MDJunction to me

grandmasylvia"MDJ has been "a soft place to fall" for me as Dr Phil says. I have this very painful rare disease Dercum's Disease and take comfort in finding others here who share their knowledge and compassion. Many
members have helped me just by understanding my anguish and validating
my pain. We are working together to encourage research toward a cure.

I am not a doctor although wish I was. LOL All of my comments are strictly my opinion only from my own experiences. I am on no medications at the time but have taken medication in the past. So anything I say about medication is only my opinion from the experiences I have had while on medication. Never stop taking or take medication without talking to your doctor first.

Very good article Angel. I myself also keep a journal and it can make a big difference.

Also for me and this is pry odd, I have my worse pms symptoms on the last day of my period. I call them after pms symptoms. And I mean it can and has been very bad for me around this time. The worst panic attacks of the whole month have came at the end of my "EVIL TWIN" is what I call it.

Thanks for all the great articles and advice! Going to have to put some stuff on my shopping list! Looks like they sell grapeseed oil capsules. Might have to look into that. I started exercising again so hopefully that will help too. I had my therapy appt. today, and we did more biofeedback. He said especially around PMS to do two 10 minute breathing sessions a day at least.

I was a cranky anxious mess today...now I'm just tired and moody Sad. My poor husband is coming home in an hour, uh oh!! Tongue

Rflatt, I have this problem too and it also gets bad around the time I ovulate. It is basically when my hormones go up or down. I have had my hormone levels checked and everything is fine. I think those of us with anxiety tend to be extra senstive to hormones.

I know I certainly do! And I cry over the silliest little things! I just get so emotional!
May I be guided to accept others who may differ from me and always separate opinion from fact. I insist that others put the benefit of the group before anything else, regardless of a well meaning agenda. If what you say is a fact, you can back it up. If not, it's opinion and should be called that. The safety of members is paramount.

No, the Ps and Qs are fine! I sure don't feel very pretty though!
