I am in my mid forties and was diagnosed with PMDD in my early thirties. A few months ago I started taking low dose naltrexone as a treatment for PMDD. I’m taking 3 mgs currently. It has been life changing. I actually sleep through the night and that change was almost immediate. For all you peri girls out there who know, you might give this a try.
I am five months post Slynd (which messed with my body physically), four months into low histamine diet, three months of using Allegra, and two months of using LDN (low dose naltrexone).
I have not had PMDD symptoms in two months y’all. I read about the difference between MCAS and PMDD and will talk to my doc about testing for the MCAS, but after 14 years of suffering and suicidal ideations/mania cycles, I wanted to share what is working for me right now. I really don’t know if it is the low histamine protocol or the LDN. I’m happy either way.
My insurance doesn’t cover LDN but a local compounding pharmacy is filling it for me. It was $25 my first month, $42 the second, and this next dose will be the full 4.5 mg and it will cost $52 for three months, the same as I was paying for Slynd.
Hope someone finds this info helpful ❤️ Sending love to all of you holding on.
