Gosh, it makes more sense now!!! I'm in peri-menopause, with menorrhagia instead of a normal period. Pain is excruciating, as is the flow. I did a 40 hour water and broth fast before Aunt Flo arrived, then went with fish, fish oil, and low carb for the next few days. Aunt Flo's prostaglandins are causing excessive pain, but Im hoping it is short-lived. I'd rather not go under the knife, and Im not about to take any pills. So, I'm thankful for your affirmation that diet can change things significantly. Id love to gain some control over this beast, because, as it stands now, I am unable to work for 3-4 days once Aunt Flo arrives, due to the heavy bleeding and pain. <br />Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and knowledge here!

You have to start taking it 1 to 4 days before your period starts. And it needs to be around 30 mgs three times a day or 14mg zinc lozenges every couple of hours. This is stated to get rid of cramps. You only need to take it for the few days before and during your cycleAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719078779002366437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780625537812809359.post-23688471581676088672018-10-27T16:03:46.551-07:002018-10-27T16:03:46.551-07:00The mindfulness motion 23 has entered the mainstre...The mindfulness motion 23 has entered the mainstream, primarily by means of <br />the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn 27 and his Mindfulness-Based mostly Stress Discount (MBSR) program, <br />launched at the University of Massachusetts Medical School <br />in 1979.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780625537812809359.post-4207736399675037412018-05-21T14:37:17.155-07:002018-05-21T14:37:17.155-07:00Liana... this is one of the most empowering things...Liana... this is one of the most empowering things I have read ever read. I have suffered from 12 hours of excruciating pain, mood swings nausea and diarreah every cycle since I was 12 years old. I have consulted more doctors than I could imagine with no avail. Either they don’t think I am intelligent enough to comprehend what the true cause of the pain is or they have no idea themself because I always get the same response ... you have to take birth control. No explanation of what the root cause is and how to treat the cause not just the symptoms. I have been told I had endometriosis and diagnosed with PCOS all of which turn out to be false, like they were looking for a flaw to blame it on. I am a vegan, yogi who is super active and care for my mind, body and spirit. There was no apparent cause I have been so stumped. Last year I stumbled upon a guided meditation for cramps that described the pain as uterine contractions. This gave me some clarity but not a cause for why I have more intense and painful contractions than others. As I am studying to be a doula I have been reading a lot about prostaglandins which induce contractions at birth and in my research for a connection came across this post. I am so thankful to you for sharing information that allows me to take control of my own body and fate. I have sent this article to all of my friends and will refer back to it frequently until I find some diet changes that help to decrease the series 2 and increase the 1&3 prostaglandins. I am more appreciative than I can express! ❤️ Jenna RoseJenna Rosehttp://www.inflorescencehealing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780625537812809359.post-84911992040597226582017-11-11T07:13:58.748-08:002017-11-11T07:13:58.748-08:00I'm so happy I found this.

I was in hospital last week with cramping in my right abdomin which was so painful I was on the floor in tears at work thinking there was something horrendously wrong. The dr initially thought I had appendicitis it was so severe. Then they thought it might be a cyst but the ultrasound was clear. The next day, voila my period started! I use to get bad cramps when I was a teenager but my period settled out and at the age of 30 I thought I had it all figured so it was a shock to have such severe pain! I'm going to watch my diet!

I spent a full day trying to make it shorter, but there was just too much information, and it didn't lend itself to being broken up into pieces. May you find relief through your diet -- the transformation for me has been nothing short of amazing. Four months now with nary a cramp. I hope it works just as well for you and anyone else who reads all the way to the bottom of my post!<br />Liana at livingwithpmdd.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527230725501073923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780625537812809359.post-4747838972815116152014-06-16T08:03:42.741-07:002014-06-16T08:03:42.741-07:00Hi Liana.

I suffered a vasovagal attack from the pain and my heart rate dropped to 35 bpm. I thought I was gonna die :( I had to be given a shot of adrenalin to get my heart working properly again. <br />Anyway, I went to see my gyne and she gave me a scan to check for fibroids, cysts, endometriosis etc but my womb and ovaries looked great. All nice and clear. Then she mentioned prostaglandins and said I would need specialist pain relief as normal painkillers don't do anything. Im seeing a doctor sometime soon for that as soon as the letter from my gyne comes through. <br />Thanks for explaining what these prostaglandins are and how to deal with them via diet. I shall certainly be keeping an eye on what I eat from now on! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955762758175355264noreply@blogger.com
