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.

Yes Ang, it is a constant
Yes Ang, it is a constant roller coaster especially at the beginning. If you've been slacking off a bit on posture and exercise, could that be contributing to your slowdown? Yeast infection probably isn't helping.

Hi surviving60
I have on the exercising but still hold the posture. I think the yeast thing just threw me under the bus. Thanks ~ I just get so angry sometimes that I have another body issue, but at the same I'm grateful I always find some resolve and learn more about the nuances of the body. And then I panic. I appreciate the comment.

That didn't make sense
Lol. I've been doing that all day~ I get angry and frustrated - then panic. THEN I'm grateful once I read these posts, pull it together and remember to trust my body.

Hi Ang, I can agree with Surviving about Yes it is a roller-coaster in the beginning. I'm only 9 weeks into this and I have found I'll be doing great and then boom I'm having a bad day. I do think that our stress and emotions do have something to do with it though. Someone else on the forum said this and I found that she was right. Try to keep your chin up. It may be nothing that you are physically doing or not doing. It will get better with time. Just keep the WW Posture at all times if you can. I find waking when I am feeling my prolapse the most seems to help me. I think Christine said this also. I just go out and take long relaxed strides while keeping my back foot onthe ground as long as I can. I keep my chest up a bit and take in deep breaths through my nose. This helps me and it may help you or someone else on the forum I hope. Hang in there and I'm sure it will get better. I have found like many others that this program works. Best wishes to you.
Hugs, Jaylove

yeast infection
I had vaginal thrush earlier this year and it made my cystocele 20 times worse. I felt dragging and a bubbly type sensation in my vagina and I was exhausted all the time. At the time I didn't really associate the two but as soon as the thrush cleared all that went away. I could only conclude that the inflamed and irritated tissues just made everything feel so much worse.

Jaylove and Curiosity~
Thanks so much for the feedback. I read this on my phone earlier in the week and then kept forgetting to log in on the computer and say thanks. I agree the inflammation and such made it way worse. i still having itching and irritation, but I'm pretty sure the yeast infection is gone and things are MUCH more bearable. I also do believe in the connection of mind/body/spirit. I am reading a very interesting book by Mona Lisa Schulz Awakening Intuition ... about just that. Cellular memory and how our bodies are intuitive and constantly communicating with us to clear old traumas and imbalances in our lives. Reproductive organs are within the 2nd Chakra and the balance between Power and Vulnerability in each chakra is key. Anyway, I felt like she was writing to me as I read some of the case study examples. Although different symptoms, similar in many ways. So, thanks for the encouragement. Despite much understanding and trust I still have set backs here and there and always appreciate being set straight:)
Hugs back,
ang

Ang, your welcome. That book you are reading sound very interesting. I may look into reading it myself. I have had some child-hood traumas myself. Hope the book helps you. Let me know if it does. O.K.? By the way - are you from Kentucky?? You don't have to answer that if you feel you would like to keep that private. Anyway I am living in Kentucky and am wondering if anyone out there is also in my neck of the woods. Oh, well, maybe I'll never know. I'm glad things are much more bearable for you. Hang in there.
Hugs, Jaylove

Im still reading it ... I tend to skip around and go to sections that interest me. I read her first book: the new feminine brain and enjoyed that read. I'd say this book is helping me. I was able to identify that I was excessive in my power vs vulnerability in this chakra: I really isolated myself a bit and delved into a lot of solitude (which was necessary) after my brother died a few years ago, but I had gotten to where I felt like I didn't need anybody around at all but realize I do. For various reasons ... But to make a long story short - the timing of this was right for me. She's lead me to see the lifestyle patterns in a way. When I discovered my prolapse and this site and perimenopause was beginning I bought a few books and have been on a mission. I also see a healer. If you ever want her name - she's excellent and can work long distance.
Also I have been trying to walk more based on your recommendation:). I am not in Kentucky unfortunately.
~ be well
I'll share more as I read more ... Or let me know if you look at the book. They might have it at the library. Amazon has used ones sometimes for cheap.
