PMSD/PMDD
Doesn't
that little fairy above look like she's suffering from PMS? She looks as if she
is daring someone to cross her lines. :) I've always said that what we need in
the USA is a woman president who is PMSing. That would take care of all the
idiocy of the world real quick. lol Ok, don't slam me for that little comment.
But just think about it...when a woman is PMSing no one wants to cross her path.
Just think if that PMS was magnified 100%. What do you think would happen? Pure
chaos. And that is what women with PMSD/PMDD go through. Premenstrual
Stress Disorder, better known as Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, is PMS
magnified. Luckily it only occurs during the PMS period. If this disorder hung
on like other disorders, just think about all the mega bitches that would be running around the world. Scary thought. I
didn't even realize I had it. I did realize, though, that my PMS was abnormal in
a little way. Things just seem to really get to me a lot more than normal. The
littlest things would set me off. The older I got the worse it got. At first I
just thought it was normal for a woman to feel that way. Until my husband made a
comment to the doctor one day. He asked her to give me something for my PMS
because it's gotten "really scary". He said that he was afraid to
sleep at night during this time, for fear I'd kill him. This
disorder is treatable. The doctor put me on Prozac and I seen a difference
immediately with the PMS. There isn't much on the web about this disorder as
doctors are still learning about it. They aren't exactly sure what the cause is,
although, one theory is that there is a lack of serotonin in the brain. So, the
most common treatment is having the patient take SSRI's. This has proven to work
with me. But with everything else, what one person has success with, the next
may not. If
you feel that you are more "bitchy" than usual, please tell your doctor.
You don't have to live like that. There is help. There
are a few sites that you can go to, to get information on PMSD/PMDD. As I find
more, I will list them. Back
