Hi Melissa
A year ago i started having problems monthly. I started hurting up under my diaphram and all around my lower stomach. The pain would start as soon as the egg dropped and all the way through my period. I also have a tubal. Well when I finally went to the doctor I had h-pylori. I had ulcers all the way through my digestive system. Well we got the h-pylori cured but I was still having problems monthly same time every month and still do. This month has been the easiest since this started a year ago. I am also menopausal at 46. When all this started I was working for 7 old ladies and I thought I was just experiencing menopause and so I asked all of them what it was like. No one could tell me ....they all had histerectomies. Thanks to the medical field I still did not know what menopause was like. My thoughts were no one could deal with this every month...no wonder they had histerectomies. Ok so i have done some research and I feel all of this started because I was so toxic. I have been reading alot on the liver and how it all works. So far I have found out that when the liver gets backed up and overworked it will use the lower abdomen to dump excess toxins that it can't deal with at that time. That is why we end up with cysts on the ovaries or other female problems. I also read that this is the way we get ulcers too. I also feel it has alot to do with the lymph drainage. I have been doing some light excercises,walking,riding a stationary bike, lifting some 1lb weights and also I have been jumping on a little matteress every day. The jumping helps move the lymph system. The lymph system does not have a pump so the exercising gets it going especially the jumping action. I have also been doing the oil pulling every morning. I think it is helping me. I am also going to do a the castor oil packs for the liver as soon as i can. I wonder sometimes what the body does with the egg since we have a tubal. My theory is that we got so toxic that the body just can't deal with everything every month. Well I hope this helps and here is a link to look at on the liver and female problems. Also look under the liver flushing thread on this site....there are alot of good links on the liver. I hope this helps a little and hang in there I know what you are going through and it always helps to ask someone going through the same things. web <a href="pagehttp://www.sensiblehealth.com/Journey-05.xhtml" target="_blank">pagehttp://www.sensiblehealth.com/Journey-05.xhtml[/url]</a> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yourmedicine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stretcher.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/byebye.gif" alt="" />
