Really need some female problem help...please?

Kay

a few suggestions:

 

i think you need to get more minerals in your body. Try getting the Total Nutrition and make it with vegetable juices like cucumber, celery, fennel.

I find that using Shepards Purse is terrific for stopping the heavy bleeding from your period. I'd start with a dropper and see if that helps. I tend to use a teaspoon at a time and get results within 30 minutes and generally don't need to use it again.

Other herbs that will work similarly are Ladies Mantle and Yarrow.

 

I would definitely do the cleanse here, but you may want to do it mainly with veggies and very little fruit if the fruit sugar is creating the problem. I think the IC #1 and the IC# 2 are going to really help cleanse your body.

 

I find that taking motherwort tincture can help regulate your menstrual cycle. Depending on your weight I'd be using 1-3 droppers 3X per day for a few months to try to regulate yourself.

 

Relax, take a few breathes and believe that with nutrition and herbs you can bring yourself back to a place of wellness.

Herbal Remedies - Really need some female problem help...please?

 

*sigh* I only got a 1/2 tape from Doc. Turned it on the first day, but didn't get anything from the second side.

 

I can hardly think today. My head is not clear. Maybe because I am so discouraged.

 

I went to the ob/gyn today. He said nothing is wrong with my uterus (did a scan up to my throat and stuck some kind of snake-like tool up that far too --cramps and bleeding results). They thought I had fibroids (probably did but did the Vit A treatment and got rid of them--no polyps either). Vit A probably did the trick for both I'd guess.

 

But if nothing is wrong, why do I nearly hemorrhage every time I have a period and why do they last for 12-14 days? He couldn't explain that. He said go off the meds for 2 months and let's see what type of cycle you have. I told him, I was off it for a year and I was bleeding 12-14 days a month and went 10 days between cycles. I know what I will do. He said go off and let's see now. What a crock! Let's see if things are going to be different than they were when we did the same thing last time. Sure, no problem. I am stupid enough to try it again so I can spend 12 days bleeding, and 10 days not then 12 bleeding and 10 days not. Sure, sounds like a good piece of advice to me!

 

I am really tired today. And discouraged.

 

I want so to get off the meds they have given me, but I'm afraid I'll hemorrhage and have to have a hysterectomy. Don't want any more MD suffering. Last time the MD s cut on me (c section 8 years ago) , I still suffer from it. Really scared to think they might cut again. But the pills I am taking have managed to take 1" off my bust size. Nice eh? I have to stay on a diet constantly or I gain about 1/2 pound a day on these pills. I so wish I'd never started them. MD said something about this being progesterone. Probably why it is screwing me up so much.

 

I tore a muscle about a month ago. And I was on some kind of muscle relaxants. I quit them cold turkey because I hate that stuff and didn't want them in the first place but MD insisted. And I went through hot flashes at night like crazy for two days. This stuff causes hot flashes with me all night at times. And sometimes during the day. Today I am having bad hot flashes, bleeding. Probably because my uterus (which has been touched inside only when it was supposed to put something out) is really pissed now that some snake was inside it.

 

I need to do a cleanse I am sure. But unfortunately, when I don't eat, I get light headed and migraines. *sigh* Tried eating fruit at one time, but by mid afternoon I could hardly see from the migraine. Fruit drinks? Forget it! Migraines so bad I have to go to bed!

 

Four or five years ago, when I started thinking that herbs were the way to go, found a great lady who knew a few things, and she put me on a charcoal, black walnut hull, (something else) cleanse. It made a huge difference the first time. Wasn't sleeping 12 hours a day after the cleanse, had a few hours a day of energy. Then I did it again, but not such great results, but helped my energy level more. Lost contact with her, so no more third ingredient. *sigh*

 

I can't eat bread or wheat or potatoes. MD says I am allergic. I decided to heck with it and started eating bread again, potatoes. Gained 10 pounds in 8 days that took me 2-3 weeks to take off. And being overweight 50 pounds, you don't want to gain 10 pounds.

