PMDD

[Mxflamingnoravera]

Are there any threads on here about PMDD? I've searched but cannot find any. I'm supporting a younger woman friend who is being offered GnRH and she is scared about her appointment tomorrow and what the effects of taking this might be. She has a child with very high needs and needs to be able to manage him and herself and needs support. I'm struggling to find anything by women for women and I'm post menopause so it's difficult to apply my knowledge of HRT etc because although I still take it, I did not have PMDD.

Nb I should have added that fluoxetine or ani anti depressants are not an option for this woman- she's tried them and it was hell.

I've now found a few (I was using the wrong search method) but nothing on GnRD

GnRH !

Hi there
i am currently on Prostap injections for PMDD, what is it you’d like to know?

Hi @kawabungah it's for my (much younger) only 32 years old friend. She is very anxious about menopause symptoms that she may get if she goes ahead with GnRD. Is that what your injections are?

She's been asking me (age 62) about HRT but I didn't have PMDD or any problems with hormonal contraception.

I think her main worry is that one set of awful symptoms won't be replaced with another. She has a 7 year old child who doesn't have a school place at the moment and is a single mother. She needs to be on the ball all the time because her child has diagnoses of ADHD, PDD and possibly autism- he is a handful and very anxious and she needs to be able to be very consistent and stable to model good emotional regulation, which is hard with PMDD.

Any insight I think would be helpful. Thanks 🙏

Thank you@kawabungah I will share this with my friend.
