i have PMDD and i know how bad it sucks!! i have been on yaz and yasmin and they both helped me sooooo much. as far as trying to explain it to people, i dont let it bother me if they dont sympathize or dont get it. you cant expect someone to understand something they have never expierenced.... it does suck when they think we are just using PMDD as an excuse to complain or `pretend` to be sick, but thats THEIR problem, not ours, we have REAL problems lol

My MIL thougjht that I used it as an excuse for various things. The funny thing about Yaz is that it hasn`t been tested/proven to help PMDD after three months of usage. It`s on the pamphlet that comes with it!!! Nobody that I know has undermined it (to my face, at least)

One thing I`ve found that does help is taking Vitamin B and Magnesium supplements along with a mult-vitamin. It really helps with the cramps and hormone levels during that time of the month.

omg yes. PMDD runs in my family. I have 3 older sisters and out 3 out of 4 of us suffer from it. It`s nice that I have them to talk to about it but people who just don`t understand.. especially my husband! really just piss me off. I can`t take BC or use anything with added hormones because I will be an emotional wreck. I`ve tried YAZ but that made it worse too which is weird cause it`s suppose to help with PMDD symptoms. But I totally hear where you`re coming from. It`s annoying when other women think they know what they`re talking about.
