Grrrrrrrr

After 1 week of migraines, followed by 1 week of bad IBS. My PMDD has finally kicked in, so i have two weeks of that to look forward to before my bleed. If i even bleed on time this month.I'm slightly annoyed my GP surgery keep trying to put me onto Beconase, still. I will not destroy my health to save the NHS 25 pounds. They can change the system so that i can make a donation to cover the costs. Private health care in this country sucks and they charge twenty times the price the NHS would charge. Privatising health care is pretty much the worst mistake any country could every make. In America, they charge you 40 quid for one aspirin at the hospital!

Apart from that, everything is going well tho. My manager has stopped bullying me for the time being and i love my new flat. It's just a shame that myself and thousands of other women will carry on struggling with this disorder, their entire lives, most of them barely holding down jobs because of it. But PMDD will continue to be ignored by pharmaceutical companies, because they are run by men! And lets face it, we still live in an extremely sexist society, despite great leaps.

I've had 1 symptom free day this month from physical symptoms. I'm fairly sure that my migraines are oestrogen-withdrawal migraines now, i didn't make the connection before because menstrual migraine is supposed to occur on two days before your period. But oestrogen is low for first ten days of cycle which coincides with when i get the migraines and also mid-cycle. And I think i'm intolerant to all grains now, mostly during the last part of my cycle. I'm going to keep charting using OvuView App which is brilliant and helped me spot the pattern very easily.

I've been taking red clover extract and Maca powder this month. The Maca may be helping as my mood has been ok for the last week since i started it. Will see.

I'm getting slightly sick of health 'professionals' suggesting that this condition is stress related as i'm not stressed right now, work is very easy, and my IBS and migraines are at their worst. Explain that please?? Doctors just make people angry which makes their problems worse. I'm avoiding my surgery now (even tho i need to discuss my symptoms) to avoid feeling upset.
