sisters,
this situation is not by any means new to me. Been going on for about 10 years. my doctor(s) have all simply prescribed the pill for me (because it regulates periods). in fact, i've been on quite a few different brands but they all make me either physically sick or way too moody... so i stopped taking them altogether earlier this year. i've had all kinds of tests run ultrasounds, blood, thyroid, check for fibroids, etc, but none have pinpointed the cause.
with that being said, the reason i posted this was to see if anyone had a non conventional way of dealing with the condition.... mind you this entire year has basically been devoted to looking for alternative methods. I've gone to a doctor of oriental medicine, folk remedies, etc etc.
I shyed away from "regular" doctors because I know women who have had this problem often end up undergoing hysterectomy, basically losing their uterus and yes sister Destee I am a young one 23years (so yes, this has been going on since i got my period in the first place... and adds to why i left regular doctors , this should have been resolved in 10 years...) but i eventually want kids, so um i'm gonna need to keep my womb parts .
Sister Destee asked to let my mother know (i had to at this) she is well aware, in fact she went through the same thing; difference is she had a procedure done to clear out her tubes, but doctors don't really perform that anymore. as far as heredity, i'm sure it's hereditary because i have aunts, great aunts, cousins and my own mother who have delt with the same thing. Thing is, they all resolved it it different ways. From having fibroids removed to basically having all reproductive organs removed-- which leads me to believe that much like diabetes, menorraghia is just a body response to certain conditions.
With all that being said. the concern is appreciated but really i'm just looking for some unconventional information to get some new answers--which seems like i'll have to find myself.
i probably should've said some of this in the original post, but goodness it's long.
Sister Kee ... okay ... that does help a lot ... Thank You!
As Sister Queen mentioned, we have our very own Dr. Alfred Hitman here, who hosts a class on Thursday Nights @ 9 pm ET ... if no mistake. He always has an answer for those who are seeking alternative methods of dealing with medical situations. I've not seen him stumped yet!
I'd encourage you to let your Mother sit in on the class too, kinda okaying any suggestions provided ... though i realize you are a whole grown woman and everything ...
Yeah ... check out Brother Dr. Alfred Hitman ... you can ask your questions to him, and he'll answer ... live and everything!
I hope he's able to help.
Much Love and Peace.
Destee