 

Started Atkins, I actually feel far better when I am not eating carbs. When I eat carbs, I am tired and I get this horrible pain in my lower intestines. It feels like something is eating me inside, sometimes hurts to even move around. Fruits are the worst! Oh, they make that pain come back in triplicate. I thought I surely had a tapeworm or worms that were eating me up inside--lots of pain in only one area of my lower stomach. But I did that cleanse, and there was no tape, maybe other worms. But the pain always comes back when I eat carbs or fruit even milk. When I am doing only meat and veggies, I feel pretty good and never get that pain. But I really would like to have some fruit. Can't though, it just makes me get headaches and the pain.

 

I was tested for diabetes, the MD said I would eventually get it. What a crock! Not a single person in my family on either side has it, never has--one of my aunts weighs or did over 300 pounds, one was 250, and my dad was 280, and his brother 230. Mostly fatsos. I think the MD was using some of the drugs he prescribes.

 

Any advice on what I can start before I go off these pills and start hemorrhaging again would be really appreciated. I wish I could just go back to a normal 4-5 day cycle like I had before the c section. I am emotionally exhausted and feel pretty much like crying right now. I don't want to face another heavy bleed again. He said let it be without meds for 2 months. Sure, so I bleed from tomorrow until the 12th, then I quit until the 22nd, and then bleed again until the 3rd, quit until the 15th and start again. I'd like to have a life, thank you!

 

Please tell me what I might do to stop this. I am really nervous that I might end up in the hospital again hemorrhaging. It isn't fun, and it takes so much energy out of me, and I get migraines whenever my hormones go down like that, and I am depressed, and hard to live with, and sad and miserable and uncomfortable. This is not normal, and so the MD says "let's do it again!" Psycho!

Hi Kay,

 

I think a few people have given you some really good advice here already. I just wanted to throw in the importance of the Panther Piss in your situation with the migraines. If you've been eating mostly meat then your body is going to be on the acidic side pH-wise and that will always push you toward headaches/migraines. You need to get to the alkaline side of pH, and you can do that with more raw veggies (fruits, too, but if you're having problems with them just stick with the veggies for now) and much less meat. Other things which are all acidic include dairy, eggs, sugar, sodas, and alcohol. Another thing that's very good for helping to "blow off" the acidity is exercise.

 

Anyway, just some more thoughts. Just decide on some changes you think you can make. It may take a little bit to get this all handled, but it can definitely be done! :)Kelli

But what about those of us who don't eat a lot of meat, and still get them?

 

Actually, I'm pretty sure mine are hormonal. Even though, I'm still breastfeeding my 20 month old - I started my period back in November (6 mos. ago), and if my headaches aren't hormonal, then I don't know what they are from.

 

A few days before my cycle starts, my milk supply drops (which my son does NOT like, but that's another story for another list), and I go through the usual moody bit - which drives everyone insane - including me. About half way through my cycle, my milk supply starts getting back to normal. Then exactly two days after my period stops, BAM! I get a migraine that lasts a minimum of three days. The first day, it's bearable. The second (and occasionally third)day, I want to crawl under a rock and stay there - the next day on it's a dull ache until it finally subsides. Then everything's fine for about two and a half weeks, and it starts over again.

 

I've been taking chasteberry to help regulate my hormones - It's my understanding that's the only thing I can take that's "natural" that won't harm the milk supply. It has helped the severity of the mood swings, and the drop in milk isn't quite as drastic - but those headaches are still doosies.

 

Kay, This is just my humble opinion, but exercise will do you more good than anything else. Please don't be so quick to dismiss it. It could actually become, dare I say it.......big loud gulp...... enjoyable! :-) Our bodies were meant to be active. I have fibromyalgia also, and when I finally pulled myself out of that bed and started walking, it did me a world of good. Man, I did NOT want to do it, either - my body cursed me in languages that I didn't know existed! Now, I love my walks. Without them, my day is shot to you-know-where. I learned a hard lesson that taking a few supplements and doing a couple of cleanses by themselves won't heal the body. Yes, they will help alot, but until I made some serious lifestyle changes, my fibromyalgia was a millstone around my neck. Now it is only a pebble.

