OT: more on progesterone and

[Guest guest]

(Copy of post sent to another list)

Do you guys remember in Lee's book or any others what exactly is recommended as far as EFAs for PMS? I believe it used to be Primrose oil but I remeber reading somewhere we weren't supposed to use that with DS? I'm thinking with this SCDiet J is not getting enough good fats.

Here is what is happening.....I tried her on BC pills for17 days. Two days ago she started trying to twist her breasts off (she did this before but not as bad) She is totally out of control, hitting herself and everyone else and digging and ripping at her tiny little nipples till they're red and raw. I've got her on some tylenol and it helps somewhat (she can't take other pain meds due to GI trouble). I refuse to give her one more BC pill. We tried. That's it. I know they want us to wait it out but something is really wrong. She had this weird shivering spell yesterday. This is actually right about the time she would normally be getting her period so I'm just going to go ahead and let her get it. She was on Seasonale...the 90 day pill. YUK. This is why I've always been so afraid to try them. I'm actually considering some kind of psychotropic med or something to calm her down- she is like an animal and I know it's only going to get worse as the period comes on.

Someone on the Autism girls list suggested rubbing some progest cream into her boobs to help with the pain?? I don't know but I'll try anything at this point. They also suggested vitex tincture to drink with juice to help regulate her. I remember I used to take it and it worked for awhile. Actually I used to take a frew drinks and it worked just great but I don't know how the docs would react to that....altho she will be 18 in a couple of days. This is horrible to watch and I've gotta go watch it again before she rips herself to shreds. MY arms are all bloody from being scratched. Who knew motherhood would be such fun?
