Looking for Women with PMDD & Men that live with them for interviews!

Both ebooks are finally done!

Book #1 info:
Learning to Stay Positive, Take Control, and Enjoy Life (even with PMDD)

I am really excited, I know you guys will enjoy reading a PMDD book by someone that lives with PMDD rather than by a doctor who has just researched PMDD.

Who will this book help? It is for Women that live with PMDD and for the loved one’s living with those Women to better understand PMDD. You will find out why they react the way they sometimes do, depending on their time of the month.

It’s 54 pages of personal information about my PMDD and factual information too.

Here is a copy of the table of contents:

27. Does the weather (or seasons) tend to affect your PMDD? Make it worse/better? __________________________________________________

28. Would you be interested in a Membership Only Forum, as an added perk to the Life w/ PMDD site? It would be a paid portion of the site, for Members only of course, very minimal cost. Basically, to keep it private and to help cover costs, I will be adding a Forum with daily check- ins, once a week live video group chats, videos that will be accessible during your time, exercise check-ins and videos and a ton more. I’m thinking $4.95/month, there will also be a general forum with everything from eating healthy, taking meds, med info, exercising, sex talk, significant other chat, self- help, family (including children) info…everything, just even more personal for you and me. I am pretty personal on my blog anyway, but I believe that with a closed membership site in addition, we can really help one another, just that extra step to feeling better.

Let me know your thoughts, would you be interested?_____________________

Thank you for taking this questionnaire. Once you have completed it, please email it back to me at livingwpmdd@gmail.com. If you have any questions during the questionnaire, please feel free to email me too.

Both ebooks are in .pdf form so you will need Adobe Reader to read it. You most likely already have it since almost everything out there is in .pdf format, but if not, go download it for free here

Both ebooks are thru Paypal.

Now, I am putting you all on the honor system. This book took me a long time to write and I am very open about my life with PMDD. Please have respect for the system and do not pass the book onto others.

Second, these Women took a lot of time and courage to share their stories, don't pass it around either. I sent out over 20 interviews and opened it up for anyone. I received 9 back plus my own. That tells you how difficult it is for Women to open up, please remember this.

Please! Please! If any of you have any problems, I am on my laptop daily working, email me ASAP and I will take care of it. :)

Don’t miss out on these great offers! You will not find any true info like this anywhere else. We live with it so we know what you go through.

You will need to go here for more info on the books or for purchasing via paypal.
