As I was reading more yesterday - I remembered that - not only did things intensify after child birth, but I became allergic to my own progesterone (seriously) and in 2005 ended up getting a total hysterectomy - desensitizing was a complete failure. This was after years of noticing that I became a mess - a complete mess - with the surge of the hormones. Really a bizzare story. At first my body was found to not be producing enough progesterone - I was prescribed a cream - which nearly killed me - I ended up in a hospital, and had temperorary paralisis on one side. Then I ended up in TX (I live in PA) where big allergy doctor practiced. First we tried to desensitize me, then a chemical induced menopause - which showed complete improvement - so I agreed to the hysterectomy. The next two years are fuzzy - I went through such depression, that I was given ECT - 15x and lost a two + year window of memory. Hormones and other health play a massive role. Funny how the doctor, that delivered my first child, told me at a check up visit (when I was already in the throws of Baby Blues) that womens hormones do not change just because we give birth! I sure am glad that I gave birth to 2 boys. Because I dont want them to go through what I did in my late 20's and 30's - even now!

I would sure agree with you on the not qualifying - in my case - before child birth. But the signs were around. I just assumed that my child hood did not leave room for a full bloom of it. Now, there is nothing stopping it, I dont even have to protect my kids anymore from it - they understand.

Tv volume fluxes! Evil indeed!
