When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Hi Louise
I haven’t been around much lately and have been very hesitant about posting due to my emotional state. I am afraid that I have given up and am pursuing the surgical route. I know this will not sit well with you all but I am absolutely miserable and terribly depressed by the whole situation. I have hardly left the house in weeks so I have decided to take my chances. I hurt and ache and my prolapses have become so much worse in such a short space of time that the only way I can get anything done is to wear a sea sponge. This is causing some irritation so can only be a short term solution and I can’t wear tampons anymore because they hurt. My organs hanging and bulging like they are still freaks me out today as much as it did in the beginning, I can find no acceptance of this nor can I find any level of comfort. I am just now trying to focus on the successful outcomes that I have read about and hope to be able to have as many years as I can prolapse free to get on with my life.
I thank you all for the support you have given me over the past months and I wish you all the best.
Take care of yourselves.
Signing off.

Ah Anita,
You've been on my mind. I know you have been the dubious holder of the end of our spectrum.
Makes me think of snap the whip on ice-skates, and off you fly...
I guess I am just worried that you haven't explored/mastered pulling your focus in to the day and " moment" of what you can do to
make things just a little better, stretches , short walks in posture, massage to help things adjust to posture, blah blah You Know what I mean...
I just don't quite buy this broken fascia business and I really believe the strength of our recovery RELIES on a shotgun approach.
If you stay in posture long enough the body starts to heal, the rest is your own willingness to be good to yourself and your body and make the necessary changes of progress.
You have age on your side. Maybe your hormones need to be looked at ? Maybe that is part of your looseness ?
Are you overwhelmed ? does it feel like just more changing than you are willing to attempt ? ARE you skiing the whole Mountain at one time ?
Are you handing off the responsibility to a "doctor" ? (Accupuncture, acupuncture,acupunture,naturopath)
I am only pulling the tough love here because it's anonymous. Otherwise I would hug you and say the same things the gentle tactful women have posted
and know that we all have our paths and need to ultimately be unconditionally loved and accepted. Which is what we are feeling for you, I see.
Please think carefully. Get yourself close to wild-ground and meditate alone on this one, you'll then feel most confident of your choice is my opinion.
I do my best thinking looking out at the ocean of forest around me on these beautiful mountains. What's your nature ?
Big Love to You Anita,
Zelda

I had a feeling that you were having a rough time. You have always been here to greet and welcome everybody in such a kind way-your absence has been noticed. I am so sorry you are having a lousy time. We are here to support you no matter what decisions you make about your body.
Much love to you,

hey, we still love you!
I will not judge someone whose symptoms are intolerable. I think that its prudent to read up on surgery and give something else a go before jumping onto the operating table. but if all else fails, you have to weigh your options. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't get through the day with my prolaspes. just be sure that you are really really at the end of your rope with this, because as you know, there is no undoing surgery.
I hope that if you do pursue a surgical option, you have a good outcome. and I hope you do keep us posted.
wishing you well!

I know; I know...
Dear Anita,
I know exactly how you feel. I was there 17 weeks ago. I was tired of it, hated it, was trying hard to live with it, and if I had had decent insurance, I would probably have chosen what you're choosing. After another 20 weeks, I have changed my mind. My heart is right with you, however, and prayer from my little ones.
I hope with all my heart that you are mended successfully. I hope you fly through this thing on angel wings. Please continue to be with us. We have all chosen different paths in our lives, and this path should not separate us.
Judy
