My PMS, is something I've been working through for many, many years now. I'm actually gotten pretty good at understanding it too. Not sure, how my pdoc feels about my random updates, from time to time
, but hey, it's something I presented myself with as having a troublesome time with, when I first started seeing him.
When I was on Celexa for a couple of years, a couple of years ago, I remember having this 'aha' moment, about recognizing body distortion. And it really was happening. I wasn't actually gaining weight or anything, pants fit fine, but the body distortion alone can leave me feeling, angry, irritable and in a depressed state. Once, I was able to recognize, what that felt like, I learned to recognize it, for what it was/is.
Now, this cycle, at my ovulation marker. (note, I learned my ovulation cycle, back in June, when I had my annual check up and annual ultra-sound...saw my egg coming from my ovary...dang egg, gave my dr a scare, then me a scare, then went back in 2 weeks to an ablated uterus, aka, actual menstruation). So, 2 weeks before my period, I ovulate. Guess, which emotion hits the surface, at 2 weeks before my period, when my body says...hey, it's baby making time?! Jealousy! Yes, jealousy! Hmmm, in a primal sense, it's like saying...he's mine, all mine, back
off, because, it's primal. So, that's that emotion, and that's that answer to these past couple of decades of wondering, why do I feel the way that I do, and why does it center around my period?!
Now, about the extreme sex drive, right before, stands to reason, you may have it, right after, too! Primal, again! Don't you love being a woman?! (( I do!
))
Well, that's my personal opinion, of course, only scientific study conducted here, has been on my own moods and feelings.
Not sure, why your legs feel the way that they do, right around the time. Could be depression. My legs feel like that ,too, when I am in a depressed state. ((although, my gp would suggest my MS
, but if you have it, and don't have MS, then it stands to reason, it's more likely depression, as I can appreciate and relate well to that weak in the legs feeling that you described))
