15 months post op from total hysterectomy + BSO for PMDD (Sept 2020)

In May 2019 I underwent a total hysterectomy and BSO for treatment resistant PMDD, 15 months on and I have been having a few problems, here's my update.
I chose to share my story to help others feel less alone 💚
This is my journey and mine alone, told from my perspective, in my words.

You have given me hope in my journey with pmdd. I'm starting the chemically induced menopause next week. I have never been more excited to start this process and no longer live with pmdd. Thank you for your videos ❤

[@anastasiamurawski6179]

Could you tell me more about chemically induced menopause. I suffer from PMDD and am considering all options. Thanks.

[@ashleyficklin9238]

So happy for you. Thanks for sharing I've been suffering severely from PMDD for 5 years recently complicated by death a loved one. Almost impossible to work and feeling like I have the flu every month. Not living at all! It's been difficult to get my OBGYN to clear me. Left office in tears last time.

I have the same issue it's hell!!

[@Intelwalk2]

I’m so glad to hear your doing better. I had a BSO yesterday for my pmdd. I hope my outcome is as good as yours.

[@pmdd-vlogger8873]

Good luck with your healing, remember you can only heal right first time once, be patient. Also try not to be disheartened if it takes a while to get your levels stable post op, this is completely normal, healing physically and moreover emotionally takes time. Be kind and patient with yourself . Best wishes xx

How are you now Luv? I pray your happy and thriving ❤❤❤❤

PMDD is really taken everything from me. The RAGE is TOO MUCH!

[@Marenbirgittesvare]

[@bevganley3492]

[@samhatz8345]

I can’t take anti depressants or go hormones, tried a yam hormonal patch no good all make me worse. I am 5 days away from period. I am under gynae there phoning this month. They mentioned the oestrogen patch.

Good luck

Thanks for the update. Are you on SSRI's?

[@pmdd-vlogger8873]

Yup 20mg fluoxetine - questionable as to if I still need it, half the month I think I do, half the month I think I don't haha! However remained on it as until hormones / everything else is stable I don't want to change other variable such as coming off long term meds 👍

Hi did you gain weight after the hysterectomy

[@pmdd-vlogger8873]

Yup! But surgery gave me a life I could not have even dreamed of pre-op, so I am a lot happier and less distressed 😊 The weight gain wasn't ideal but I'll take it if it means that I am the happiest, healthiest, most authentic version of myself.
