Accidental DiscoveryFrom: Charley (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Aug 9 12:30:23 2001
This will sound odd, but this really happened. My girlfriend suffers from endometriosis and has lived with the pain associated with it for a long time. She has sought out various treatments to no effect so she had come to accept how it made her feel. When it has flared up in the past, I've rubbed her stomach, etc. to help relax her to some, if only a little, effect. About a month ago while doing this I put my finger in her belly button and , for lack of a better word, wiggled it laterally which basically made her abdominal area move back and forth. To our surprise it made the pain leave, becoming "numb" while I was doing it. It would return when I stopped, but after a few days of doing it off and on, she no longer has any pain. We figure it works along the lines of accupressure, and thought the interaction also worked on a psychological level also. She goes to school, and a classmate also suffers from endometriosis and was experiencing a very bad day about a week ago so she mentioned it to her. That night, her classmate started her period and it faded so she didn't give it a try since the pain abated some. However, the following day it flared up so she tried it and also experienced the same numbing effect. Summer classes ended right after that so we are unsure if she also experienced the longer term effects. We don't know anyone else locally who could try it, but I thought I should post it to possibly help someone out there get through rough times
