At Misty's request more details

[Guest guest]

Hello Misty,

 

I first started my period at age 10. I have been overweight since age 6. I

started having problems in high school. I didn't perceive them as problems

then. If I went for months without a period, I was happy. I never even told

anyone. I wasn't sexually active so I knew I wasn't pregnant. The first time I

realized there was a problem was when I cycled into months of bleeding without

stopping. It was in college in 1991, I was about 23. I was dorming and called

home to tell my mom I had a problem with my period, but never went into

specifics. My mom asked if I still had my period, I said yes. She said call

her when it is over and she will make an appointment, that ladies didn't get

examined while they were having it. Well my period never went away so a year

later, still at college, I passed out. My roommate made me leave, said I wasn't

dying on her. I came home, went to the doctor, she put me on Birth control

pills.

 

I am not sure my period has ever been normal. I never know when it is coming, I

don't get symptoms .... no pain, no cramps, just the bleeding starts. I started

wearing a pad everyday back then, because it was never predictable, I still do.

 

I wasn't aware about mood swings, but my last boyfriend tells me that I get real

moody around my cycle, and that it is bad. That I am nasty, picked fights with

him .. etc. He said it goes away after my period leaves. He also noted that if

I am in a cycle on no period, around the time it should come, I still have mood

swings, although no perod comes.

 

I am not aware of anything happening at that time. Sometimes while on the pill,

it stops regulating and my period will still either stop, or fail to stop. Then

they would change the pill or put me on straight hormones for a while. When I

stabalize back to the regular pill.

 

I have been constantly tested for cysts, fibroids and other problems. All the

tests come back normal. I know that I have an inverted uterus and that it is

small from exams.

 

Before last week, I had missed my period for three months. When it came on this

week, I wasn't sure it was my period. The blood was very dark, lots of clots,

almost black looking. It looked almost like some body tissue in it, it was so

clotty. I had been sick the two weeks before, and lost my voice. Was in the

house taking Amoxicilin, allegra and a nose spray. My stool had turned black.

A nurse friend had advised it might be blood, I thought maybe a side affect of

the amoxicilin. I have a follow up in the morning for the sickness (my doctor

said it was a just a bad cold) that caused me to lose my voice and for a general

physical. It is my regular doctor, so I wasn't planning to talk to him about

the problems with my period. Going to make an appointment with my GYN.

 

When my period started, and I had no idea,it was coming because I had no

symptoms. My stool stopped being totally black. Back to normal brown with

black spots. At that same time, after maybe four or five days the blood is now

bright red and flowing so heavy it is almost like I am hemorghing (sp).

 

Actually, I had been sort of short and irritable with my mom lately. Now I am

realizing it has probably been a mood swing. I am really low on energy due to

the large amounts of blood loss. I had recently stopped eating meat. I also

had not been eating well lately. I just moved two and a half weeks ago from

Maryland back to New York. So I don't have a routine yet here. And my eating

got really bad. I probably haven't had a decent meal in over a week, no

veggies, some fruit, very little protein. When I realized, I went out and got

some meat to eat. That made me immediately sick, but it gave me a little bit

more energy. I have asked my mom to cook some meat the next few days for me.

 

Other than the mood swings and being a little short and nasty, (now I find out),

I don't recall experiencing anything. There are no cramps, no pain, I imagine I

might get bloated, hard to tell with my size. The only thing is that when I

have my period, and this has been going on for as long as I can remember, I move

my bowels every time I use the bathroom. There are no headaches, I don't get

acne. As I said, I don't get any warning signs that it is coming. I just look

down and there is it. As a result, I wear a pad every day of my life for the

last several years.

Hi Merle,

 

Can you give us more information? When did you first experience problems with

your period? What happened in your life around then or before? Are there any

illnesses or injuries or surgeri that may be relevant? What were your last

three periods like? What color was the blood? Was there pain? If so, how

would you describe the nature of the pain? What makes the pain better or worse?

Are

there clots? What color/size? Does menstrating affect your emotions? If so,

do you become irritable, weepy, inconsoliable, withdrawn, etc.? Is there

anything else you are experiencing with your period, such as headaches,

constipation/diarrhea, acne, sleeplessness, etc.? What other unique syptoms can

you share with us, while you are menstrating or not?

 

Be Well,

Misty

Hi Merle,

 

Thank you for taking the time to write in the extra information...

Believe it or not, but a cold where you lose your voice was

invaluable information, as well as the black stool...

 

Here is how those symptoms repetorize out:

 

FEMALE GENITALIA/SEX - MENSES - black

FEMALE GENITALIA/SEX - MENSES - bright red

STOOL - BLACK

LARYNX AND TRACHEA - VOICE - hoarseness

 

The two leading remedies were Phosphorous and Ferrum Met.

Phosphorous is a known bleeding remedy and can have lots of

hoarseness. Ferrum Met is known to give great assistance to those

who are recovering from blood loss, anemia, etc.

 

Here is the research, if you would like to use it, you can go to a

health food store, in NY I would not think that is too difficult to

locate a good one, and get homeopathic phosphorous 30c and ferrum

met 30c. I would take them together every 15 minutes for 1 hour,

every half hour for 2 hours, every hour for 4 hours, and then every

two hours afterwards. I would do that for a day or two, check in

with us and let us know how the bleeding is going. After that you

will still want to take them, but less often so as to rebuild and

rebalance your system- keep us posted because that is the only way

to know when to adjust either the remedies or the dosage.

 

Now, that being said, proper nutrition is stil important, I know

there are people trying to get you to buy different products, I do

not condone people trying to use this forum to sell their products

or services, this is meant to be a way to offer geniune, self-less

assistance. But the discussion of the importance of nutrition is

still very much valid. Homeopathy will help your body to rebalance

the subtle processes that led to your conditions, but that does not

change that one MUST still need to take in the proper nutritional

building blocks for the body to utilize.

 

I recommend looking into juicing. I would especially like to see

you focus on beet juice, spinach, kale, parsley, dandelion greens,

and if you do not have the capability to juice, then to at least

start incorporating these into your diet, preferably raw. (a golden

rule while juicing, the above mentioned juices should never be more

than 1 part to 4 parts of carrot juice- partly for reasons of taste

but most importantly- to not create too intense of a healing crisis.)

 

Wheatgrass falls into its own category. It must be juiced and it

can be taken alone, though I never recommend it. The taste is super

sweet, and is most palitable when combined with a good tart

cranberry juice. While I can be purist in some things, I recognize

if you don't get the juice in you, it can never be of benefit, so

just make sure you can get it in. Wheatgrass is the king of

sprouts. Because of this, it has live enzymes because it came from

a live plant and not from a bottle of pills that may have been

sitting around for who knows how long. Wheatgrass has proven to be

of immense benefit for those with anemia, bloodloss etc. It has

been used by those suffering from cancer and other serious

conditions as well. One good ounce of wheatgrass juice is

equivilent to 2 1/2 pounds of garden vegetables!!

 

While these suggestions take a little more work, if the goal is to

build a more holistic and healtheir life you will be on solid

footing.

 

 

Be Well,

Misty
