Menopause and Premenopause: Soothing Cures

I am premenopausal myself, mom says at least another ten before it actually fixes what is wrong-- I suffer from a non-cancerous left ovarian cyst that I thought was basically eliminated by a similar chemical cryogenic procedure back in 1992 when I was bleeding profusely from a rather extended cycle. I was told the 'endometriosis', supposedly curtailed by the Ortho Novum/ LoEstrin birth control pills I was prescribed for a symptom of irregularity and heavy cramping, had developed into a rather uncomfortable sized cyst. It was not in danger of rupturing just causing pain via strangulation of the ovary and fallopian tube it rested on, so it was plucked, siphoned or whatever they could do to eliminate some of the pain. Within two years of bc's and intolerable pain through 1995, I was seemingly fine gynecologically, physically and psychologically and the cyst symptoms disappeared. Little did I know that it was still present until about three years ago. When I made the choice to abort my last child that under no circumstances would have survived should I have continued with the pregnancy, it was discovered that my ovary and fallopian tube had scar tissue that was creating a thickening. Rather than going the traditional birth control method route, I opted for researching soy and isoflavins. Loved what I found so I drank as much as I could stand. A few years later the cyst was very large, 6.7775cm and finally ruptured in June of 2006--the main cause for my system was adding soy to an already deficient Progesterone level and rapidly increasing Estrogen level which fed the cyst daily. Cysts feed on this stuff if you are me, AB+ blood type, slim, 5'5", don't begin eating till two hours after waking up, no longer consumes any white, processed sugar (only raw cane, the better sugar), and is generally pretty active.

Oh thank god that I haven't any serious problems...I'm in my menopausal stage of life as well....but nothing dramatic,..at least not what you described has happened to me--In fact, you'll laugh at this..it was about two years ago...I must have been having a real authentic genuine time of it of the hot flashes and drenching sweats..and it was in the middle of February to boot...Now years previously I had talked to a woman who was describing her symptoms...she said she was so uncomfortable with the hot flashes that she wanted to peel her own skin off, have the air-conditioner on even in winter..when she told me this I thought oh, gosh,she just must be exaggerating--until I got them...yikes...BUT --it only happened that one night...haven't had a bout since...gee, must have good genes or something--if I did have a rough time of it though, I'd use a natural aid too, you couldn't give me a million dollars to use hormonal replacement therapy medications-and what get cancer later??

yeh people can be funny, I was put on to Apple cider vinegar in water for my very bad three day headaches, while I wa on this I never got a headache which all the girls in my family seem to suffer, only me and my sister would take a smalldrink of this in the mornings rather than suffer with theae horrible headaches but other members of the family prefered to suffer the headaches...people are funny.
