A while back I added Redefining Life to the title.
Why did I do this? Simple. I want to help Women change the way they look at living with PMDD. Really, to change the way Women look at living with any invisible disorder. What I mean by invisible is that friends, family and coworkers can’t ‘see’ PMDD. It’s not like a broken bone, or a scratch on your face, it’s much worse because there isn’t anything physical to show outsiders to help them understand.
One thing is for sure, it is debilitating, painful, and downright horrible unless it’s managed.
Unfortunately, managing PMDD isn’t simple, you can’t pop a magic pill, you can’t sleep it off, and you sure as heck can’t just ignore it.
To redefine your life with PMDD, or any other disorder/syndrome, you must look at what triggers make you worse. It can be foods, certain exercises, stress, lack of sleep, too much junk food or caffeine, you get the picture.
SO, hold on to your socks! This site is no longer going to just talk about PMDD, though obviously that will still be a major part. I am now going to be adding new info to this site now to help you redefine your life.
Foods and recipes that can help you relieve some of your pain (physically& emotionally).
Recipes! Yummy, my favorite. I really do enjoy cooking, for my family and friends, but I see what certain foods do to me. Yes, I had my hysterectomy in Feb. which relieved my PMDD symptoms, however, I also have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and I am lactose intolerant. So, food still plays an important role in my life, or I pay the price.
In addition to recipes, I will display pics of the final meal and post which cookbooks I use and why. All of my recipes will not be lactose-free, no one else in my family deals with this so a lot of times I will cook them something scrumptious that includes cheese or dairy products.
Exercises that won’t make you feel worse. Keep an eye out for more videos by me and awesome one’s I find online that I have tried.
