Re: Severe PMS

[Anonymous]

I had minor PMS a few days before after I had babies. I’ve had Toxic Shock way back when I was 19 so there is no way I can use anything put inside like a Mirena or IUD. I had a tubal when I was 39 and so just dealt with the heavy periods and minor PMS. Then I started bleeding for 3 weeks straight and having night sweats and hot flashes. Last summer at age 45 I had severe abdominal pain that put me in the ER and it was determined that I had ovarian cysts that blew up like a balloon and then exploded. The pain caused me to miss a ton of work and I had this once and then after a few months had it 2 months in a row. This is due to menopause and issues with not ovulating correctly. The Dr put me on constant estrogen bc. I take a pack and start with a new pack skipping the sugar pill week. I wanted all my stuff yanked out. But, they wanted to try something less drastic. Thus far it’s working and I have an extra positive of not having periods although my body breaks through and bleeds a little every once in a while. The night sweats and hot flashes have almost completely went away too.
