vlvtelvis (Ohhh baby - do you have one of those in your living room? Ha ha)
Thanks for the link. I read it in full. I will proceed, though, with the diet (I need to get off the sugar and white flour anyway) and see what happens with the medication. The true test will be during my 9 days of PMDD. As I stated in my other post, I will continue my psych meds as well.
The doctor is correct in saying that I have received too many wide spectrum antibiotics in my life, along with cortisone and oral contraceptives. This is especially true since my early thirties, when I would get very bad upper respiratory infections about three to four times a year, along with a cortisone shot each time. They would turn into pnemonia without antibiotics. This is when I first needed to go on antidepressants. It's been a long, hard road since then.
I want to get well. My OB-GYNs over the years have been no help with my PMDD, which has gotten worse with time. I am 40.
It's time to try something new but I am approaching it with caution. I am skeptical, believe me, but I am willing to give it a try.
Again, thanks for the link. I have bookmarked it.
