Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi le, I don't have any suggestions for you, but I do wonder if you could help me with something regarding ovarian cysts. Before the removal of your ovarian cyst, were you periods extremely painful, as painful as having a kidney stone? Were they painful in your back? Since I was 16, I've had extremely painful periods and very bad back pain on the lower left side. Normal pain medication does nothing for the pain; I've tried homeopathic stuff as well, but no luck. Finally (years later), they did a sonogram and found a " small " cyst in my ovary, at the place where I have the pain, but since it's small, they don't really care and think that it's nothing. How did you get surgery and would you recommend surgery for me? (Are there things in my ovary that a sonogram would not pick up?) I've had the same pain there for years-- normally, I hear that cysts are supposed to go away. Mine hasn't (nor has the one in my left breast: my left breast's nipple and areola is always itchy/burning period or no period! They found a cyst there also with a sonogram but thought that it was nothing, but it's causing me pain every day...). Any advice is appreciated, thanks! Hello, new to mscured, but not to MS Hi, my name is Dannielle. I have spent some time browsing mscured and find the information plentiful I look forward to getting to know some new friends here and learning! I was diagnosed with MS in 1993 and I have only treated it naturally... never taken any of the suggested man made meds for MS. I was on the list, way back in the day when I was diagnosed, and my name came up about a year later... but after much research regarding the drug, as well as MS, I kindly denied. Anyway, I am listing my 'health record'... due to the new health problems I have, I am once again researching for healthy, natural alternatives to treat not only the MS, but the female issues as well. Any suggestions are much appreciated! History: * Born in '67 * As a child I had multiple extreme allergies, to the point that radical changes in lifestyle had to be followed * 1982/83 - large ovarian cyst found, when they opened me up, they found tons more along the walls of my uterus and had to do exploratory surgery to remove them as well... that is also when they found the endometriosis for the first time * 1987/88 - laparascopic surgery for endometriosis as well as damage that was done from the first surgery, I had terrible scarring and my ovary had healed to the uterine wall. I was told the 'flap' of skin that is supposed to cover and protect my female organs was twisted and balled up into a corner, so they 'fixed' that * Jan 1991 - 1st child born - C Section * Feb 1992 - 2nd child born - C Section * 1993 - had several (5 or 6) teeth removed surgically, due to the fact that they were rotting from the inside out and they were breaking apart. There was concern of the infection making me sick (I was experiencing symptoms, which was later diagnosed as MS), many of them had fillings (there are no more fillings in my mouth) * 1993 - was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (started natural treatment) * Sept 1994 - 3rd child born - C Section - Because of my history of scarring, they had to cut away and clean up the scar tissue from my past two c sections. I also had my tubes tied, cut and burnt * 1/17/07 - Starting living a 'healthy lifestyle' for weight loss... over 50 pounds gone thus far * I did not see any type of doctor from 1994 until 2010. - Because of the MS, I had a 'pre existing' condition and I could not get insurance... did not qualify for state help and could not afford the higher rated (very expensive) pre existing condition insurance, so I had none * April 13th, 2010 - First doctors visit with the GYN: Anemia (9.7), Endometriosis, Fibroids, Prolapse of the uterus, Chronic pelvic pain & Heavy bleeding - (this doctor has given me only 3 options... Lupron drug, UAE (also known as UFE) or a complete and radical hysterectomy. I am NOT interested in any of those, which is why I am researching diet, vitamins, etc...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Welcome le. Good for you not succumbing to the mainstream drugs. A lot of us seem to have had fibroid problems and teeth problems immediately prior to diagnosis. I'd get your amalgams removed and I bet you'll feel better. The other thing I have found helpful is the Best Bet Diet (BBD), basically removal of gluten, lactose and legumes from your diet. A healthy way of eating for anyone and you'll see the pounds disappear as well as a lot of the little symptoms of MS. Exercise, especially swimming, supplements - expecially vitamin D3, relaxed lifestyle (though not sure I could manage that with 3 kids ). Look into CST (cranio-sacral therapy) which can help a lot, especially with scar tissue. Keep your eye on what is happening with CCSVI. None of these are " cures " but help to chip away at some of the symptoms. Janet (PPMS diagnosed 1995) To: mscured From: teachx3akadannielle@...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 , thanks for the link of info, very interesting article... Dudley Delany, I have read your page before... thanks for reminding me about it p/s: read your profile, AMEN Brother! Janet, yes my teeth problems have been my entire life and the female problems since I was at least 15 years of age. I had all fillings removed back in '93 right before I was diagnosed with MS. My kids are almost all grown now... only one still left at home, and I am also a Granny now!! Thank you for all the advice... I will be looking into each of them. conanobriengirl, yes they have always been. Back when I had the cyst removed, it had burst within me, so I had no choice... I had to have emergency surgery. My body does not heal well, I have a severe scarring issue which in turn when they do any type of surgery on me, I end up having worst issues than what I went in for. And endometriosis loves scar tissue... For you, I suggest you try a new GYN... get a second opinion and then maybe even a third. Was your sonogram internal? That is another option for you... and also an MRI. I, personally, am not an advocate of surgery (or even doctors and the man made drugs they try to push) however I am not completely against modern medicine either. I want to thank all of you for the warm welcome and the information you have given!! Back to research!

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Conanobriengirl, Since you said any advice is appreciated, I just thought I'd put my 2cents in. I suffered from ovarian cysts for years & yes they were often ferociously terrible. One day I was watching public television & on a natural health show they were talking about ovarian cysts with the suggestion of drinking a cayenne pepper tincture of 1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper mixed with 16 oz of hot water 3 times daily. After 1 day, I got it thru my head that this was not what I wanted to do, but I made sure to add 3 Tablespoons of cayenne pepper per day into my diet. For you it may be easier to use the capsules. For me, this worked marvelously, shrinking the cysts down to nothing. Seriously, it was that easy.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Sounds easy enough. I've gotten a lot of advice and I'm going to try (almost) everything that I can, this certainly being one of them. We'll see what happens. Thanks so much! Re: Hello, new to mscured, but not to MS Conanobriengirl, Since you said any advice is appreciated, I just thought I'd put my 2cents in.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 After years and years of pain (sometimes as you described - like a kidney stone) and also after having an ablation to reduce the severity of bleeding, I opted to have exploratory surgery and gave permission to remove whatever might have been causing problems. Turned out that I had a lot of endometriosis and scar tissue in addition to a huge blood cyst. The ovary and tube were both removed and the scarring and offending tissue removed. I've had little or no symptoms since. Of course, I had three surgeries in as many years, and I feel that all of it might have contributed to the onset of the MS symptoms. Surgery is serious no matter how minor and should be carefully considered.
