Painful Female troubles

[Guest guest]

Hi Kati --

I used to have real bad menstrual cramps (pre-children, although the cramps

occasionally get bad still and I'm 44),

and my chiropractor suggested I try something that I think was

an extract of some herbs...tasted a bit like apples...the

directions to use it said to hold a dropperful under my

tongue for a while (I think sublingually it gets into the

system quicker). It really helped with the pain, but I had

to use it again about every half hour or so. Sure beat

pain pills though. I see similar mixes offered by health food

stores, so you might be lucky enough to find the same mix

if you check out those sources.

Also, one day when I called to cancel an appointment with the chiro, they

talked me into coming in anyways (it was one of those days I would have stayed

home in bed if we didn't have something important going on at work).

I stopped on my way home, thinking there is absolutely

NOTHING this man can do for me right now, but I was really

wrong. In addition to the usual adjustments, he worked a

couple acupressure points at my inner ankles and right below

the center of my rib cage -- helped the nausea tremendously! And this coming

from a skeptic (I always felt the adjustments helped, but I never dreamed he

could rid me of that pain!) I walked out of that office feeling 95% better.

Eventually a medical doctor also prescribed Motrin(Ibuprofen) before it was an

over the counter drug. That helped the cramps too.

Have you had this checked over by a doctor? And you're

sure there's not some other physical cause for the pain?

(These are dumb questions, considering how you must be

suffering, but you know someone will wonder why I didn't ask.)

Hope atleast some of this information helps you out. I, along

with how many other millions of women, can relate.
