So... does grace overlook those incidents of her mistreating people? Is it truly a medical issue?

This kind of ties in with JD's thread.

Can a person really be sanctified as she (or he) snaps and snarls at people? At least in the case of PMS one can say there is a physical cause of extreme stress and short temperedness, etc.

But where does God draw the line between an "oopsie", and backsliding?

I live in a household of women.

Teenagers who are pretty cheerful, and my wife doesn't demonstrate any odd behavior when it was that time of the month. Never met any women out or in the church who had any sort of odd behavior due to their cycle. I have met many men who have exhibited behavior like they were having a period.
