"Christine is no longer posting to the forum."

Well, now, this is sad!

Can you please ignore fuss and just continue informing. I really appreciate the clarification you offer from all you have learned. We all have stuff to share, but you do come from a unique perspective based on so much focused research.

Just discovered a website with some great vege recipes.
www.101cookbooks.com
Fibre is "king"!

Have given up my evening glass of wine...feel the sugar
may contribute to bladder infections.
Have always avoided "refined sugar" (diabetes in family)
and this was my last sugar "attachment"...
feeling free!

I plonked this in here as it's not POP related...

I just noticed the Happy Birthday thingy at the topo - But there is no reply bit..
Thanks

(I have cancelled today as I don't like the number - lolllllllllllll)

Thank You

hello
not posted for a while. i had a lot of positive upwarm movement of my cervix from working on posture and help from an osteopath (from roughly 1 up to 2 inch hight--i was very pleased)
i was feeling like i could beat the buldge. finally got refurred to a physiotheraphy . but my phyio, after an exam standing up was very negative and doesnt think the trainning will help, but she said i was welcome to come along to the sessions anyway.... this comment has brough me back to the negative place i was, beleiving that i wouldnt get better.

Something I’ve been meaning to ask:

My upper chest has developed a cushioning padding and my chest looks to have more lift. I have attributed this to muscle development from posture work.

But I also have a slight thickening, running vertically exactly mid-sternum. It can’t be seen but I can feel it. I was hoping this was also related to posture work? Maybe a small muscle developed there? I do pull my chest up many, many times a day as I find myself losing posture. And I do chest raises as part of exercise.

Could someone please explain this to me - I have searched the forum and don't fully understand it so would appreciate it if someone could explain so I do :-)

Thanks

With some trepidation I feel the need to weigh in on the recent controversy. I’d like to offer two data points that may help clarify what has happened in the past and hopefully provide some opinions about what has fueled some of the drama here in recent weeks.

A few weeks ago, I joined this forum and purchased Christine's book. I'm post-menopausal with a moderate cystocele. At the time, I was quite depressed about the prolapse and its implications for my lifestyle and health. I'm not saying it has all been resolved. However, I have gone for a couple of weeks with no discernible "leakage," which has helped tremendously on the psychological side. I attribute this largely to following the pictures and text in the book that explain why a cystocele leads to incontinence, and how to empty the bladder completely.

Hi, I've been here for over 2 years! The sight has been very informative and helpful!
Now I find myself getting down and thinking about surgery again! Then the other thoughts come to remind me I will be quite different and not able to lift or do a lot of the things I always do now! I'm a very hard worker at 64, still have a part-time job and keep a house! Which includes doing my own yard work and digging, etc!!

Today has been a great sunny day here in the UK (Makes a change)

Myself and my POP went out and about for the majority of the day (No complaints about the POP, I am living with it and it is living with me - lol - So to speak...

I really do wonder sometimes though (Its a good wonder)

Is the reason I have no pain and no problems other than the peeking the fact that I have been in posture for like three or more years? Hmmmm - Makes me wonder :-) But I tell myself on the odd bad day - I have NO pain - This is NOT life threatening - I WILL be OK and - I AM Whole :-)
