" I haven't tried Lexapro. I've really just started working with my new gyn. I have a follow up appt with her on the 18th. We'll obviously need to find something other than prozac cause the side effects were horrendous.
Right now I've got PMS like crazy. Been about 3 days now of some dizzy episodes, hot flashes, weird cravings, acne, chills, pain, etc - some of which I haven't had in years! This is my first cycle off birth control in 10 years! I'm kinda nervous haha! I haven't had acne in forever!
I also have my ultrasound tomorrow to rule out polycystic ovaries. I'm nervous about it but I don't know why. Like I know exactly what to expect and all - the procedure doesn't scare me - I know it won't be fun but whatever. But I'm crazy anxious about it - ugh, anxiety and PMS - kinda sucks right now! "

" Yes. I was yelling at my family last night - it's like a sauna in here. I have a noticed a direct relationship between these symptoms and sugar intake...I know it is hard because you eat what you crave but see if you notice a connection

I know if I have salt I get tremendous water weight gain so perhaps there really is some connection between sugar and overheating during this time of the cycle. "
