> Unfortunately, in this day and age, doctors often need to be affronted and put back on a human level before they can REALLY treat YOU as an individual - not a symptom.Hi Everyone! I just started peaking at this site about two weeks ago and I was at a low when I first posted, then thrilled because for the first time in almost two years I had a painless cycle! That was last week. I have now been on Sarafem for 3 months going on 4, and that was the first cycle with relief...however...I am at day 13 of my cycle...ovulation....and I have turned into Mrs Hyde..I am snappy, crabby, relatively just plain bitchy, and I even yelled at the baby (almost 2) 4 times yesterday....this started yesterday...I also have severe swelling in my hands and feet again, and I noticed pain and burning in my lower right abdomen yesterday...which thankfully is gone today...I am so mad about this...I thought for sure I was on the way out of this horrible mess of PMDD, I need some advice here.....I really was doing soooo good! I was productive and calm at home for almost two weeks this time and now it is just gone! I may have to retract my statement about the Sarafem...I thought it was doing really good....it has with some things and now this????
