Today I am joined by Steph - a fellow PMDD Warrior who also lives with fibromyalgia. According to FMA UK, fibromyalgia is a chronic condition of widespread pain and profound fatigue. The cause of fibromyalgia is not yet known and there is no cure.
On this episode, we discuss how living with chronic conditions such as fibro and PMDD, can affect things like parenting and friendships, as well as other areas.
For more information about fibromyalgia, click here, and as always, if you're just learning about PMDD, head to IAPMD.org.

"Be proud of who you are and just know that it’s shitty, it’s scary but there will be a day when you can say 'I’ve got through this.'"
On this episode I’m joined by Nichole. Nichole is 22, she epitomises what it is to be a PMDD Warrior, and is currently going through chemical menopause.
Just so you know this episode does talk about suicidal thoughts, self harm, and infertility, so it might be hard to hear in places, but that’s why it’s so important that this young voice is heard.
