Re: Fibercystic Breasts Anyone?From: Tonya (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 31 Aug 2003 09:39:10 -0500 (CDT)
I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE FIBERCYSTIC BREASTS. I DRINK LOTS OF WATER AND TAKE FIVE VITAMINS A DAY ON TOP OF MY BIRTHCONTROL. I EXERCISE REGULARLY,WHICH MY DR. SAYS IS GOOD TO STAY ACTIVE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE PAIN DOESN'T GO AWAY AND IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE THE MORE I EXERCISE. I HAVE TRIED THE HEATING PADS AND THE 800MG OF MOTRIN ON TOP OF 1000MG OF EXTRA STRENGTH TYLENOL. THEY DULL THE PAIN FOR A WHILE BUT IT COMES RIGHT BACK. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON ANYTHING ELSE TO TRY. IS THERE A BOOK THAT MIGHT HELP ME FIND THE FOODS AND DRINKS THAT CONTIAN CAFFINE? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU At Tue, 4 Mar 2003, Char wrote: > >My mom, my sister, and myself used to have fibercystic breasts.

IT IS A DIESEASE CAUSED FROM THE CAFFENE IN YOU R SYSTEM . I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE IF ANYONE HAS A SIGHT I CAN GO TO OR HAS THERE OWN PERSONELL KNOWLEDGE OF FIBERCYSTICS DIEASE. THANK YOU R >>> >>-- >>Hi, there I too have had FBD. for some years it is getting worse I feel so many lumps that I do not know what to look for and I am afraid to go and check them. What I have learned about firbocystic breast disease is that it is a hormonal problem when you have too much estrogen in your body. Apparently there are things you can do bit as of yet I have to check them out. What I plan to do is see a naturopathic Dr. and I think they may help with herbs and Vitamins. I also read that Vitam E help taken in small doses starting at 500 mg for the 1st week than next week increase to 100 mg and the next week to 1500 mgs. They say that this helps Dr. Lee has a book on this I am going to try and find it. Also a natural progesterone creme again yet have to find the research on these methods but will keep the forum updated when I do. This is a very scary problem for us women especially if you don't know how to tell the difference between cancer or cycts. I have had 3 mamograms and I am only 38 I do not want ot have them everytime it is dangeroud. Right now I am in the midst of getting them check again but I want to start some other therapy before i get them tested, the no caffeine and these others also trying to find Dr's who deal in this matter. I would love to hear from anyone who has any other probelms like this Thanks Mary !! >>
