Hi!
The road to recovery sometimes gets intense. Here are my tricks to deal with some of the difficult sides of healing. Hope to hear your tricks too!
 

Blemishes (a BIG problem!!): mineral makeup! I am using Meow cosmetics foundation... I also like Dr. Hauschka bronzing powder as a blush. I sometimes steam my face and do a clay mask (if you can tolerate this) to which I add some lavendar Essential Oil or Oil of Oregano.

How do you manage to sleep in the same room with your husbands?  My husband is a light sleeper and has trouble sleeping since I get up so much at night.  He started wearing ear plugs, which helps slightly.  I am open to any ideas.

I have a question about pollution, does anyone know whether it influences the treatment if you are living in a polluted area?  I live in Belgium and I know that the city where I have been living all my life is quite polluted, most countries and areas are more polluted nowadays but I wonder whether this can contribute to our healing process?  Not that it would be possible to move to another city but I was just wondering...

Thanks,

Vicky

Does anyone else have problems taking probiotics?  I take very small doses but do not seem to tolerate them well.  Especially my bowels get really irritable on all of them.  My bladder doesn't like the digestalac and bifidus.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

Have any of you had flares from stress?  I am trying to figure out the pattern with my flares.  Today I had to watch my niece and nephews in addition to my own three children.  My kids are pretty good and my neice and nephews struggle with hitting and defiance.  I was so exhausted when they left and felt a flare coming on.  I ate perfectly today.  I am wondering if the anxiety and stressed caused it.

hey everyone. my boyfriend has really bad teeth and he constantly has toothaches day to day that he says are very painful. he wants to take antibiotics(which he has in the past) for the teeth but im trying to get him to hold off and see what i can find herb wise. if anyone has any advice or experience with this i would greatly appreciate it! i would ask matia but i dont think she can give me advice for him since hes not a patient.

hi ladies and the men out there too

I want to do a sunday chat but i have had a real problem sleeping. i haven't been able to sleep till between 5am and 7 am i have been in a  lot of pain and having lots of die off.
I can't chat untill about 1pm pst time I hope that is ok? Matia just changed my dose so hopefully i catch up and adjust my time. Last night i watched every hr pass by.

Well take care  talk to you please contact me if you need the number.

  Today, I had major flares after lunch and dinner. Both meals contained Great Value olive oil.  I am wonderfing if regular olive oil could case problems.  The other ingredients were on list 1.  Do you think buying a higher quality of olive could make a difference?

Ok so I have a pattern going on with my exercise routien. Anything more then just walking seems to make me up for the whole night. I start working out just after breakfist too so it's not like i am working out too late. I am not doing anything intirely vigorous. either so I just don't understand it. I can't sleep at all after i work out and I am feeling so fat and bloated I don't go out much so it's important i get some form of exercise.

Any of you get this

Hi everyone,
I'm almost 4 months in treatment and certain things have gotten better, like my bowels, my bladder (urethra was also better but now worse again) but I really hate this awful leg pain!!
My groin and leg are also swollen for a long time now and I don't know whether the pain is endometriosis related or die-off or something else, but it's so painful around ovulation/menstruation. 
Does anyone else also have/had to deal with a kind of nerve pain and swelling in the legs or somewhere else?

Vicky
