Close Hypothyroidism

Treatments

Synthroid Working / Worked

I started taking 25mcg, then was upped to 50mcg and recently 75mcg. Pretty much all of my symptoms went away after about 6 weeks of treatment. Only side effects I have noticied is some minor palpitations, and muscle aches when dose is increased.

Close Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

I hav e been suffering from PMS/PMDD for years. After the birth of my children, it has gotten much worse. I am so happy to have found this support group and that I am not alone.

Treatments

Naproxen Working / Worked

I took it for cramps.

Oral Contraceptives Somewhat Helpful

Helped with bleeding, but made me more depressed.

Progesterone Cream Too Soon to Tell

Just started about 3 monthes ago. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Prozac Working / Worked

Took Sarafem for about 5 years. Was helpful, but stopped after the birth of my second child 4 years ago. Loss of sex drive was the worst side effect, however re-considering starting again as PMDD is becoming unbearable.
