closest and she holds you close, so she's showing that side of herself despite it's ugliness. Try and talk to her after her period has started, when she's back to her 'normal' self. I know it's hard for me to take the 'it's just PMS' piece seriously when I'm in a bad mood due to it, but after I can recognize that PMDD was the cause and we can move forward. Be patient and try to see what she thinks will help after she's on the good side.
I guess you can't say the word bit*ch on this site. hah
I guess you can't say the word bit*ch on this site. hah
I would say that you are doing everything right! But really, I have PMDD too, and there is nothing you can say that's "right" at this time of the month. I always take out my anger on the ones that I love the most: my mom and boyfriend (if I have one at the time). It sucks, but it's because they are the ones in closest proximity to me. I almost feel like women with this condition should have "menstrual huts" like they do in some cultures, only instead of going into them while on our periods, we should go before they start to get away from people and ***** together. lol Hope this helps. :)
my husband (fiance' at tey time) had to sit myself down as well. As a women we are suppose to be strong, have it all, take care of everything..for me i felt ashamed to 'have this problem' i am relieved to find that i am not alone. medication & therapy and reminding myself this is a sickness as if I have heart trouble (its not about me) has helped me. in my mind i know better but i cant help but feeling anxious, blue, irritable & lethargic. keep loving her & reminding her its not her fault , she is not to blame & that you know who the real her. (that has helped me) separating the pmdd form who I am.
Your insight is so valuable. Especially the analogy of reminding yourself that this is a hormonal based etiology and not a choice to feel like this
When I look back, I think I have had these swings for as long as I have had a period. Being on top of the world one minute and then falling into the darkness of paranoia, self loathing and irritability. And oh, the guilt.... I have a supportive husband and two sweet children. And they suffer the most. It seems so unfair. I don't want my kids to look back at their childhood and think about their crazy mom. I love them to pieces but I lose my grip on control so easily when I go through these phases. And for me, I have never been regular (skipping as much as 6 months between periods) so my crazy phases catch me by surprise. And I can never seem to link it to ... oh, my period is coming. I just feel like life is hopeless and start looking for the tallest building to jump off of. I am looking for help from my doctor... tomorrow actually. I have started to wonder.... if you have lived most of your life with 25%-35% of your days being a complete nightmare, doesn't that change how you think of yourself. I have self confidence and self worth issues at he best of times. Let me tell you, it doesn't help that you actually say and do things to people and family that you wish you could take back and then you live with that guilt and regret forever.
Oh sister I feel you. What you have written is me to a T. I absolutely understand when you say who suffers the most, our families. I am glad that i have worked out what is and has been happening to me. I am trying to get my doctor to understand and she decided to put me on prozac round the clock but what I am doing now is taking 2 a day instead of 1 during my phase. Anyway good luck. x
I am with my fiancee who HAS PMDD. I noticed her eyes turning slightly red, with a constant scowl on her face for a week or so. She also becomes very physically distant, almost hurting when I touch her or caress her back...I also noticed that she is most harsh with me but seems to put on a happy face around every one else. I don't understand. Maybe she feels safe enough that I can see the raw part of her, who she really is for 10 days...Then I check for the tampon wrappers in the bathroom waste basket...You have no idea how much I look forward to seeing the wrappers...Feels like coming out alive again...
I hear your story and you are prince charming every PMDD girl should have. My husband saved me. He was a science major who switched to law and like you he figured out that it was the calendar. We got married, had 2 young kids and the pregnancies switched the symptoms but did not help. He did research but refused Prozac and side effects. He discoverd what ultimately helped me: herbal remedy Chasteberry or in latin "Agnus Castus" commercialized in the U.S. as Vitex. I want to tell everyone because my life was about to become really difficult before this. See my story. I believe in Prince Charming and love forever after after years of giving him a hell of a time. I don't know why he stuck to me. But as Marilyn Monroe said, if a guy cannot take the worst of me, he does not deserve the best of me. Well, i would say it differently...A guy who is lovely enough to handle the worst of me...more than deserves the best of me.
Get her 5-htp from the health food store. Take 50 mg the first week of symptoms and 100mg the second week. It changed my life forever. Look it up!
I have been married for 17 years and my wife was the poster child for PMDD. She was part of the first studies on the disease. As of late she has been feeling very depressed and it's scaring me. I've shielded my son up to now on what's going on with his mom. His 14 and i need him to not take everything she does and says very serious. But, at the same time try to listen. I'm not sure who to turn to now. I feel like i am starting to loose my mind over this. We can't have that happen.
I myself having been tracking my mood swings for months and went over them with my husband. Had a ttoal meltdown the otherday at work and came close to drop kicking another employee for being really disrespectful and dumb! I left work early and have taken the last couple of days off. My husband of 12yrs - agreed it was time to see a doctor as all the preventive stuff was not working. My poor kids had to look at me and deal with me as well. Thank god for my doctor - he said it"s pretty typical for women that really have had no other issues. He is running bloodwork to confirm it"s nothing more serious or that I am entering menopause - and has started me on antidepressants. Hopefully they kick in sooner rather than later. Good on you for recognizing she has an issue and she just may rip your head off for even suggesting it - but be patient. I know my husband would do anything for me and I for him and I am sure on most days she feels the same - otherdays - if she is feeling anything like the rest of us - she can"t stand anyone including herself. But as women we are expected to just continue like nothing is going on and it continues to get harder and harder until something snaps. Hopefully I won"t be fired when I return to work on Monday morning. Take Care

Garden Club??
Does anyone know of a garden club in the North Mississippi area?
Thanks, Kathy
I believe there is a garden club in Tupelo MS; not sure exactly what they are all about, but see photos in the newspaper fairly often.
Also there are the master gardeners. contact your county agent or extension office.
I moved here about a year ago (after KATRINA) so am not sure of all that's out there. I'll be watching for others' responses.
I belong to a garden club in Louisisan which is an affiliate of the Deep South Region. Look at this page (dsregion.org) and any e-mail links on that page directed to members in MS should be able to help you. Good Luck!
Here is a link that might be useful: Deep South Region
Ace 1 ...were you ever able to find any info....I live in the olive branch area and am also intrested
