I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better today. It was not my intention to frighten you unnecessarily with my previous post to you. I just wanted to point out the potential danger of excessive blood loss with a period. When this happened to me several years ago I had no idea how much danger I was in at the time and that it could be life-threatening. I had a history of pain and heavy periods for over twenty years and saw numerous doctors during that time so I know how frustrating dealing with the medical community can be. I was not satisfied until I located a doctor who was also well-versed in natural healing and began addressing my problems holisticly. He had identified the problem, but unfortunately I hemmoraged shortly thereafter so there was not sufficient time to address my condition with a more natural approach. However, the endometriosis has responded very well to natural medicine and my health has improved considerably. There are helpful doctors out there.
