Yep. All I know is it keeps your body functioning despite this 'stress' 'full' time of the month. I'd think of myself as the tin man, all stiff and anxious and even somewhat paranoid, and it was my oil can.
Sorry ... alternative language & knowledge isn't well-educated.
A so unfair thing = PMDD. No one would believe me for the longest time. Hope your sig-other will be understanding and acknowledge its existence.
The D for dysphoria didn't come out until after I had a TAH-BSO (everything removed), but now my gyn says he wishes he'd left one ovary.
Patches or injections worked best for me when a med is/was available in this form. Even now I have estrogen patches which I seem to go through very quickly and he called in some progesterone/testosterone cream for memory and hair loss but the progesterone made me sleepy.
There are so many options out there now that weren't then.
Get a good doc and a good book.
