A Newie with Stage 5 Endo - Advice?

[Gigi1]

Ha Mumszword, you make me laugh. None of us a prefect babe. The worst of it for me is that i crave sugar like there is no tomorrow at the worst time of the month, just before AF. So it agrovates it. You just have to do what you can, and one ting at a time. When i first found out i had endo, a long time ago and had a cyst removed, i went on a big detox and cleansed out my diet. But have always had a weakness for sugar and cheese. One by one we just started growing a dislike for things. eg stuff with numbers in it, or stuff with artificial sweetners, or MSG, or flavourings, or palm oil etc etc etc. ONce you take off one at a time it is not so overwhelming. Thats if you want to do it that is!! hee hee.
We now use coconut oil on our skin instead of moisturiser, that is our latest change.

Besides you thin ki am a health freak, you should see my mother. My brothers can't stand to go there empty handed these days or they would starve. (there is never anything to eat- they would say) well that is nothing that can just be opened and eaten with out soaking or cooking etc etc. It is brilliant. i would love to have that one day. But for now we still have a bit of packaged stuff. There is some expense involved in going back to basics and time too, you have got to be able to make time.

A work in Progress is a good way to put it. Well done for doing what you ahve done so far. Who knows why we have endo babe, whether is is emotional, environmental or diet or whatever. If we knew all the answers we would not be here!! But we need to try and find a way of making it heal so that it doesn't create other issues later.

As for frangranced stuff, read up on Zenoestrogens and Phytoestrogens, it is interesting and although it is not conclusive, there seem to be a few links to these things in our lives that play with our hormones unknowingly.

I will leave you alone now, you poor tning. I keep thinking i will calm down and have less to say one of these days but i guess that hasn't happened yet. It is interesting reading back my posts to myself. I try not to change them, but i do learn so much about myself and what i need to address.

Take care and speak soon
