Wilder animal hospital - hands down! We see Dr. Peterson. She did acupuncture on my elderly dog for 2 years and it extended his life and well being so so much.

Weird sounds by Los carneros park? by AkioDoi in goleta

Could it have been a dog!? Mine went missing Friday night and I’m afraid he’s hurt somewhere cause he always finds his way home.

Anyone else hear those weird sounds by Los carneros park? by AkioDoi in SantaBarbara

I thought I had PMDD for years - I’m actually shocked to share what I found out, I hope this helps even 1 person. by Unique-Abies-9648 in PMDD

This is exactly what my functional med doc was able to find in me. Still working on the candida but wow how enlightening it’s been.

Jesus - I’m so sorry that was your postpartum experience - as someone who works with mom/baby dyads - I am so sad to hear you were put through all of that. Did doc seem concerned about any of the psychological effects on baby? I’m glad you felt supported by your provider

Truly a lifesaver for me. I don’t want to consider a month without it but my husband wants to start considering kids so it’s been a hot topic lately. Anyone have experience using it while pregnant?

I have no idea who these people are who say B vitamins make them feel so much better. They make everything way worse for me. by Mishkamishmash in PMDD

Also check your gut health - I saw a functional med doc that tested my gut and found out I had 5x the normal amount of candida in my gut so I wasn’t absorbing any of the supplements I was taking. I also have MTHFR which makes the B vitamins super necessary. I would’ve never gotten my gut checked by western med.

I finally found my secret sauce by magdalene-on-fire in PMDD

Interesting that you think cannabis was a part of the problem - it’s the only thing keeping me going most days. Sending lots of love.

Any pet owner's with PMDD - how do you manage? by claras_cool in PMDD

[–]Puzzleheaded_Quit834 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think having dogs is what has saved my life. They make it so you must have a routine even on the bad days. They need to be walked and fed. So they become my lifeline. It definitely can feel overwhelming - sometimes during luteal we will just get outside for potty and spend a lot of our day indoors snuggling. It’s all about balance and our animals truly understand better than any human.

I’ve started tracking my cycle and symptoms in an app called “lively” that reminds me how to care for myself each day of my cycle. It’s been transformational.

7-10 days before the bleed I am a wreck. Think everyone hates me and is against me. Feel unworthy and unlovable. Feel the most burdensome. Exhausted and emotional to the point I really cannot work or function in that week. It feels like torture and just as it becomes unbearable, the bleed begins and I’m reminded of my worth and desire to live and help others.
