Thanks so much for sharing this Phoebe. I went to the doctors with this, was pre-scribed anti-biotics, and also followed your advice which eased the pain considerably and although at times it reduced the size of the cyst it would sometimes flare up again. I read about another alternative treatment called Serrapeptase, after 4 days after taking the highest dose I could find via amazon twice daily an an empty stomach the cyst has completely disappeared. I am so thankful for the lady that discovered this, and would throughly recommend that ladies you give it a try as I am pretty sure it was the medicine that finally cleared up the problem.
