These are my morning supplements. I take approximately 60 supplements throughout each day
What causes endometriosis to get worse? What are the things that help to reduce endometriosis?
I have no fucking clue. I run through these questions all of the time. I wonder what I am doing that is making this worse, what can I do to make it not so bad? So, I've tried supplements, the endo diet, removing all bleached tampons and pads from my life, I have been reducing the chemicals in my beauty regiment (shampoos, conditioners, soaps, face washes, make ups). I've tried acupuncture too, which was quite nice and now I'm starting with essential oils. The supplements changed my moods drastically, from being so incredibly moody (to the point that I couldn't even stand me) to being a much more tolerable human being. I believe my mood got to such an awful place from having my ovaries spliced open and all of the damage that had been done to them to cause my hormones to be completely out of control (my naturopath agrees). The supplements also have seriously improved my digestion. I could sometimes go for weeks without going #2. Now i'm basically an everyday kinda gal. Since being on the supplements my periods have gone from being 30 days long to about 4-7 days. But here I am, waking up to pain in my ovaries once again. Not being able to hold my pee very long and feeling pretty "full". So what gives? I dumped my specialist after he was persistently pushing me to take the lupron injection and for also being semi creepy and really negative about the outlook for my reproductive parts. He was ready and willing to take out my uterus and ovaries. Now i'm searching for someone new, who may be able to offer me different treatment options. I suppose this is the frustration of having endometriosis. It's a process of figuring out what works. I have been thinking a lot about the word disease and know it to be "dis ease". Part of my next treatment plan is going to involve therapy. Perhaps there's something buried deep within my subconscious mind that is causing my endometriosis to be so persistent. I urge you to read these articles about dioxins and also to watch this news investigation into the use of lupron. The things I know for a fact through all of the other uncertainties related to endo is that lupron is not a treatment option, and dioxins just ain't no good. http://www.endometriosisassn.org/pdfs/Endo-and-Dioxins.pdf Endometriosis affects over 175 million women worldwide, approximately 1 in 10 women have been diagnosed with endometriosis. That is a HUGE problem.
