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.

prolapse after menopause experience
Kathy, I went through menopause 13 years ago and just discovered in December that I've joined all of you with prolapse. Thanks to this wonderful website, I'm now doing just fine, thank you!!! The way I look at it there will always be something we have to face in our lives. Because of this website I no longer think facing prolapse is a catastrophe--I'm too busy enjoying my life. Though I have to admit there are times when I'd rather not be bothered by my prolapse. It is just that having this website has given me a new perspective about the situation.

You're going to be better than ever
If you stay with the postural work (and my hunch is that once a person really integrates this there is no going back), uphold a healthy diet, avoid surgery and harmful medications like HRT, at sixty you will be better than ever.

Why avoid HRT Christine?

HRT
Because it’s impossible to make “bioidentical” hormones in a laboratory that are released into the body in just the right amounts and combinations with other substances too numerous and intricate than science or the pharmaceutical industry have any idea. Did you know that most women prescribed HRT discontinue it on their own after a few months because they feel so lousy? That’s data!

There was a huge study called the Women’s Health Initiative conducted here in the States that shed a lot of light on the issue. Here’s the link:

prolapse after menopause experience
A very wise answer, somer. You are absolutely right about there always being something we have to face in our lives. Thinking that life will only bring us what we want, and keep away things we do not want only brings disappointment and resentment, and life is too short for that. Accepting things as they are, and not being afraid of them is a wonderful gift. It brings to mind the Serenity prayer.
Lord grant me the strength to change the things I can change,
The serenity to accept the things I cannot change
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen
Cheers

Menopause and Prolapse
I was in perimenopause when I felt my prolapse (2000), full blown menopause at 55 and I am almost 60. I have been on this forum about two to three years, adopted the posture and haven't felt anything getting worse. I think the uterus shrinks during menopause and that takes some of the weight off when it starts to "wander." Other than that, most days I don't even feel the prolapses and I have the universal ones.
Like your forum, Christine. "Looks rich."

Hi Sybille!I’ve thought
Hi Sybille!
I’ve thought about you so often and worried a bit because the last time we heard from you, you only talked about the weather – not that there’s anything wrong with talking about the weather! LOL, but I hoped all was well with your health!!
For all the newbies, Sybille was one of the first ones to give the posture a try and report back and also to defend it on another site that was making mincemeat out of me and my “cure.” :-)
So glad you’re here and well.

Menopause and Prolapse
Thanks Christine~
I probably haven't written as much because my body is "rusted" inside and out - a year's worth of rain and counting in the last four months. I am SO READY FOR SUN.
Of course, a new grandson takes a lot of my time and my job has become more demanding. Other than that...I honestly have to admit to everyone here - how one carries themselves will lessen if not "take away" the feeling of all prolapses. I "baby" myself, but still engage in daily activities that include exercise, walking and the like. Picking up the grandson hasn't been a problem as long as I am "prepared" to pick up heavier things and bodies.
Just look at the way a toddler stands and you've got it. It never ceases to amaze me how we gradually are reverting to the make up of a toddler's body - NO WASIT! I laugh and love life.
