Vicky Pattison has passionately hit back at 'ignorant' trolls who accuse her of faking her health woes amid her 'heartbreaking' premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) battle. The former Geordie Shore star, 37, took to Instagram to speak out against those who have dismissed her pain and accused her of 'inventing a condition to stay relevant'.

Vicky has suffered with PMDD for years and often speaks about the severe symptoms it causes including depression and anxiety. Sharing a post she added photos of herself in tears and with a swollen stomach as she said the condition makes her feel 'worthless'.
The NHS states that symptoms of PMDD are similar to PMS (premenstrual syndrome), but are much more intense and can have a much greater negative impact on your everyday life. Symptoms can include headaches and joint and muscle pain, overeating and problems sleeping, feeling very anxious, angry, depressed or suicidal.

Vicky wrote in her lengthy post: 'I've debated posting this for awhile, as quite frankly it's a little bit dark. 'I know everyone is probably in a Christmassy place & just wants to be thinking about mulled wine & pigs in blankets but after the reaction to the WEC's report last week I thought I'd share & honest insight into what people suffering with PMDD go through.
