It sounds awful. Hope it's much better now xx

I had my surgery last Monday... I'm nervous for the weeks to come ... I cried almost all day around Thursday - Saturday ... didn't track cycle super close lately so idk I think it's the drastic dip that effects me more than the hormones themselves idk Feel a little better today... I am so sick of the ups n downs and so are my children family and friends.. Pretty sure I have a hernia from picking up my 9 month old and caring for my other children but I really had no choice :/ which really sucks ..I did my best to have coverage but I have 4 kids so yea ... Just trying to follow instructions the best I can give circumstances Post op appt next week... Wish me luck Thank you for sharing this video... I understand you so much . . I feel the same way about the time wasted etc and the damage I have done to my children that will affect them the rest of their lives from having three diff moms... Crying hysterical depressed n in bed ..,... Rage filled witch .... And then normal nice elated living stable... They haven't even had a good routine cus it changed .. pretty sure this is going to give me relief ... I hope so

How are you coping now?

Congratulations! Wishing you the best future 🙏🏽

Thank you for sharing . I don’t know why people are not talking about PMDD . My life is ruined because of PMDD . I am not sure how to handle it .

You have given me hope in my journey with pmdd. I'm starting the chemically induced menopause next week. I have never been more excited to start this process and no longer live with pmdd. Thank you for your videos ❤

Extremely well done . Thank you .

Mine was high. I took DIM detox to get it down and switched to bio identical hormones. The surgery has been a nightmare. I long to be who is used to be. I've not accepted the new me yet. Good luck. Hugs to you

Thank you so much, I really needed to see this. I am considering this, if only my doctor would listen to me and not only the insurance company.

How are you now Luv? I pray your happy and thriving ❤❤❤❤

Hey Emily, How did you feel with PMDD before the surgery and how has the surgery changed your life for the better?

Congratulations!! Did your anxiety go away with surgery? I was abruptly stopped on my psyche medication now pmdd is fucking insane.

Thank you so much for posting this. Did your voice ever deepened over the processed?

Hei! How did you bring this up to your doctor, how often/for how long is it planned you take it? How are your long term results

I’m so glad to hear your doing better. I had a BSO yesterday for my pmdd. I hope my outcome is as good as yours.

35 years I’ve lived with pmdd to date now in perimenopause and it’s hell, I’m hoping when I hit full blown menopause it’s easier without pmdd, my gps are clueless about pmdd only a few weeks ago I asked my doctor if her knew what pmdd was he said no , only when you’ve mentioned it then went onto ask me which doctor diagnosed me , same surgery different doctor and he was lovely he actually looked my symptoms up and I was only diagnosed 8 years ago , I’ve kept a diary for years to track my symptoms it gives me a bit ease knowing I get same symptoms same times of the month

35 years for me battling pmdd currently in perimenopause hormones all over the place, I can’t wait till I’m period free for a year and in full blown menopause and I’m pmdd free

Amazing video. Both relevant to me (soon to start chemical menopause experiments) and my job in mental health. Thank you so much for sharing. We need to be more vocal about this area of women's health.

Been diagnosed with Pmdd and have been told my androgen levels are low, getting an ultrasound tomorrow to check for pcos, lots of life things going on but glad doctor's are taking it seriously, thanks for raising awareness

I’m in perimenopause I can’t wait till full menopause so pmdd goes away 35 years I’ve battled my pmdd

I’m in peri menopause and still battling my pmdd because I’m still getting periods, I’m literally bedridden with symptoms

That’s menopause symptoms you’re getting now

My nickname was melancholy...otherwise during ovulation week I was bubbly cheerful as hell

Still cyclical? I bet it's the LH. Even without ovaries your brain raises LH extremely high because your brain is still trying to tell your body to ovulate. That's what worries me and keeps me from getting my ovaries removed.

Hi Emily, Just recently come across all your videos, one in particular that has possibly given me the missing piece/answer to my Pmdd journey, journey sounds to nice so il say journey slash suffering :( I’m in the Uk and most possibly heading towards having a total hysterectomy myself, I just wondered is there a way to contact you directly for questions, advice etc? Is this a possibility? I’m under a specialist consultant but the lack of care, help and advice has been non existent to be completely honest, it would be nice, also reassuring to engage with someone who has lived and breathed this experience first hand Hope your well :) x

