.....Can You Walk the Walk

I made a lot of assumptions when it came to the Menstrual Cycle and Menstruation. I now realized that there is a lot I do not know about it. I put up some links.

I got my treatment plan from JJ. Wow! Kind of intimidating but not as intimating as a hysterectomy, so to me the plan is doable. I’ll up date the My Regimen Post. The hard part (relatively speaking) looks like the diet and just the shear volume of things I have to do. I have to be diligent, persistent and patient. I can’t miss or skip something. For example yesterday I forgot to take my Reliva (Iron pill) and I started bleeding and cramping again. Luckily when I got home I had some shepherds purse tea and it stopped. But missing that one pill set me back even if it was for a few hours. I may go Vegetarian. I can still eat chicken and very little organic beef but Vegetarian is the best course of action. It takes the most discipline. I know yesterday I was all fired up about diet and nutrition, but it's easy to talk the talk. We are talking no Pork Chops!!

I informed my primary doctor and my Interventional Radiologist of my holistic approach, and my blog and I received positive feedback from both. The Interventional Radiologist suggested I also see a fertility specialist in regards to my fallopian tubes because s/he could tell me if my tubes can be unblocked and if they will work again. I will do that but not right now. I do not think I am emotionally ready to deal with the can or can’t I have a baby. I’ve compartmentalized all this and I can only deal with one piece at a time and my focus now is keeping my uterus.

In this blog I am sharing my course of action in regards to my fibroids that is based on the recommendation of licensed and experienced Doctors and certified Herbalists. If you think you have similar health issues, I urge you to go see a medical doctor and get a diagnosis. After that if you decided to treat your issues holistically than see a certified and recommended specialist.
