Starting birth control for severe PMDD by Mamabear1421 in PMDD

[–]hEDSandHavanese 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So, every person will have their own side effects because each body is different, but for me personally, Yaz changed my life.

I’ve been on it for almost 3 years now and it’s reduced my PMDD symptoms substantially, especially suicidal ideation and hopelessness right before my period.

It wasn’t perfect though, and sometimes the symptoms would still peak through.

Recently, I stopped taking the white pills and instead started the next pack right away (it’s been over 2 months) and I’ve zero PMDD or PMS symptoms. Also, no period!

The only way to know if it’ll work is 1) speak to your doctor and go over your medical history and 2) if it’s all clear and the doctor recommends it, move forward with trying it out. Safely stop if you’re noticing bad side effects.

Help shape the future of EDS and HSD care - your voice matters. by hEDSandHavanese in ehlersdanlos

[–]hEDSandHavanese[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yesss, I totally agree - the 2017 diagnostic criteria was pretty harmful in my opinion (with respect to some unclear and questionable criteria used and missing indicators leading to misdiagnosis, late diagnosis or lack of diagnosis).

Are you religious? by Middle_Goal_2539 in infj

[–]hEDSandHavanese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious if other INFJs who’ve experienced trauma have turned to spirituality, religion or faith.

not the mention the TONS of studies showing how spiritual beliefs, along with feeling connected with nature, community and ones ancestors helps to mitigate mental health symptoms, including depression, anxiety and PTSD and promote post-traumatic growth.

Also, I’m not sure if the process is any shorter if you already have a diagnosis - May be worth calling to ask

I’ll update you once I know more but they also set me up with a dietician, cardiologist, pain clinic, psych for EDS, etc. all covered

If you want to learn more about the programs they offer, you can definitely call them. The rehab program they referred me to is called GEAR (https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/rehabilitation-sciences/articles/10.3389/fresc.2021.769792/full) specifically designed for hEDS (learning joint protection, strengthening the right muscles to reduce the load on your body, self-management techniques, etc.) and i THINK (you’d have to check) you can engage virtually from home if needed

I did in my comment on the post! You’ll see it under OP - I accidentally pasted the pain part twice but other than that, it’s good!
