I have only recently found out about this disorder and have yet to be diagnosed by a professional as I can not find one in my area that has heard of it. Now that I know what this is it has turned my life upside down. I had felt so alone for so many years and thought I was just going crazy, now I know I am not alone.
I have very low lows as you all do and tend to run to bed to try and get past the days as quickly as possible! I have had symptons since my teens but when I had my 1st son at 17 it started to get worse, after two more children and a tubal ligation I am at breaking point each month. I start symtoms around two weeks before my period starts that thankfully ease off after the 1st day or two but since my tubal ligation I now have an extreamly heavy painfull period and I am miserable because of it so I have 3 weeks of every month where I am suffering and 1 fantastic week when my family get me back. I am heartbroken for my children and husband as understanding as he is this is no way for us to live.
I am still on the hunt for a doctor but find it hard to start my story over and over with the same answer each time - this is just PMS every woman deals with it and you need to find your way to deal with it too!!! This is not the answer, it can't be.
