anybody listening
My daughter (16) just started experiencing this last month. She is in complete misery, and I feel terrible that there's not a thing I can do to help her.
I have had this same problem for many years, except that recently I went on the contraceptive pill for around 18 months. My 2-week PMS disappeared, so that instead of two weeks of fuzzy brain, fatigue, sore throat, tenderness etc., I had much milder symptoms for only about two days. Cramping was much less severe too. I noticed another woman here said the same - that the pill helped her a lot, and her general mood was better. Life is so much lighter when you don't spend 2 weeks of each month in a daze.
Two months ago I went off the pill and here I am hunting around on the internet for help after getting my period last week and feeling feverish, tired, and unable to function for over a week. I'm tempted to go back on the pill except I think I need to go to a doctor to find out if there's anything underlying in my hormonal functioning that needs looking at.
