Endometriosis, Vitex, Birth Control

I find Grizz's frequent posts on women's sexual health paternalistic at best, if not downright creepy.

[QUOTE=namelesswonder;965560]Vitamin D is necessary, too, but even if Vitamin D deficiency is evidenced by depression, taking Vitamin D might not cure depression for everyone.[/QUOTE]

Here is my research report on Vitamin D3:

* Where to get your at-home blood testing
* Proper dosage
* Right kind of D3
* Impact on the Immune System
* Much more

Any other questions?

The TROLLS have just moved into this message thread to destroy it. I suggest you ladies who are suffering from female problems do your own research on Google.

Key in your symptom such as:
PCOS iodine

Or

Fibrocystic Breast Disease iodine

and read the [URL="http://goo.gl/OCZHT"]Testimonials [/URL]to make up your own minds.

Don't let the TROLLS stop you from doing your own research on iodine,
Grizz

I'm sticking with "downright creepy". :(

I've had a lot of similar issues with crazy pain and anemia due to blood loss since I was a teenager. I hated the first few birth control options that I tried. Mood swings, depression, uugh. I've been on Nuvaring now for about three years and LOVE it. I leave it in for four weeks and then swap it out. No bleeding :) Could not be happier. Obviously different for every woman but I just want to wish you luck in finding something that works for you.

All?

ALL???

Grizz, you have gone way too far. That's the most ridiculous statement I've seen, and there have been some bizarre ones.

Pot? Meet kettle.

Get a grip.

And I'm agreeing with both paternalistic AND creepy. Not to mention a severe case of tunnel vision.

PLEASE stop advising iodine supplementation for everyone on the planet. It may help some people. It may even help the majority of the people. That still doesn't mean it is the answer to every problem that everyone has.

like i've said in response to grizz's sweeping generalizations i can't even remember how many times now, IODINE HAS NOT CURED MY PCOS

cutting out grains and fake foods helps female issues tremendously (i had/ve a lot of them), i wish you luck

[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3]ugh -- please stop with the iodine derailment. the downsides of overdosing on iodine far outweigh the absolute impossibility of me taking too much ginseng.

i had the iud placed last august. i figured i would give it 6 months to sort itself out. by january the negative side effects were pretty hairy, so that's when i started really fine-tuning with primal. i.e., bone broth, oogly bits of meat way more often, vitamin d3, [B]seaweed[/B], etc. the synthetic progesterone utterly sucked and i often wonder how much worse i would have been if i hadn't improved my diet. my diet wasn't "bad" before -- no grains, no fast-food, all that, but i was more broken than i realized.

if you think the vitex will help, you have nothing to lose. i'm happy to tell everybody how much "being on the dong" has helped me. ;) and my gyno can suck it.[/SIZE][/FONT]

From what I have seen, the results with various options are going to be all over the map with any remedy. I had a lot of success with the Mirena IUD (almost 7 years now - on my 2nd one) and I know some others that did as well, but I also know a lot of people absolutely hated it and made things worse.

A friend of mine had the endometrial ablation and felt better for a few months, but now she's back to where she was before. My sister had it and was happy with the results.

I usually try to weigh least invasive against most promising and find a happy medium somehow.
