Re: One for the ladies - period pain

[Guest guest]

Ouch, sorry for that pain.  Maybe for that pain- a hot water bottle, deep

breathing through your abdomen (breathing through the area that hurts is even

affective for knees!) and some warm soothing music. 

I to have wondered about the replacement " treats " .  For me, sewing and quilting

is my go to for feeling better.  But when I am out with the kids or need a fast

fix and sewing is not an option, I am sorry to say that I am still reaching for

food.  I am working through that of course.  My desire is to do like

suggests, " drop inside " at that moment.  Reach for the core of what is going on

inside my head and work through that instead.  But these habits have long been

in place so I guess undoing for me has been a journey that I am still traveling.

Hoope that helps.

Alright folks, I have a question. I'm learning to re-train myself to think of

" treats " as other things - so if I " deserve a treat " I take myself for a walk,

do some gardening, or play my guitar.

However, today I had a doc's appointment and discovered that my IUS had fallen

out (eek!) and they had to remove it entirely and fit me with a new one. Now I'm

stuck with the period pain that goes with it and my normal " treats " don't help

if all I want to do is curl up on the couch, eat doritos and squirm from the

pain.

I'm ashamed to admit that that's exactly what I did today. D'oh!

Does anyone have any techniques for replacing the normal junk food " treats " with

something else when you're feeling under the weather?

I'm with Lori--when your body is in pain, treat it to rest. And in that case,

probably herbal tea to go with the hot water bottle.... Hope you're feeling

better today.

And Lori, in situations like that, when I'm tired and drained want to be curled

up with a book but I'm with the kids--it sometimes helps to remind myself that

being a present mother is something I want, and actually visualize being there

as something that is renewing instead of draining. Even if I don't actually end

up feeling renewed, it at least stops the draining feeling

.

My " treats " when I am in pain are a hot rice sock on the belly, some sort

of tea, and a nap on the couch curled up in a ball. When you don't feel

good, a nap is really the best treat!

Thanks , I like it.  I have on a few occasions, when complaining, used that

as a signal to start being grateful.  But I forget and it is good to be

reminded. This was excellent advice, because in no time they will be all grown

up and I will wish I was here again!

Hi All,

First off, to Charlotte - is an IUS and IUD? If yes, my body rejected two this

year, so I can totally empathize with the physical pain you are experiencing.

I couldn't agree more about taking good care when your body is hurting.

But thank you for the great advice that when I'm craving time to disappear

and read or be alone but my daughter needs me, it's a great time to remember

that I CHOSE to be a parent and that she is getting so big so quickly. I will

miss the days when she wants to be with me and I want to be a present, attentive

mother.

Feel well everyone!
