Premenstrual Dysphoric Dysfunction (PMDD), by Jenny Potkins


After a few years of going to many docs, battling melancholy, and attempting a lot of totally different remedies together with varied antidepressants, the capsule, CBT, doing train, my melancholy wasn’t getting any higher and actually it was getting worse to the purpose the place I didn’t wish to be right here any extra. I’d instructed my GP this for a number of years and he or she had tried her finest to assist me.

I did point out on many events that my temper appeared to be associated to my month-to-month cycle, however as a result of my durations have been common, I used to be instructed it couldn’t be to do with my hormones. Having been recognized with M.E./Power Fatigue I used to be seeing a specialist nurse frequently and he or she picked up on my temper and its correlation to my month-to-month cycle and mentioned the potential of one thing known as Premenstrual Dysphoric Dysfunction (). She gave me some info to learn and instructed me to talk to my GP about it. I used to be shocked by what I learn as a result of it described me completely.

On the time I used to be additionally seeing a councillor by of a charity known as Reuben’s Retreat after my son Jack was born asleep, this counsellor additionally picked up on my temper linking with my month-to-month cycle. By the point I lastly bought referred to a Gynaecologist in October 2019 I used to be feeling suicidal for 3 weeks of the month which continued as a vicious cycle getting worse the longer it went on and I bought to the purpose of realising it had robbed my youngsters of their mum, my dad and mom of their daughter, my husband of his spouse, and me of my life.

Between October 2019 and August 2020, I had a number of appointments with my Gynaecologist, an Ultrasound Scan, and a trial of Prostap injections (chemical menopause) which I needed to cease as a consequence of them affecting my blood stress, after which I used to be positioned on the ready listing for a Hysterectomy. Through the quick time I used to be in chemical menopause I had some reduction of my PMDD signs and seen an enormous enchancment in my psychological well being which confirmed the Hysterectomy can be probably the most drastic therapy however finest resolution for me.

Throughout this time, I used to be additionally recognized with Binge Consuming Dysfunction, one other symptom of PMDD, and I really feel as a result of my PMDD was left untreated for therefore lengthy, this then become one other sickness to battle. Even the gynaecologists couldn’t assist me with this and pressured me to drop extra pounds for surgical procedure which made my consuming dysfunction worse. I really feel there must be a wider data about this and the impact of treating a affected person for one situation impacting different circumstances. This illustrates the significance of taking a full medical historical past and listening to the affected person. I had defined my consuming dysfunction to 2 consultants however wasn’t listened to or understood, which in flip made me extra poorly once I was already at all-time low. Two years handed while being on the ready listing for the consuming dysfunction remedy and I used to be instructed I had been taken off the ready listing for my surgical procedure due to my excessive BMI. The Gynaecologist coping with my PMDD acknowledged that as gynaecologist they don’t seem to be skilled in psychological well being particularly concerning the ideas of suicide. While I perceive this to a degree, this gynaecologist recognized PMDD so I might anticipate them to know in regards to the low temper and suicidal ideas with this situation. After reaching an all-time low I sought one other opinion albeit paying privately to see one other guide. All I can say is I lastly felt I used to be being listened to and being spoken to in an trustworthy and open approach. I consider he has saved my life!

He recommended attempting Zoladex injections to once more put me into chemical menopause. After I instructed him about my expertise with Prostap he stated I might have been handled for the blood stress , because the facet impact might have settled in time. I used to be proud of the suggestion to strive Zoladex, and mentally it modified my life. It additionally supplied this guide with a fuller understanding of the consequences of PMDD and the way life altering it may be, to the extent that at my subsequent appointment he apologised for not understanding totally at my earlier appointment. Him being , empathetic {and professional} was all that was wanted to get me on the appropriate highway once more, however it additionally highlighted that even skilled medical professionals are usually not conscious of the total results of this situation and that is what bought me occupied with utilizing my story to lift consciousness for PMDD.

The best way I had been handled over the previous 4/5 years might’ve been averted. The trauma brought about to me mentally and bodily each day throughout this time is unforgiveable and I’m hoping by elevating some consciousness for PMDD I will help different ladies keep away from being handled the way in which I’ve been, which could hopefully save lives. It isn’t simply the impact it’s had on myself, however my youngsters are actually experiencing nervousness themselves. I do have fairly a posh medical historical past so there are numerous components which have contributed to this, however this situation and the way in which I’ve been handled have performed a large half. I even have a situation known as Mast Cell Activation Dysfunction and hormones also can have an effect on this inflicting flare ups and even anaphylaxis, so getting management of my PMDD will hopefully have a optimistic impact and assist this situation as effectively, however I additionally suppose this reveals what a dramatic influence hormones can have on our our bodies, each mentally and bodily.

