Kirsty turned to homeopathy to help her with a severe case of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). This is her story…
I have suffered with Premenstrual Tension (PMT) for most of my adult life, but after my first child was born in 2003 my symptoms worsened considerably. Every month in the lead up to my period, I would experience the most overwhelming anger and depression. I would be going along with my day and then out of nowhere, it would feel like a piece of lead had dropped on me.
Everything was cloaked in despair
The depression was so severe that it got to the point where I couldn’t function normally. I could be in bed for up to a week at a time, unable to go out or speak to anyone outside my family. I couldn’t collect my son from school, prepare meals or take care of the running of the home. Everything was cloaked in despair, darkness and guilt. It was totally debilitating and I felt utterly hopeless. I didn’t know where to turn.
Even more upsetting was the terrible and irrational rage I felt towards myself and my partner. It was so destructive. I don’t know what I would have done if he hadn’t been so strong, supportive and understanding.
In 2012, I was referred to a specialist clinic and diagnosed with PMDD. The only treatment they could offer was the contraceptive pill or an antidepressant, which I wasn’t comfortable being on. I also tried beta blockers, but there was little improvement with any of these medications.
Homeopathy has transformed my life
I have always used homeopathy to treat minor ailments and illnesses, so I know about its ability to heal without side-effects. But I hadn’t considered it as a treatment option for my PMDD as it seemed so unmanageable and overwhelming. Eventually, in March 2022, my aunt persuaded me to visit see Dr Willocks at Coatbridge Homeopathy.
Lachesis was prescribed and within the first month, I started to feel an improvement. To say homeopathy has transformed my life would not be an overstatement.
For the first time in decades, I have little or no symptoms of PMDD-related rage and depression. My stress response has settled and I am noticeably calmer in situations that I would once have been unable to cope with.
My long-suffering partner – and my wonderfully understanding children – have all been amazed by the huge change in me. My whole family has benefited from the positive effects of this miraculous treatment.
