Hey everybody. I'm new here. I'm trying to figure out what exactly this is (I'm thinkin pmdd) but when I get my period I have panic attacks, it gets really hard to breathe, my head starts throbbing, I feel hungry all the time, abdominal pain is UNBEARABLE (so much that I can hardly walk), I get dizzy when I do try to stand up, my lower back KILLS (the pain starts on my lower right side and shoots up so I cant bend over to pick up anything and I can hardly bend over to pull up my jeans), I cry nonstop for three hours straight, I get really shaky, and then I start wanting to yell at people. If you know what this could be, please let me know. It's driving me nuts =)

yeep! sounds crazy, see a doctor!

I went to see a doctor about the lower back pain but I never really tied it in with my period till later, so I went back and told the doctor it could possibly be because of my period and she said it was normal and sent me home with simple pain killers. I just now looked at a pmdd website and all the symptoms look about right, mine are just more severe. =)

Well what I meant was see an ob/gyn about it. There are lots of medications these days that can help you.

yes... sounds like PMDD (which is basically very severe PMS). Talk to your gyno, and if s/he doesn't take you seriously, for heaven's sake switch doctors! b/c pills might help (then again for some people they don't; some people here have horror stories from them but i love mine), anti-depressive-type meds might help, and there's more out there that i haven't mentioned or don't know about either. bottom line: you shouldn't have to deal with this shit!

good luck!
