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.

lucky you - you've got chickens! I wish we could have some chickens only dh won't go for it and its against zoning laws where I live. the neighbors would likely complain.
now back to your menstrual pain... what's your diet like? I get that type of connective tissue pain down the legs, and it disappeared once I completely cut out dairy and caffeine.
ever read 'foods that fight pain'? forgot the author, but I bet you could get it at the library. a very interesting read, and maybe could be a bit helpful?

Alemama mentioned once that pineapple and ginger are anti-inflammatory, some others too, I think.
I know that you don't want to even find out what is causing this cos it will take you into the court of the evil medical machine. Just do it when you are ready. You will probably have to eventually. There is no harm in finding out. It's your body, not theirs. You do not have to take them up on treatments. You can stash them up your sleeve for if you really need them. Pain does horrible things to people.
Just don't get into that cycle of depair again. It does you no good; I know what it does to you. I can hear you crying out from here.
Whatever it is, it will pass.
Take care.

I'm better today
After 3 down days.
I eat really well - I think. I hardly buy any processed food. I bake my own whole grain bread.
I snack on raw almonds. I eat a lot of Kim Chee -that I make. I have kefir -that I make, instead of milk. We eat mostly wild game. I don't eat much sugar or salt. There's no Hydrogenated crap on my shelves.
I do have one or two cups of coffee a day - but not when I'm menstruating and there is no other caffeine aside from a little expensive chocolate now and then.
So - I really don't know what I could cut out. It's probably more about adding exercise. I'm fairly thin 5'10" 140lbs. and have always been in good shape but since this POP nightmare started I really don't get much exercise.
I really can't get around my anger and distrust with mainstream medicine, and with this issue all the more so. I just feel too vulnerable and humiliated by it all to dance with those a-holes. But yes it is a stubborn position that won't get me any answers, leaving me - without answers ! All mute - considering lack of funds or insurance anyway. Missing days of work every month and fearing the pain isn't working so well either.
I will look for that book and see what I can learn - 'cause this really sucks. I appreciate the support and a place to wave my fist at the sky.
Hugs,
Zelda

I know... lucky Lucky me
I've got such a great spot here. I'm out of the city limits but still close. My H isn't very happy about it either.
He sees them as a money pit when you can just get eggs at the store (never-mind "quality") and even worse it will prevent us from jumping on the motorcycle (which we no longer even have..) and take off whenever we want. But keeping egg cartons for the last couple years was my little clue that it was coming. And since we have separate house-holds (still) I feel it's within my rights to make this choice and he doesn't even have to participate - unless he wants to eat eggs...teehee. Yup - I'm a wicked conniving woman who's been doing it his way for a long time. I really missed having them and with the economy on it's face I think it's smart to get back to basics. And I love having them in every way. I found an heirloom breed that must be about the perfect chicken - called "Dominiques" - a docile breed with roosters that like their bellies rubbed - according to one source. I'll just be happy if they aren't chasing the kids.
Thanks for the book granolamom - I'm sure I can find it, and will.
Hugs,
Zelda
