Hi Shadow,Oh Lord way worse before,during and just after.
In fact I'm having a severe dp relapse which I believe was triggered by my crazy hormones.

My life is slipping away again.Today I've decided(after going out there)that I'll hide in my bedroom forever and only come out to eat.

Wishing you all the best,sincerely Shelly

 

[shadowness]

thank you shelly...

i know it is all just hormones talking and i feel a little silly posting it...

but i thought that this time of the month would make the dr but mostly the dp less as you really do feel your body during this time! i have so much back pain! i cannot stand it!

argh i just feel so bloody awful!

Shadow,I don't know how you feel about the pill but years ago when I was still able to tolerate it,it helped so much with PMS,heavy bleeding and cramps.My skin was great too.

It's just a thought.I know a lot of women don't like the idea of it or don't like the side effects but when it works it can be such a relief.
I can't take it these days,mores the pity.Lifes too short,anything to keep my head straight.

Best Shelly

Shadowness,

YES. my dr and dp were HORRIBLE before I got my period. Like a week before.

I remember in August the week before, oh my god. I was where you are right now.

It will end. trust me. you will get your girly thing and your dr and dp will lessen.

Hang in there.

for the back pain try a snuggly hot water bottle or ibuleve pain relief if nothin else helps!!

 

[dreamcatcher]

alot worse for a few days before really out of it snappy and as you said in pain which u would think would lessen the dp, but oh no, then it starts and if your like me if its ever heavey u start to panic that you are haemorraging[i no thats spelt wrong] then things settle a bit- oh the joys of been a woman.

yeah..my dp/dr is much worse before and during my period. This is the worst time for me. The combination of extreme dp/dr, cramps, back ache and general misery is unbearable!

The same here. I have started taking the pill this week just for this.
Ive tried it before a couple of times the past ten years but my body couldnt handle it and I felt weirder than ever so had to stop. It seems Ive now found one that works very well, with very few side-effects.

 

[shadowness]

thank you all for your very honest replies

 

[Guest]

most definitely. the hormones make it so much more difficult. i'm right there now too with the back pain! grrrr it's so tough! my dp/dr are way worse before and during.

 

[Guest]

hey Wendy would you pm to me the name of the pill you are taking.I'm having trouble with sending Private's.

I tried a new one last month,Diane,I only took it one.It gave me a migraine and blurred vision.Apparently if a pill causes migraine,the doc said don't take it.

Shelly, I have sent you a PM.

i am about to go off the pill and am wondering if anyone noticed that being on birth control made your DP/DP worse? i had never been on the pill, but i went on them about 3-4 months ago (tried 2 different kinds - a generic called aviene and yasmin) and noticed my DP overall got worse. and yes, it's the week before my period and i am so out of it/zoned/DP'd etc. any thoughts on the birth control / DP connection? would love to hear thoughts on this.

 

[Guest]

oh my callis I'm probably not the best woman here to ask.
My dp is soooooo much worse before and during my periods and the darn pill which I would dearly love to take so I can skip periods makes my dp worse (amongst other symptoms) from the get go.
I usually toss the pack in the bin after a week or so and guess what,yep then I get 2 periods in a month........bloody lovely(no pun intended) :roll:

If anybody finds a solution,please,please let me know.

Best Shelly

Callisto,

I have tried the pill more than once the last ten years and usually I had to quit after a couple of days. I had hoped this time it would work, and when I started taking them last week, the first few days I actually felt good, few side-effects and in hope of continuation. But this week the side-effects got too bad.
Yes DP worsened. I felt much more spaced out and disconnected, tired, very indifferent to mine and others feelings, I felt less anxious though and more agressive, if that makes sense (like thinking of killing myself with a gun if I had one! :shock: ). It was almost impossible to focus on ANYthing and get my thoughts straight, very forgetfull etc.

Anyway, I also wonder what is the connection between DP and the pill.
I have a sensitive nervous system and have had food allergies (candida) in the past. Somethings wrong with my hormone balance as well.
I knew before I started the pill last week I was running the risk to outbalance my hormone levels even more.

I dont know but maybe people with DP have sensitive nervous systems in general. It would be interesting to find out if more women here cant handle the effects of the pill.
I dont know enough about all this to have a solid opinion on it, I have many questions on how this works exactly.

What are your ideas about it, if you have any?
