DawnMN73 Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Hello I just realized that i may have severe PMS. I am a totally different person the week or 2 before my period. I did a lot of research online & thats when I read about PMDD, a premenstral disorder & the symptoms are exactly what i have each month. Anyone else have PMDD?
destination_unknown Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Don't know that i would be considered clinical or anything but I get symptoms. Alternate months I will either get back pain and stomach cramps that are severe for only 1 day (I'm lucky!) or the other month I will be desolate for two days before I get my period. Crying, depressed, hate self! The silly thing is I never realise I'm like that because I'm pre-menstrual!! Seriously, it sucks for ya. I know I get off really lightly compared to some. Does the pill help for PMDD?
Outcast Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 We had a thread about this just a while ago. Do a search on LS for it. There were quite a few answers.
Author DawnMN73 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Posted August 6, 2006 Destination - Yes that is exactly what i go through the week before my period. I cry for no reason, I am so depressed & I hate everything in my life, my job, my hair, my life, everything. I read up on this & this is called severe PMS or PMDD. Outcast - Thanks for the info, but how do i do a search for this? I am not familiar with that. Can u please advise? thanks
Chinook Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 I had chemotherapy which fried my ovaries. Since then I've had very severe PMS/PMDD. I can only say that it was worse during the two months that I stopped taking Starflower oil capsules. They are supposed to be higher in the active ingredient than Evening Primrose Oil. Once I restarted them, two months later, I'm bad... but not as bad as previously. I can't take the pill either... so I don't know of any other therapeutic interventions which help.

If you are regular try writing down the dates you start, so when you start feeling blue you can look at your calendar and see if that time of the month is coming. It eases me a lot knowing I'm only this way because I'm going to be starting soon.

Scroll up until you see the Loveshack logo at the top left of your screen. Below it is a dark pink/reddish type bar with things like 'my profile' on it in white. One of them is 'search'. Just hit that (or the arrow for advanced search) and you're good to go. Here's one: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t94774/
