Hello,
I too am on CBC therapy, i have just started to sometimes (3 times a
year) have a period to let my body be what is naturally is. I feel bad
at the time but after i do feel better. I am now in my 6th year as a
severe aggressive endo patient & i have beeen on TCM since Nov 05,
Accupuncture since 2002 and Massage/Physio off & on since 2003.
SLOWLY i am noticing a difference. I say DO what up u feel is right for
your body. If u want to 'skip' periods then do it, u are the one who
lives with Endo 24/7.
kind regards Sami koala
