sue22: intersting indeed. funny i was reading about endorphins and and how they affect perception of pain and so on. i guess there are a few diff endorphines and one of them is raised by eating chocolate. the article said this could be why we crave chocolate sometimes b/c of the comfort feelings after eating it. SOOO i crave chocolate at cycle time and was thinking that maybe our endorphines are lower near and during cycle too. Hmmmm.
