No, these are not normal period symptoms, and if you’re experiencing them, you may have PMDD. 💜 #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsymptom #pmddcommunity #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth

Now I know, these things (along with my PMDD), were due to genetic factors that psych could do NOTHING about. Also… Mind you, I had been in therapy for 5 yrs at this point. Their response to that… I need a new psych dr 🙄 Don’t get me wrong - if you have PMDD, you absolutely should be in therapy. But it’s not going to address the other various mechanisms that are contributing to our symptoms. And we can let these doctors toss us around because they don’t want to do their job. 😒👊🏻💜 #pmdd #pmddawareness #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #adhdinwomen #afabadhd #chronicillness #onthisday

(Im fully aware of my chronic lack of rhythm 😅💃🏻) The natural ways we can address our PMDD should be seen as top priority. It’s all about getting to the root cause of the mechanisms driving our PMDD episodes. 💜Here are five of the most effective natural strategies for managing PMDD by targeting its underlying mechanisms: 1. Reduce Inflammation & Support Hormonal Balance 💜 Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods rich in omega-3s (fatty fish, flaxseeds), antioxidants (berries, leafy greens), and anti-inflammatory spices (turmeric, ginger). 💜 Limit Pro-Inflammatory Foods: Reduce processed foods, refined sugars, alcohol, and excessive dairy, which can contribute to inflammation and worsen symptoms. 💜 Balance Blood Sugar: Stable blood sugar helps regulate mood. Eat protein, fiber, and healthy fats with meals to prevent energy crashes and hormonal disruptions. 2. Support Neurotransmitter Health 💜 Increase Magnesium & B Vitamins: Magnesium (found in leafy greens, nuts, and seeds) helps with mood stabilization and nervous system regulation. B6 is especially important for serotonin production. 💜 Optimize Serotonin Levels: Get natural sunlight, exercise regularly, and consume tryptophan-rich foods (turkey, eggs, nuts) to support serotonin production. 💜 Reduce Caffeine & Alcohol: Both can worsen anxiety, disrupt sleep, and contribute to neurotransmitter imbalances. 3. Manage Stress & Regulate the HPA Axis 💜 Daily Stress-Reduction Practices: Meditation, deep breathing, yoga, or journaling can help regulate cortisol levels and reduce PMDD-related anxiety. 💜 Adaptogenic Herbs: Ashwagandha, rhodiola, or holy basil may help support adrenal function and reduce stress. 💜 Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep, as poor sleep can worsen PMDD symptoms by increasing inflammation and stress hormone production. 4. Support Gut Health & Histamine Regulation 💜 Probiotics & Prebiotics: A healthy gut microbiome supports mood regulation and reduces inflammation. Eat fermented foods (kimchi, yogurt) and fiber-rich foods (vegetables, legumes). 💜 Manage Histamine Sensitivity: If histamine intolerance is a trigger, reduce high-histamine foods (aged cheese, processed meats, alcohol) and focus on foods that stabilize mast cells (quercetin, vitamin C). 5. Track Symptoms & Align Lifestyle with Your Cycle 💜 Cycle Tracking: Identify patterns in symptoms to anticipate and prepare for your PMDD window. 💜 Adjust Activities & Nutrition Accordingly: Prioritize rest and self-care during the luteal phase while scheduling more demanding tasks earlier in the cycle. 💜 Experiment & Personalize Your Approach: PMDD is unique for everyone, so fine-tune your strategy based on what works best for your body. These strategies work best when combined with an overall balanced lifestyle, and while they won’t “cure” PMDD, they can significantly reduce symptom severity and improve overall well-being. #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #pmddtreatment #pmsproblems #medicalgaslighting #womenshealth #afabhealth #greenscreen

Replying to @thoughtful.and.chaotic Was my oophorectomy for PMDD worth it? For me, absolutely. ✨ But it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Understanding your body and advocacy for proper HRT is key—because the surgery alone isn’t what makes it work. It just takes away the biggest internal trigger. But now I feel much more in control of my life… in SO MANY ways. 🙌🏻 #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #womenshealth #afabhealth #menopause #adhdinwomen #afabadhd #autisminwomen #afabautistic

Replying to @johnny You seem like a gem. Let me correct you - SHE gave YOU 5 kids… Poor gal. I hope she finds my page so she knows where she can find REAL support and love. 💜 I stand by what I said. 🥰 #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #womenshealth #afabhealth #womenshealthmatters #toxicrelationships #emotionalabuse #toxicmen

