I started taking it almost daily for about two weeks when my knee was bothering me. It worked so well that it became habit because I am on my feet all day at work. Today I am expeiencing the worst constipation & pain of my life... 31 years! I tried taking laxatives and stool softenenrt and they are just now beginning to mildly take effect but I believe I was close to going to the hospital. I could barely walk and sit in the car to drive! I also have a fever and would caution users to be... View full comment

I have also just started him on Holy Basil, (omnicrom sanctum), which is an antioxidant with many other properties. Have just read about crushing 2 cardamom pods to make a tea with honey and u...

For the first year that I was taking Yaz it was great - regular and much lighter periods, zero cramps, zero PMS. It was really wonderful considering I used to have very heavy and irregular periods, extremely horrible cramps, and pretty bad PMS (irritability, mood changes, bloating, fatigue, appetite increase, etc.). Yaz made that all disappear. I swore by it, I really did. But recently, just within the past couple months, I have spotting ALL THE TIME (sometimes like a full on period in the m... View full comment

This is a horrible drug that caused all kinds of side effects and made me miserable for the last 2 years. Started taking it due to gastritis from NSAIDS. Tried Pepcid first but got acid breakthrough after 1 month. Tried 10 mg capsules of Omeprazole, but they had a nasty aftertaste. Bumped up to 20 mg, then 40 mg. Constant bloating and abdominal pains. Started to get acid reflux a month later. Tried several times to taper off Omeprazole, but the acid rebound was incredible. Tried Nexiu... View full comment
