Hmm, well I was going to guess that during that six months, you are supposed to adjust your life to the point where many of the factors leading into this are no longer a problem.
I guess I was half right. Or something like that.
I have to admit to feeling a little suspicious of this, as all I've ever heard from Doctors about it say that you are stuck with this until menopause.
I do need to thank you for your post yesterday. My wife is an internet-phobe and though she is interested and participating in this (in other words, I am not the person/reason/whatever that is forcing this down her throat, it is most definately her decision) most of the information available on PMDD is internet based, its too new for it to have a section at the local bookstore. I've been printing out various pages and yesterday's post is one of them. Feels good to see that the papers are actually being read, and stored in a neat little pile - usually if I print something out it ends up on the floor or in a corner somewhere. So, even if she isn't active on the board, she is taking information from it and evidently finding something of value there. So, thanks, long winded I know but heartfelt.
I can't believe nobody ever asked you that question before.
As for me, well, we are about to head into the first "bad time" without prozac in two years. She's doing great so far, but I can tell that we are both getting more apprehensive as Saturday comes closer, that should be when she ovulates and the mood in the house is generally good, but it has the feeling of a battlefield just before dawn. Hopefully, we are worried about nothing.
Thanks again.
