Thanks Jenn,
One slow step at a time, LOL!

I started a week and a half early, I am assuming because of the procedure, so I’m not doing so bad. :)

Thanks for the high 5! Off the meds is different, but I am hanging in there.
My appt made me start a week and a half early so maybe that’s someone watching over me (while off meds, LOL)

I hope all is going great for you!

Hi Stef, just wanted to wish you well with your recovery. So brave to take yourself off your meds! Also wanted to add it’s really important for women to be aware that physical pain should not to be attributed to PMDD. I know the clinical criteria for PMDD includes physical symptoms, but these only refer to the normal physical side effects of PMS (so they shouldn’t really be in the PMDD criteria to begin with in my opinion). So women should always seek help, as you are, if they are in physical pain and not dismiss it or see it as part of PMDD… the pain is more likely part of a bigger picture of which PMDD is a part, but not the cause.

Anyway, good on you for paying attention to your body!
