Having symptoms today..what am I forgetting

Good grief. I have symptoms every day of my life! Are you having that many symptom-free days already? - Surviving

OK, those are just the normal ups and downs caused by things we can pinpoint (overdoing it) and sometimes things that we can't pinpoint. Setbacks are normal. Relax and work through them. - Surviving

One of these days I'm sure both you ladies will learn to relax and just live with your prolapse and not be crazed and obsessed. It will happen. But you need to just dial down the anxiety a bit. You're getting there. - Surviving

Sierra, you said somewhere recently that you were having trouble losing your fear. I can clearly recall that when I started this work, I immediately lost my fear. I mean instantly. Before my book had even arrived in the mail. I can't explain this, but it's the reason I have stressed this so much in my posts to newbies and others who are still holding onto that fear. Once you have gotten to the point where you can absolutely see for yourself that this works, and you can understand why it works.......how can you stay afraid? And I don't mean just you. I think I am the exception. Which makes no sense to me at all, because I was born a worry-wart and I will die a worry-wart. But I have zero fear for the future of my organs. I wish everybody could do that. - Surviving

Hi Sierra, I do have a suggestion! I like to wear more of a board-short than a bathing suit bottom when I am doing stuff around the water. I have several pairs of women's board shorts - some shorter and some longer length - and I wear them with a bikini top, and sometime I wear them over a tank suit, or with a tankini top ...

I wear them because I prefer them, not because of my POP (mine doesn't hang out) but they would camouflage it well I think. They are way comfy.

And that is just my point. I have been a worrier all my life. So if could just relax and move forward with this work, and not get stressed out about it all the time, I like to think that anyone can, if they give themselves half a chance. - Surviving

In your first post, you hadn't had a morning BM. When that happens to me, I know that regardless of many tricks I pull out of my WW bag, it's just going to be a 'heavy' day. When I am able to have a complete morning BM, I usually get many hours, if not the full day, feeling asymptomatic. Or virtually so, but so much of it is tied to my cycle as well.

Surviving is right- these bad days are inevitable, but when they do come, not being thrown by them or too stressed out by them is part of what makes WW so valuable. Any stress exacerbates Pop symptoms anyway so it can be a vicious cycle. You are so very new at this and have done so well. Don't get down on yourself or stressed that you are getting stressed by a bad day. They stink regardless, but they can be taken in stride knowing that the next day is much more likely to be a much better one.

I'm so glad you were feeling so much better by the end of the day. :) I too wish I had S60's dial!!! But through the course of this work, mine now does go down a lot further than it did in the beginning- yours will too. Hope you're having a wonderful day today!! :)- gr8fl

(This is also for our sweet SH -also in your early days....in time, this work helps symptoms to become less stressful in and of themselves....hard to believe in the beginning, but it really is true. :)

Hi Guys

I just found this and thought you both might like it as I did. Read the post by Louiseds as the response to the opening post. I searched wide radius lumber curve to get this post but I think it covers so much more about our organs inside of us and why we might go back and forth in our prolapse symptoms.
