what do you mean the stuff from the gyno was messing with your teeth?? what kind of meds would do that?

following your story, i am so encouraged! just had my first visit with the homeopathic doc....3hours and a bunch of supplements later she gave me hope! i have endo, pcos and insulin resistance.

Sorry I was kinda rushing and was copying and editing an email I sent... I am a bit more open on this forum then in my emails

Any type of horomone therapy, aka, BCPs, will mess with your teeth, rot them, get strange stains, all sorts of nasty things, but it has been known to happen with pregnancy too. I was on a 3 month pill, Seasonique, that instead of only having AF every 3 months, I got it every 3 weeks!--so I dropped it and jumped to the naturopath.

I hope your journey goes well too... it takes time. And everyone is different. Your plan for back to health is probably completely different from mine-- and I realise this more since I found that she was treating me for the mind, which is where all my problems start (and now magnesium)... But best wishes on your adventure ---and i could only hope that your results are as good as mine so far

BAH!! What a whirlwind the past two months. figured I'd throw in an update. SOOOOOOOOOOOO April --went to florida, relaxed. Got back, and I got a UTI--normal stuff, right? Easy to fix, few antibiotics... simple.... NOT! So, Antibiotics didnt work. Went to my ND, over $400 later, went back to the regular Dr, and got screamed at for going to the ND, told there was nothing wrong with me, and are sending my to a urologist!

When I had my Lap done last Sept, they found Endo on my Urethra. They think its "obstructing" my urine, causing pain. So they wanna stick a camera up there and take a peek. O_O........ (havent done that, scheduale for a consult 6/30).

So, the pain gradually spread to my spots. My spots being my endo spots. Once we figured out it was the Endo...we changed the treatement. I've now been put on DIM complex, which is supposed to help my liver get rid of exess Estrogen, and change bad estrogen into good estrogen

. I also recieved Acupuncture. WELL--the pain didnt go away, but instead, the very next day BOOM--AF (its been almost exactly 2 months since my last one--and being a PCOS victim as well, thats kinda exciting!!). So, myabe my horomones are justa bit slow, and the UTI showed upw hen I shoulda been getting my AF if i were normal. Interesting huh? So, this one was a tiny bit more painful then the last one, and lasted 5 days, instead of 3--but, still...no screaming for death, black outs, or not being able to walk and deal with life!! So I'll take it!

She also gave me something to get my liver going (Ive always had problems with my liver) and this should help things too. Lastly, not endo related, but my whole back was outta line, and I got adjusted (for the first time ever) -I origonally had a headache, but it went away right then and there, amazing!! Im so excited to start this journey and hopefully get my life back!
