I am in my early 30’s and have been living with PMDD, PreMenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, for about 20 years. I am married and have 4 incredible children. My husband is obviously a very devoted man, anyone who knows about, or lives with PMDD knows what I mean. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS. I just moved to South Carolina from Texas and am enjoying living close to the beach. I enjoy spending my time writing, watching my children play soccer, playing with my 2 dogs, Siberian Husky and Pekingese and working part-time at a Health Club. Not much research has been done, or is currently being done to learn about PMDD and why it affects certain women. I am very excited to be so involved helping other women learn about PMDD and how they can learn to live a healthier life even with this disorder.

I have PMS, though it probably should be considered PMDD. I have started taking Vitex Agnus Castus and it helps a lot.

Thanks cynthiablue,
That is one I haven’t heard of, I will definitely have to check it out. Is that a natural herb that you get at a natural health store?

I am pleased to know you’ll be writing on the subject of PMDD. It is still something I live with but it is 90% under control. As a matter of fact when it wasn’t I tried to kill myself. That overdose left me a heart patient for life. You are correct, very few efforts have been made to understand and help control this life altering disorder.
Thank you for your contribution
