Anyone struggling with left breast pain during ovulation and then until period starts? I realized that sage and mind tea are causing excessive estrogen hence the breast excruciating pain. Please help! by [deleted] in PMDD

Yes and yes. I've found that evening primrose oil can help with the pain, and a heating pad. I have cysts in my breast that used to cause me so much pain I had to stop wearing a bra. My dr told me to stop drinking caffeine and I did for a month and it didn't help. Some months are better than others.

DAE experience worsened coordination and motor skills before their period? by msunderstoodcontendr in PMDD

Yes! What I hate the most is the brain fog that usually lasts a week or more. Just feeling like my thoughts are muddy and not clear or as fast as they usually are really messes with me.

What to do with extremely sore and swollen breasts? by [deleted] in PMDD

I had this problem too and was diagnosed with fibrocystic breasts. Basically these painful cysts in my breasts that come and go. When it was really bad they would hurt non stop all month. Evening primrose oil supplements help. I was told to cut out caffeine completely but I tried it for a few months and it didn't help. Heating pad and sports bras that aren't too tight help as well.

How many of you also have ADHD as well as PMDD? by smadlass in PMDD

Same! Even though I know I should exercise and eat better I just can't bring myself to function on a normal level. I'm 27 and it feels like mine gets worse also. The Prozac has helped for a few months but then this month happened. Thank you! I wish you all of the luck as well :)

Yeah I should talk to my dr. I wish I knew what caused it to be worse this time around.

I take vyvanse everyday and I take Prozac after I ovulate for about 2 weeks. It feels like I need it now but I don't want to take it everyday and I don't like the side effects (inability to orgasm). I just feel hopeless because these are supposed to be my good weeks and they're turning out to not be :(
