I can say I was lucky as a young lady, getting a monthly visit from “Aunt Flo” was uneventful. Unlike a few of my friends, that would miss school or would have to leave school to avoid an embarrassing situation. My generation never really talked about it. It was just something that happened, you dealt with it and moved on.
My Problems started shortly after the birth of my daughter, there were days that I couldn’t go anywhere for fear of the dreaded accident, taking medication just to cope with the cramping and pain. Always wondering how the next month was going to be and counting down the days for the week of sheer torcher.
I have never done well with western medications, lots of side effects and reactions. Found out the hard way that I was allergic to penicillin. (swelling in mouth and throat, I think I was 10 or 11) truly not a good experience, lol. Even taking the prescribed meds for pain… because at that time I felt I had no other choice, the problem wasn’t being solved and it was getting worse.
I decided I had to make some changes, lifestyle, food, stresses in my life. I can, however, say that finally I have "Aunt Flo" under control and she no longer controls my life.
Over the last 5 or so years I have had some awesome people come into my life. Opening my eyes to exploring how to level up my health, lifestyle so that I don’t have to suffer in silent and just deal with it….
It is not normal to be in pain just because you’re a woman. Growing older should be easy and graceful.
We have so much life experience to share with our younger ladies growing up. I don’t want to be the one to say "enjoy it now while your young because it is all down hill from here." Good god, how terrible does that sound?
We live our lives to have our kids grown, enjoying our grandbabies, having the freedom to really do as we choose. Having fun, being responsible for just yourself again, lets face it, it is pretty freeing.
I can not lie; it was and still is a journey, but I feel we all should be our own doctors first and respect the knock that our bodies give us. Only you know how you feel….
Hi! So a little background on me. I am a Mom of 2 girls 29, 23, Grandmother to 3 grand babies (all boys), a Wife to an amazing fellow who is so supportive and my best friend, I am a Micro Current Practitioner, Aesthetician, also I am naturally a care giver to others.
I have worked in a Nursing home for almost 20 years in support services and in nursing as a RA. I have always been so interested in how the body works and heals itself.
When I worked in nursing home, I use to be the first to volunteer to help the RN with bandages (and because I like what others would think is gross, lol). Years ago, there was not all the technology there is nowadays in the way of pressure sores and such with the bedridden residents. Even doing the turning and repositioning, break down of the skin integrity was almost inevitable. To see such a trauma so bad, happen to an already comprised body was heartbreaking.
I, over my 13 years in the nursing side, have seen sores heal that were so awful, amputation was discussed for fear of gangrene setting in. These people healed with a push of nutrition, protection of area, proper bandage care…. It was amazing!
That got me thinking, if food could really be that powerful……… why isn’t everyone using this to heal?
We have become a society of convenience, looking for the easy quick way of covering up the proverbial knock of the body saying there is something wrong, please help….
It just makes me unhappy to see so many, young and old, so sick, and unhealthy.
We were made to be here on this planet! Self healing and self regulating giving the right environment! Your body is an amazing piece of machinery!
My mission is to help educate people with all that I have learned to maybe get them on their own wellness journey.
Stay tuned there is so much more to come!!!
