And if my PMS started to get out of control I could just skip to the placebo and get my period faster. But now I just have to deal with 10 straight days of that every month.

Before a hysterectomy with ovaries removed be sure you are aware of what instant menopause is like. It's pretty harsh and the PMDD may be the lesser of the two evils. I already was into the menopause process when I had my hysterectomy and I kept my ovaries. I didn't go into instant menopause but the next couple of years while I was finishing the process faster than normal were rough. I know PMDD is awful for you but just be sure you don't trade one evil for another (I assume you can't be on estrogen or other female hormones through menopause).
