I've got a close friend that I've known for 20+ years, recently in the past year she has been under a lot of stress, and her moods swing rapidly, temper and disposition irratiable to the extreme, complains of exhaustion, her husband says her sexual appitite is near zero, she had a galbladder removed about six years ago, it was a acute case and nearly killed her.
Her age is 42, still has regular periods (according to hubby)and extreme PMS several days prior, weight about 160, height about 5-8, large frame. He told me she sleeps very hard, on weekends can exceed 14 hours and still wake up exhausted. Anything can set her off, her 6 YO daughter is starting to see the problems, and wants to act like mommy.... hubby Ron is about ready to beat some sense into her head.... he's reaching his limits with this issue.
Both are real close friends, not too well off, budget tight and doctors want to put her on anti-depressants..... I say it's homones and possibly border line low thyriod, any ideas???
