I was diagnosed with this condition last year and have been trying to manage the symptoms through diet and am resisting drugs as I personally dont like taking them! Whilst the monthly pain is manageable - I get severely depressed one week before my period and cry at practically anything! I just feel like staying in bed half the time and with 3 young kids its no joke! I am on my own quite a lot and DH works mega long hours - feel quite isolated does anyone else suffer from this? and has anyone found a solution?