Understanding how a lot the Zoladex injections helped my PMDD the subsequent plan of action was to as soon as once more be listed for a Hysterectomy. The guide referred me again to the NHS as he knew I used to be struggling financially to pay for my injections. He did attempt to get my GP to prescribe however they refused as a result of I used to be seeing him privately which added to the burden of my state of affairs by means of no fault of my very own, and he was very understanding about this and couldn’t have referred me to a extra , understanding, and caring guide at Manchester Basis Belief. Between each of those consultants I began to achieve a little bit belief and hope throughout the medical setting once more. He agreed to do my Hysterectomy and oversee my Zoladex injections while on his ready listing. I had two pre-ops, one with a nurse and one with an Anaesthetist, and so they have been additionally very understanding and supportive with my journey and medical historical past up up to now.

October 2023 got here and the day of my surgical procedure. As you’ll be able to think about I used to be very anxious and scared, as I think about most individuals can be, however after my journey I believe my nervousness was amplified. I’m pleased to say the day of my surgical procedure couldn’t have gone any higher and that is all right down to the caring guide and his group that taken care of me and thought of each risk as a consequence of my advanced well being points, which was simply what I wanted. I actually felt cared for with a lot of belief. I awoke from surgical procedure feeling so pleased, which was a reduction after all of the years of trauma. I couldn’t consider it was lastly throughout! For about 6 weeks I felt superb each mentally and bodily. I couldn’t consider how effectively I used to be, and it wasn’t simply me that seen. My household couldn’t consider the distinction, as they anticipated me to really feel worse after my surgical procedure while I used to be in restoration. I don’t know if this was from the surgical procedure itself or simply the pure reduction that it was throughout with! I used to be so grateful to be feeling the way in which I used to be and so optimistic in regards to the future!

Round 6/7 weeks after my Hysterectomy I began to really feel like my PMDD signs have been coming again, so for the subsequent few weeks I attempted to be affected person with myself and thought it was simply a part of my restoration, however it was inflicting me misery on the thought my PMDD had returned, so I had an appointment with my GP who then realised I hadn’t been placed on any HRT as a consequence of a letter despatched by my guide being missed. I ought to’ve been placed on HRT 6 weeks after my surgical procedure and we have been about 16 weeks after my Hysterectomy at this level. My GP put me on patches immediately however after a couple of months they didn’t appear to be serving to so I used to be moved on to a gel which did assist a little bit. If solely I might really feel how I did through the 6 weeks after my surgical procedure, it was so refreshing and good! It’s now January 2025 and I’m nonetheless battling what seems like PMDD however not on the identical scale as earlier than my surgical procedure which remains to be a optimistic. I really feel my HRT simply isn’t proper or isn’t . I’ve been to my GP a number of occasions asking for blood checks to examine my hormone ranges however this isn’t one thing they’d do. I used to be discharged from the hospital in Might 2024 with the surgical procedure going effectively and my wounds therapeutic properly and was instructed to be affected person with the HRT and get my GP to assist me with this. So once more, I discover myself misplaced and having to attempt to determine this out by myself!

I really feel getting the HRT proper is such an essential and really difficult a part of the affected person’s restoration and therapy following surgical procedure. Extra help is required for sufferers at this level of their journey and it requires care and compassion to get the affected person heading in the right direction, possibly with a menopause nurse/clinic to assist consultants. By way of my PMDD consciousness with the hospital, that is one thing we now have mentioned, and from this I’ve spoken to a menopause nurse, had blood checks and have a observe up appointment subsequent month. Inside in couple of weeks I bought the outcomes of my blood checks and discovered that my oestrogen ranges have been very low so seemingly not absorbing my HRT gel which explains why I’m nonetheless struggling. If the blood check had been carried out earlier, it might’ve highlighted this and once more brought about me much less trauma.

While coping with this I’m additionally ready for trauma remedy for what I’ve been instructed is more likely to be PTSD which has been attributable to many traumatic occasions in my life together with having PMDD and I really feel the battle I’ve needed to get handled may have performed a large a part of this.

I hope now we’re getting heading in the right direction with my HRT and hopefully, beginning my Trauma Remedy quickly, I can begin feeling higher, residing my life once more and begin wanting ahead to the subsequent pleased chapter of my life.
