5 Things No One Tells You About PMDD
- No "one-size-fits-all" solution. Many ways to treat it.
- YOU know best.
- You'll still be human. (Even after you find a good treatment, you'll have ups and downs to deal with.)
- Doctors are not well versed in pmdd.
- Resilience and Support make the biggest difference.
Take Aways
- When looking for solutions to pmdd, be aware that a lot of people online are selling something.
- What works for them might not work for you.
- What didn't work for them might work for you!
- To build trust that YOU KNOW BEST, consider what has given you a good result in the past.
- You are going to have emotional roller coasters in your life even when your pmdd is under control.
- Learn and utilize tools of well-being
- PMDD has been in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental Illnesses) since 2013. Many doctors still don't know much about it.
- Be prepared to say "yes" and "no" to treatments your doctor recommends. YOU ARE THE EXPERT ON YOU.
- If you choose surgery, have a total hysterectomy WITH bilateral sapling oophorectomy. This includes removal of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and/or fallopian tubes. You'll probably need some HRT afterwards.
- Dr. Peter Schmidt with the National Institute of Health is looking into the causes of pmdd, the treatments for it, and genetic factors affecting it.
- Don't feel guilty for not being able to tap into your usual resilience when your pmdd symptoms are active. This is normal for that time.
- Build support systems! This includes you, your husband, your friends, and your family.
