Since my teen years I have been clinically ill for two weeks every few months before my period. Full blown mental breakdowns, paranoia, anxiety, aggression and a long laundry list of manic/depressive symptoms that leaves my boyfriend inches from the packing his bags. I took a blood test two years ago that revealed I have a genetic mutation called the MTHFR mutation that inhibits my body from processing folic acid and other important B vitamins. So now I'm a kooky supplement lady that turns into a monster without my methyl guard plus supplement. A lot of women are diagnosed with PMDD every year and told to go on birth control or to take prozac or to just deal with it and it makes me foam at the mouth to think about all the suffering that could be prevented by a simple blood test and some goddamn B vitamins!!!
