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.

You did right SweetRoseMarie!
Walking and doing errands is a part of life. It sounds like you were careful, but determined to get things done. Hurray!! Now rest awhile. You will be so much better when you can begin the exercises. Just start at the beginning of the dvd and do as much as you can, trying to do more each day. I wasn't perfect in the beginning, but I worked my way up to the first 20 minutes each day before I go to work, and the entire workout on the weekends. I try to walk every evening. As I said in a response to another thread about food allergies, I have many health issues as well.
I am 56 years old with thyroid deficiency, diabetes, back issues from broken and misaligned tailbone, diverticulitis, high cholesterol, 3rd degree cystocele
rectocele, urethracele. My urethra is being pulled backward sometimes painfully with a kink. I realized when I found my prolapse eighteen months ago, I needed to address all of these issues to give myself the best chance of permanent improvement. Trying to fix only prolapse would not give me the quality of life I want. I decided fixing me was going to be my first priority.
I began with Whole Woman posture and exercise. I improved my diet and addressed by food and inhalant allergies. I saw a chiropractor and fixed my back pain and pampered myself with message to relieve stress. I found a homeopathic MD and began supplements to help address my adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism and insulin resistance.
To date, I have lost almost 30 pounds, take less glucophage, less armour thyroid, no back pain (unless I overdo it), and my doctor at my last pap smear said my pop is mild now.
I guess I discovered its easy to take our health for granted when we are young, and it takes great effort on our part to regain and keep our good health as we age. I feel great. The journey back took much effort. I feel very empowered by the work and the whole women who helped me.
Let us know what we can do.

Melly...I Still Have Hope...Thank you So Much
Thanks so much Melly for sharing. I have tried to take it easy today but the cystocele is much more pronounced than yesterday. Maybe I over did it. I just hate being stuck in the house. With the UC, back issues, and systemic allergic problems I have become a hernit. Pretty much house bound. The prolapsed bladder happened three weeks back and of course scared me to bits. After reading the stories posted by other women I have decided maybe I can somehow cope. I am waiting on my WW bundle and hope that I can come to terms and learn to live with this. I just want to be able to take care of normal things and to not be a burden of any kind on my hubby and daughters. I have not been the same since I had my gallbladder removed in 2003. I never full recovered and the IBS-D and now UC have limited my life so much. I miss out on many gatherings and family outings. Now with the baldder prolapse in it's third stage I find myself even more linmited. How can my GYN simply say stay off your feet?! How can I live my life that way? I have to try and find a wat to make my life livable again. Melly you are a true source of encouragement. You will never know how much I appreciate your insight and kindness. Thank you so very much.