I’m so pleased you finally got your diagnosis and the treatment that worked for you. I have spent many years suffering with PMDD with no diagnosis, I saw an article on it about 3 years ago and felt like I was reading about myself! I approached my GP who referred me to gynaecology and after trying various contraceptive pills to try and balance my hormones I eventually went on to GNRH agonists with add back HRT which made a huge difference. After 18 months it is no longer working for me and I’m having the laparoscopic total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo oopherectomy next week. I’m apprehensive because of the changes that may happen to my body but I know it’s for the best. Thank you for sharing your story, it has helped me to see that I am making the right choice and it will be a relief to be able to move on with my life at 45 years old

This is amazing..I've been on prostap for 15 months just had news today from my consultant that my ovary removal is going ahead soon x

I would imagine that hysterectomy also can create other issues. I guess all we can do is compare the symptoms but ultimately no one will ever know until they personally do it.

My Mum died before I had my hysterectomy and she was my world 💜🤍💜

Thank you so much I appreciate it a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 you such a brave woman! Really! Regret to regret.. you did the right thing. I hope you doing well 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. ❤

Im 39 but was diagnosed with PMDD at 19. PMDD is a Nightmare! Feels like Im a 'Jekyl & Hyde'.. Mind you I already have Social Anxiety, PTSD & Major Depression. The Week before my menstrual feels like Im Losing my mind. I feel extremely aggressive full of Rage(thats not me), Anti-Social(I dont want to talk to nobody not even my family), Isolation, Crying Spells, Suicidal, Self Harm, Binging on Food or P.I.C.A(Chalk or Sandlike Substances) Obsessive thoughts of Death & other Bad things, Extremely Fatigued, Easily Confused, Memory Problems and so forth. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy! I don't recognize the person I am on PMDD, sort of like a stranger takes over my body. Its like temporary Bi-polar disorder. So glad people are talking about this because for a long time I felt all a lone and some Doctors aren't knowledgeable about PMDD so they brush it off like its nothing. Thank You for this!

Have any of you had complications with post-partum hysterectomies? I have PMDD and am cautious of ever having kids for the likened possibility of post-partum depression. So I was thinking if I do find I want a child, have a post-partum hysterectomy. Mostly so I can show up for my child 100%. Anyone have experience with that procedure? Thanks in advance

Emily, You have kept me going through my pmdd and hysterectomy… you’ve no idea of the impact you’ve had… how can I DM you?!

Thank you for sharing and raising awareness. #notalone #pmdd

Hi 🙂 Ok 2 questions that i would like to ask you are 1. Did you have migrene more often before the surgery than after the surgery? 2. You said your moods are better now. How do the symptoms affect your mood now when you still get these symptoms that you were talking about? I guess before the surgery the moods got influenced more by the symptoms. How is it now? Do the symptoms have a smaller affect on your moods? Thank you and be well

Hi. Could you please tell me what you said after "laparoscopic hysterectomy" Subtitles dont seem to always work correctly.

Glad you're being better. At the moment i am searching for a pmdd specialist in germany... But until now... No success. No gyn here seems to have a profession about pmdd.

Omg sounds just like me.

Thank you 🙏

I went through all of this. I would love to chat sometime

So happy you’re feeling like this now! You deserve it xx

This is amazing! I’m having a hysterectomy in a month I don’t know if they’re taking my ovaries though. I have pmdd and adenomyosis so. It sure what they’re doing, I’ll find out soon enough

5 years and can still not regulate my hormones... It is a trade off and not a cure. I do regret having it all taken away at 37... It's not the answer to severe pmdd in my case. Grief is huge but I did not want anymore kids*.... I relate and I am extremely sad about it... Really angry,a waste of my life since I was 10. All the gas lighting all the no one knows what's happening or generally cares. No one cares where I am or how I feel.... That's painful ....

How exciting!

So hard, as a Canadian, to understand the cockney accent

Wow <3 Thank you so much for your advocacy and your courage in sharing this! I am so happy that you were able to find a solution and live a good life.

Have you heard of Dr Louise Newson? She's a wonderful menopause doctor. She has lots of useful information on her website.She explains that women produce 3-4 times more testosterone than Estrogen and it massively helps with fatigue, cognition and confidence. All the best with your healing x

So happy for you. Thanks for sharing I've been suffering severely from PMDD for 5 years recently complicated by death a loved one. Almost impossible to work and feeling like I have the flu every month. Not living at all! It's been difficult to get my OBGYN to clear me. Left office in tears last time.

I doing it too. I have too because I'm thinking suicide and am sorry my daughter who's only two has a mother like me. I know I hurt her with the withdrawing, and yelling, rage. 34 years of this starting at 11. I want out!