Hi Kay,

Hope you are feeling better soon. I also suggest

getting more Omega 3 fatty acids. Heavy bleeding and

the estrogen effects of this are lessened when the

fatty acid ratios are balanced. Omega 3, 6, and 9.

Mose people consume too much Omega 6 ( it is in almost

all protein sources). If you balance this out with

Omega 3s, from either fish oil (you can buy it in a

capsule), cod liver oil which also gives vit D ( you

can buy good tasting emulsified) or flax seed ( you

can grind fresh flax seed in any coffee grinder).

Also, the more fat women carry, the more estrogen we

produce. This extra estrogen can cause a host of

health problems, including heavy bleeding. Hope you

get well soon.

Love and Laughter,

Hi Tammi:

 

I think you are right about the *E* word unfortunately. I just tore a muscle in my leg a few weeks ago, and I cannot walk right now. I intended on starting walking. One of the PE teachers at work said 45 minutes 3x a week. I think I can do that once this muscle gets normal again.

 

I am sorry about your migraines. It is really awful to have them, and I have them at the end of my period too. Wondering why we do that at the end rather than the beginning. Is our body in a stall?

 

Also, if anyone has any thoughts about what to take to heal a muscle. I need to get walking so my muscles don't droop down to the floor. Already my butt is hanging at my knees figuratively speaking! Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

 

Kay

Hi Tammi,

 

I wasn't trying to imply that eating acid-ash producing foods, like meat, was the only contributor to migraines, as I'm sure there are other factors. I remember a teacher I had in 4th grade would often come to school and wear her sunglasses all day long, keep the lights out in the classroom, and make us sit quietly at our desks with our heads down for most of the day! Mabye kids cause them! LOL! Seriously, though, I've just heard so many successes from people who have a splitting headache or migraine and take one dose of PP and it goes away! Exercise also blows off acid pH from the body as well, so that may be one reason why that helps so much.

 

Anyway, I'm just giving advice I've heard others say works. I'm hardly one to preach on this subject as I don't get headaches or migraines at all. Lucky I guess! LOL!

 

Best,

Kelli

Hi Kay,

 

I would recommend 20-30 minutes of exercise each day. That's the best.

 

Also, if the migraines or headaches are usually triggered by hormone changes, then maybe the Female Formula could help. There might be a slight imbalance that your body is fighting against.

 

Sorry to hear you tore a muscle. Have you been advised how long you'll be "down"? To help heal that faster I would do either hot and cold showers or compresses and Deep Tissue Repair Oil.

 

Heal quickly! Best,

Kelli

ARGHHHHH! 20-30 minutes! My muscles will fall off the bones and my bones will disjoint from their sockets. That is a long time!

 

When my leg gets better, I will again revisit exercise. I know I need it. *sigh*

 

I am going to get the female hormone. I live near Sacramento, CA and I went to my little store in Vacaville where I get my herbs, and it was gone! Oh gosh! I don't even know what to do now. I might have to order over the internet.

 

Any places that stuff is not too expensive?

I know, I know... exercise should be a 4 letter word, but you'll love yourself when you start, really!! For me, having my husband to run with is really great. He's a much better runner than I am, and he encourages me and keeps me going. Maybe you could find someone to exercise with and encourage you?

 

On the Female Formula, you can contact Doc off-list and he'll help you out.

 

Best,

Kelli

ARGHHHHH! 20-30 minutes! My muscles will fall off the bones and my bones will disjoint from their sockets. That is a long time!

 

When my leg gets better, I will again revisit exercise. I know I need it. *sigh*
