Everything I currently take for pmdd + hashimotos + TMJ + chronic pain

Medication and treatment

Hrt for pmdd, this is mostly a treatment available in the uk. https://metro.co.uk/2025/04/12/i-thought-hrt-older-menopausal-women-started-taking-it-22879509/

Oestrogel x 3 pumps a day, 2 in am and 1 early eve.

Cyclogest 200mg 10 days a month

Famotidine (when on Cyclogest)

Loratidine (when on Cyclogest)

Levothyroxine

Nac 💓

Magnesium glycinate

Vitamin c

Iron

Selenium

Zinc

D

Copper

Fish oil

Calcium

Probiotics

Cacao

So I kind of liked the Cyclogest body identical progesterone pessaries at the beginning of taking them, found them relaxing, but then once they built up in my system after a few days, I’m guessing the progesterone turned into the thing many of us can’t tolerate, possibly allopregnanolone? I started to feel a bit like I had pmdd. Anxiety, fluid retention, brain fog, forgetting words, dropping stuff.

So when the progesterone intolerance started to feel like pmdd, guess what helped? Antihistamines 💊 h1 and h2 blockers. I have no problem with estrogen which is supposedly the thing that increases histamine 🤷🏼‍♀️

My periods 🩸 are so light now.

Going to see how this gos for another few months. My Pmdd symptoms improved after treating my thyroid but I still had residual Pmdd symptoms so I added hrt for my Pmdd as per uk guidelines and under the advice of a Pmdd psychiatrist and nhs clinic.
