a little help with endo symptoms From: Lori (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu Jan 8 08:35:38 2004 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Softball: "Re: are the majority of the women here in their twenties and thirties?" Previous message: anonymous: "Re: New to board" just writing in to give everyone some ideas on what has helped me with my endo symptoms.it may not work for anyone else, but perhaps it will......... a little history first. i have had endo since i was 15. I am now 31. my symptoms have been very severe, and i have had unbelievable pain, bladder problems, intestinal problems, etc. I have tried lots of different pain medications, non-prescribtion, and prescribtion. Have seen around 10 different doctors over the years, without much luck. Had been on Lupron for over a year at one time. It was horrible the first 3 months, then did help a bit after that. But the pain was still there, my bladder pain and intestinal pain especially! The last doctor suggested 3 surgeries, and I started to think this was the only way. After reading stories on this site and others, I made a choise not to have the surgeries. It seemed like it was making our pain worse instead of better.So I researched even more, read everything i could on endo, talked to people, asked questions. What I found out and have been doing was amazing. I started on an ALL organic diet. It is a little harder and more expensive to shop, but worth it 100 times over.( I'm in the midwest, Dominicks has an organic grocery store inside of them now) I avoid breads with yeast in them, and went to goats milk and cheese instead of cow milk.I avoid sugar, although I found that organic food has very little refined sugar in it. I also use natural honey instead of sugar to sweeten my tea, etc. I eat alot of ocean fish, and range free meat, perferable grass fed, not grain fed.I also started taking Noni Juice (known for anti-inflamitory properties) and flax seed oil. I make sure I do atleast light exercise everyday. I wonder if having what is considered a type of auto-ammune disease (which endo is)makes us more sensitive to the chemicals, nitrates, and hormones that are put into our foods, soaps, laundry detergents, etc.?? Sometimes i feel its that my body seems to be allergic to estrogen. I've also read that people with endo have a harder time absorbing calcium. I do take calcium with vit. K,from when I was on Lupron, and have kept taking it. I have been PAIN FREE!! It took about a month to kick in completely, but I could feel a change within the first week. I dont wake up with pain, and I dont go to bed with pain. It is shocking how well this is working. I dont know if it will work for others, but I have to atleast let you know. My next step is to get filters for my drinking and shower water that not only takes out harmful stuff, but also puts minerals back into the water. If anyone is interested I'll let you know if it works. I hope this helps some out there. If anyone wants to email me privately feel free. -- Lori foxmoorefarm@msn.com Next message: Softball: "Re: are the majority of the women here in their twenties and thirties?"