Replying to @Avery PMDD is deeply connected to the interplay between hormones, histamine, and inflammation. Estrogen increases histamine, which not only affects mood and anxiety but also triggers inflammation throughout the body. When progesterone drops, histamine surges, worsening these effects. This cycle can lead to widespread symptoms like brain fog, joint pain, fatigue, and heightened emotional sensitivity. Understanding this connection helps explain why many people with PMDD experience both mental and physical symptoms, and why antihistamines can sometimes provide relief. I’m working on a printout on all of this information (including graphics 😍) which I think will help to understand these mechanisms and how they’re all connected! Sorry I’m so blah… a lot happening in life at the moment. 😵💫💜 #pmdd #pmddawareness #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #histamineintolerance #histaminesensitivity

Repost! I’ll be posting drafts and some older videos over these next couple of days, while I say goodbye to my grandfather. Appreciate any words of encouragement and positivity over this next week! I’ll be back to you guys, and myself, soon. 💜💜💜 PMDD can make everything feel like a disaster, but sometimes the smallest wins—like your tea being the right temperature or a good song—can make a difference. Focus on those. They count. ✨ #pmdd #pmddawareness #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddtreatment #pmddwarrior #pmddcommunity #mindfulness #mentalhealthmatters

Replying to @its_meag_hi This is a great question! PMDD isn’t just about ovaries. Even without them, my body still reacts to hormones, deficiencies, metabolic issues, and trauma. It’s all interconnected, which is why ongoing treatment is still necessary. PMDD is more than a hormone problem—it’s a complex physical response. #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmsproblems #pmddcommunity #chronicillness #womenshealth #afabhealth

Replying to @kellyblackman88 PMDD symptoms show up after pregnancy? Here’s why that happens! 💜 #pmdd #pmddawareness #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmddsymptom #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth

Replying to @Shana McKay We shouldn’t be so in the dark and alone in terms of ✨medical✨ care for a neuroendocrine disorder. These types of disorders are notoriously ignored in women/afab and dismissed as psychiatric issues, prolonging suffering and keeping them from receiving necessary diagnoses and treatments. PMDD requires a multidisciplinary approach. Therapy is a tool, but we also need doctors who take the medical side of this disorder seriously. Have you experienced this cycle of dismissal? Let’s talk about it. 💜✨ #pmdd #pmddawareness #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmddwarrior #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #medicalgaslighting

Replying to @Jaz & Friends Standard blood tests can miss B vitamin issues in people with MTHFR, COMT, and methylation mutations. ✅ Serum folate may look normal but can be unusable due to folic acid buildup. ✅ B12 tests don’t show functional levels—MMA or holoTC is more accurate. ✅ Homocysteine can reveal methylation issues even if folate/B12 appear “normal.” To get the right testing, you can: 🔬 Use Nutrahacker to analyze your genetic mutations and find out your methylation status. 🧬 Order tests like MMA, holoTC, and homocysteine to understand your true B vitamin levels. If you have brain fog, fatigue, mood swings, or hormone imbalances, regular tests may miss the issue—methylfolate and the right B12 form might be your key! #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #adhdinwomen #afabadhd #pmddcommunity #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #bvitamins #mthfr #neurodivergent

I’m still gaslit about this, even with all the knowledge I have… they tell me it’s all impossible. Because that’s literally just easier to doctors than actually looking into what our bodies are doing. #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #medicalgaslighting #womenshealth #afabhealth #pmsproblems

(REPOST) Our ✨bodies✨ cycle. Not just our uterus, and not just our ovaries! But the ovaries are the biggest contributor to hormone fluctuations. If your cycle affects you beyond endometriosis pain, removing the uterus won’t stop that. You’ll still be affected, you just won’t know when it’s happening unless you’re tracking your symptoms closely. #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #pmddtreatment #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #hysterectomy #onthisday

Replying to @Mary Katherine Bollero Even after removing my ovaries, I can still experience PMDD-like symptoms because the underlying sensitivities that caused PMDD haven’t changed. The difference now I’m no longer at the mercy of my ovaries. While adjusting HRT can still cause fluctuations, it’s much easier to find stability without my cycle constantly throwing things off. It takes time, but the goal is steady hormones and finally feeling like myself again! #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmddwarrior #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #pmddtreatment

Replying to @johnny Filmed this before you just called me a narcissist… I’m sorry you struggle with patience and couldn’t wait for me to get this sooner… I’m not a narcissist, it just takes me time to answer every little question for every man out there who can’t do anything in their own. Because while you’re busy in my comment section having a tantrum, you could have gone on my page at any point and educated yourself on PMDD, since I’m so0o0o0o overly “focused” on it. 🧐😊 #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #womenshealth #afabhealth #womenshealthmatters #pmddpartner #narcissisticrelationship
