At last...it has a name
 

I have been wondering for some time what is "up" with me. Now I know. And in a spirit of equality, I am going to enjoy it to the full! You thought PMT made women tetchy - you aint seen nothin yet! Acrylic-bob has IMS!

So what is IMS actually like, A-B? Like a rag-week compressed into one day?:rolleyes:

Re: At last...it has a name
 

If A-B, joins a monastry will he get IMS at the same time as the other monks?
lt always amazes me that when women live together, very often their cycles go into tandem, so to speak!

Why Not?

This is how wars start!:D

Never had PMT. I'm a bitch all the time .....

Re: At last...it has a name
 

My late husband suffered from IMS. It usually coincided with me asking him to do something, like "Just knock that wall down, love" or "Wire me a couple of double sockets into the kitchen, dear", and Sport being on the telly. ;)

Re: At last...it has a name
 

I've got the opposite problem. Busman has a penchant for knocking down walls.

Think nothing of it pal, anything to help a fellow sufferer, perhaps we should form a group and apply for council funding.

Re: At last...it has a name
 

I don't believe it! It has a name at last. My dad has suffered from this for years. He shows symptoms of this every day but we've always called it Victor Meldrew syndrome...:D

Re: At last...it has a name
 

No, apparently you can get it at any age, it just gets more intense as you get older, isn't that right chaps?

Re: At last...it has a name
 

My son says his father-in-law, who suffers from IMS, is the roll model for Victor Meldrew. Things happen to him.

He lives in Southend and a couple of years ago a new sex-shop opened in a shopping centre nearby. There were protests and demonstrations outside the place but Alan's in-laws, out shopping, decided they'd go in and have a look to see what all the fuss was about. The shop was quite full of people and father-in-law was standing innocently looking at some items on a shelf when suddenly the door burst open and a woman stuck her head inside the shop, looked straight at him (ignoring everybody else), shouted "pervert" then slammed the door again. :D

This IMS malarkey could come in quite handy. It gives us chaps a totally legit' reason to throw teddy out of the cot, and have a hissy fit. What's even better, we can throw a strop any time we like, not just when the moon's full. ;) :D
Whether we would ever actually get away with this argument is another debate entirely. :rolleyes:

Re: At last...it has a name
 

But are there any physical symptoms?

Re: At last...it has a name
 

Yeah - wife and 2 kids!!!

Re: At last...it has a name
 

No, you won't get away with it.......:D :rolleyes: but nice try..

Re: At last...it has a name
 

Sorry Dear.
Will you take that patent leather, thigh length, steel toe-capped boot, with the six inch chromed stiletto heel out of the small of my back, please? :o

Re: At last...it has a name
 

I may be suffering with IMS, but according to todays papers, there is a newly recognised disease called FWS.........and Willow is showing all the symptoms! :eek:

Quote from the paper:
"FWS, (Forthcoming Wedding Syndrome) is a condition that afflicts a woman, previously of sound mind, who suddenly becomes so focused upon her impending nuptials that her house could be burning down and she would refuse to leave until she got her hands on the file containing well ordered correspondence with everybody from bridesmaids, registrars and hotel managers to erm, sinister nail shaping people. In fact she would step over you to rescue it"

Oh yes, whatever it is, Willow has got it!!

Is there anyone out there that has gone through this with a partner and can teach me survival techniques?:confused:

Re: At last...it has a name
 

Re: At last...it has a name
 

My husband is afflicted with this syndrome.......and has been for about the last 7 years, but it is me who suffers. When I told him about this condition he had a 'thrommer' and said huffily 'there is nothing wrong with me'
