Hi Ladies,
I recently went to see my Gynecologist to get an ultra sound due to the horrible cramps I was getting. We thought it was my ovaries again. However, all was good! No signs of any problems. A few days later, we went on our road trip to the mid west and for 8 days I did not have access to my Soy or Almond mild for my meal replacement shake from Melaleuca. So instead, we used water. Lo and behold I never had a cramp again! When we returned, it dawned on me that it may be the Soy milk or Almond milk. So I tried the Almond milk and yes, the cramps returned. Soy milk - cramps returned. Needless to say, I am milk free and pain free. I don't know yet if non-fat milk will produce the same cramps but I am going to try it and I will let you all know. By the way, not having soy or almond mild also took away my joint pains that I was having every morning. Woo hoo!!!! Who would have thunk it. I used Soy milk for a year and according to the research I did, it can cause horrible abdominal pain and other problems if you can't tolerate it. I am so thankful!
Cramp free for now!

Owie..pain in the lower abdomen?
Hi Ladies,
I have been having pain in my lower abdomen for weeks now. My gynecologist says to make an appointment for an ultra sound...yuk! I am trying to figure out when it started or why but nothing comes to mind. It basically feels like my ovaries are going to EXPLODE!!! My doc asked me when the pain comes. Does it happen if I'm constipated? If I have gas? If I need to pee? Well yes to all and no to all. It happens no matter what.
Any one else out there have these pains?
I thought I was finished with the menopause symptoms but I guess not. Or, perhaps this is related to something else.
So, since I have been feeling bloated, and have a lot of pain in my joints, and muscles, and feel like I'm retaining water, I have decided today to cleanse. In other words, no more sweets, no more pork, and very little meat. I have found recently that when I eat pork, I am in excruciating pain the next day. It also makes me retain water. I don't know if I'm allergic now because this has never happened before or if it may be something else.
I will let you all know.
Menopause No MORE!!!
