Some things are just out of our control, and Oloffson is here to remind us of that. If anything, hardcore symptoms are your body’s way of letting you know that it’s working, and you shouldn’t be mad at your body for that.
(Nevertheless, it’s certainly terrible to have to deal with PMS and/or extreme PMS. Oloffson is a pioneer in the mental attitude of accepted that it’s going to be lame, and just riding it out the best one can.)
