Ladies, this one's for you...
When you think of "that time of the month", do you think white jeans & sundresses? Do you think about skipping thru a field of daisies or riding your bike along the boardwalk in short shorts? OR do you have mood swings so severe that your husband can pick out the time your period will start within the hour? Does your abdomen cramp so bad you have to lie in the fetal position just to get a sense of relief?
That second scenario has been me--and getting worse--since I had my Bubba Boy, just over 4 years ago. Here's a picture representation for those of you who like the visual...
Yep. Every single month.
But.......my friend Dawn told me about acupuncture. She told me she could help me. Seriously, my other option was having my GYN put me under anesthesia & burn out the inner lining of my uterus if I wanted to try to make this go away. I decided it was worth a shot.
Dawn told me that these treatments take time. This isn't voodoo or something that will happen over night. This is a process that will require continued treatment before we can move to a maintenance phase, but with the right treatments, my body can heal itself & start to correct the problems without a O.R. procedure. Y'all know how I feel about the O.R...acupuncture, here I come....
I was a little leery...I mean, I don't know anything about this needle method of medicine. I'm not overly frightened of needles--I've seen my fair share in the past 6 years, for sure. But I'm also not fond of just getting poked to be poked. A little education & an open mind was all it took & I tell you I will never go back. Scroll back up to see that visual of my uterus before...
After just my first 3 treatments, my husband didn't even believe me when I told him my period had started. Where was the PMS? What about the crazy mood swings? Yes, my first period post acupuncture...
So, whether you are dealing with a massacre in your uterus, a pain that can't be relieved or just overwhelming stress in your life, please contact Dawn. She will take VERY good care of you. And I promise, you won't be sorry!
