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.

Cake
Hi Lousie
The book sounds interesting and I hope you have success with your current line of personal investigation. I'm concentrating on meditation, releasing and relaxing and allowing the body to heal. I'm having mixed results as the headless man will confirm. I'm trying to enjoy this new chapter of my life and remain aware of my many blessings.
Cake receipt follows but first please give me your thoughts (ladies) on this little kettle of fish.
My prolpase has almost disappeared. When I look in the mirror first things pretty much all I can see is my urethra. Everything else is all shut up just as it should be....however. This seems to have done nothing at all to alter my symptoms. My main problem is bending over. If I open my legs and bend my knees so that my lower abdomen is not squished, I'm fine. If I forget and squish my lower abdomen, that's when the trouble starts. Also if I am walking with a shoulder bag round my neck so it kind of softly bounces off my lower abdomen - the kind of thing we normally do every day without thinging - that's a no-no. It hurts. Something in there must be very sensitive.
I'm guessing my organs have moved down even though I have no visible prolapse. It's as if they are also very sensitive or inflammed and if you squished anything in this condition, you would make it worse. I also have chronic indigestion. I just feel as if I'm inflammed from the top to the bottom. Thinking of going to see a herbalist. This mornig I made congee or rice porridge and had it with tumeric which is supposed to be a good anti-inflammitory.
Anyway, you can have your cake and eat it!

Cake and pain
OoYum, Sally. I Can't wait.
Questions about your symptoms.
When you look in the mirror, are you on your back, or standing in WW posture with legs astride and mirror on the floor, or hunched over sitting with the mirror in your hand, looking down? Or hanging from the chandelier?
Re the shoulderbag thing, is it a soft bumping or a solid thumping that produces the pain? Can you produce the same pain with your hand on your belly? Can you produce the pain by pressing in other spots? What happens if you sling the bag over one shoulder and rest it on your butt?
Maybe the pain is not prolapse-related at all? Maybe you need to see somebody who palpate your body and help you to identify the bits that are hurting?
It does indeed sound like you are inflamed from top to bottom. Alemama listed some anti-inflammatory foods somewhere. Ginger was another one, pineapple, and garlic too, I think.
Cheers
Louise

Chandelier swinging
Thanks Louise. I'll search the archives for anti inflammitory. I keep chandelier swinging strictly for sexualy purposes (ha!). For self exams I stand with knees bent, holding mirror in hand.
The handbag is just normal walking pressure. I do ususally swing it round that back instead. It's not pain, I'm just aware that it's not comfortable. Just like sink against belly when peeling potatoes is not good either. I have had LOTS of palpating. Last gynae found this sore bit on my front all and poked about in it, making it sorer. She didn't really offer any explanation but neither did she express any concern. I have another appt with her (she's the best so far) in a few weeks and I will definately keep it.
I really shouldn't moan when I read about my sisters with all these little ones to care for. At least my time is my own. Sometimes I make art and I've been wanting to make some prolapse related art so that at least something good comes out of it. I did this today. I have a blog I and can upload them to if anyone wants to see.
Off to get myself a pineapple.
