“Doing wonderfully well...”
Tamara had struggled with PMDD all her adult life, taking hormonal birth control and antidepressant meds for years to treat her depression and hormonal imbalance. On reaching perimenopause her symptoms only worsened, and she realized she needed something altogether different. She e-mailed us recently to share how the Women to Women approach has improved her outlook, and how much better she is feeling today...
“I have had hormonal problems (PMDD) since my mid 20’s and on, and taking antidepressants and different forms of hormonal birth control for them. After the birth of my second child at age 37, I had a Mirena IUS placed, which helped to a point — I still had problems, but not so bad.
“After turning 40 this year I began waking up in the mornings feeling at my worst. It took me a while to figure out that my hormones were out of control again. I was at wit’s end, and decided to make an appointment to get back on antidepressants — which I hated more than anything because of other side effects I would have to be dealing with.
“I prayed for a cure for this mess, when one day I was searching for a new antidepressant to take for my imbalance when I came upon your website. The headline read, ‘The truth about antidepressants,” so I read it. I knew antidepressants were not good for me, but I learned so much more from what I read, including how other issues such as eating right and taking vitamins can help with hormones.
“I spoke to my husband about doing this program he thought it looked okay — he was as desperate as I was to find a cure!
“I have been doing wonderfully well on the Program. I don’t feel balled-up and depressed, and my thinking is clearer. My husband can tell that it is working, too. I had some temptations during the holidays with the eating plan, but I will have no problem getting it right now that the holidays are over. I have and will continue to tell others about this Program and how well it works!”
