Hello, I am 45 years old, no children by choice, and for about 5 or 6 months I have had severe pain during the first 3 days of my period. I have always had cramps, but have coped with them - this is something else altogether. SEVERE pain in right side, radiates around to left buttock cheek and down right leg to knee. Feels like dead leg or nerve cut off. Core of pain just under hip bone and in right groin area. Cannot get comfortable in any position, massage does not help, hot water bottle does not help. I went mainly vegetarian 5 years ago, and stopped taking any conventional medication, so am distraught that the only thing that takes the pain away (temporarily and not immediately) is 2 paracetamol. This is really bad as I have sensitive gut and I am trying to heal it, so toxic pills bad :(
Firstly - what do I have? (I will not go to patronising conventional doctor ever again).
Secondly - is there a permanent natural cure?
Thirdly - I have read about apple cider vinegar, but take this long term every morning 1 tbsp. anyway and still got these symptoms. Tried molasses but did nothing and do I have to take it every day forever?!!! Tastes awful to me. I read about Iodine as solution or systemic enzymes? And then interested to know if anyone knows about copper toxicity being a cause. Being vegetarian and suffering from migraines and heard that these were also connected to copper toxicity.
THANK YOU if you can enlighten me in any way, I am grateful to hear from you.
