On my other page, Vineyardwomen, I wrote a post titled A hormonal post... or I want to be healed, sharing about my PMD/PMS problems.
Just to let you know, I haven't given up on being healed. I am still asking God to show me this grace, but instead of sitting om my hands and letting this affect my family even more, I have recently had a conversation with my doctor. She turned out to be very understanding, she didn't question me at all on my own judgement (which is something I always expect people to do - must be the hard-to-kill pessimist inside me), and she actually had a plan to help me.
So now, I am back on the pill - yes, the wonderful little white birth control pill that I have desperately tried to avoid for many years now! And ironically, theres not a chance that I will become pregnant, as my hubby has taken well care of that. But there are benefits to that... if I miss a pill, it won't really matter much!
But the pill is supposed to stabilise my hormones, making my mood swings flatten out and hopefully, let me remain calm, peaceful and happy. Currently, I am getting used to the routine of remembering the pills every night, and living with the nausea they give me.
I will be taking these pills for a 3 month period, after which I will return to my doctor for a follow up. If they aren't giving me the help I need, there are always "happy pills", as we so delicately calls them in Danish. These are antidepressants, and although that sounds very drastic, I must keep in mind that my mood swings are also very dramatic.
But please, keep praying for me - there's no doubt that I need it!
