Hahaha! The pig brain thing cracked me up!!!
Yucky! And I too would much rather have a pig as a pet. My son (who is 4 and has autism) likes pigs a lot.
I had my entire uterus and cervix removed last August. A couple of years ago, I had been suffering from almost non-stop bleeding, like one LOOONG period that never ended. Boy was that awful! My Dr. recommended I have a hydrothermal ablation to see if that worked. So I had that done in September 2008. Basically, hydrothermal ablation is when they have boiling hot saline solution shooting up into your uterus to get rid of as much of the endometrial lining as possible. My lining had been very thick. Of course, you're in the hospital knocked out cold when they do this! It made my bleeding stop for three months; then my periods came back again. Each month got heavier and heavier. Then early last year, I was having horrible pains too. Like my usual horrible period pains, but like ALL the time. Got worse and worse. Ultrasound showed I had a uterine fibroid that was growing. Since I wasn't having any more kids (my last pregnancy with my son was so bad, I almost lost him twice - long story!), my Dr. said if I was her daughter or sister, she'd recommend the hysterectomy. I had tried BCP in the past; but they all either make me throw up all the time or give me constant migraines. So I had the hysterectomy last August. She said the fibroid was twice the size it was two months earlier; and it was buried deep in the muscle, and pushing on my bladder. No wonder I was in pain! And she said I had adhesions EVERYWHERE in my pelvic cavity. It took her 45 minutes to clear them off my bladder alone. They're from my two c-sections I had, I'm guessing. SOOO ..... after about a month recovery, I no longer have pain (except the occasional ovulation pain) and I don't have periods anymore. Hooray!!!
Wow, sorry that was so long!
I have lots of health issues. Oh well. I totally need to try that Apple Cider Vinegar! I can't stand my cellulite. If it weren't for that, my butt and thighs wouldn't look TOO bad. And I'll take your advice, and not take a huge whiff of the bottle when I open it.
My order from Swanson's just shipped today; will probably get it next week sometime. Bad news is, I'm gonna run out of my SBT before it comes in! NOOO!!!!! So I'm gonna try to spread out the last couple doses I have and only do two capsules a day. I wonder what effect that will have??? My luck, I'll totally stall and never grow again. I must think positive!
We are in the process of moving. We just sold our house a couple weeks ago, and close on it the end of the month. We're moving our little three-ring circus into a rental condo for four months while our new house is being built. So far, I'm not letting the stress get to me; and it's not affecting my growth.
The last couple weeks were HORRIBLE for us; we had four house showings in one week! It's so unbelievably hard to get the house completely fixed up, toys put away, all vacuumed; and get all of us and our dog out of here before the buyers come in. To top it off, our dog get EXTREMELY car sick; so I can only drive five minutes to a nearby park and just park there for an hour, so she doesn't throw up in my car (which she's done a few times already). Yep, good times ..... NOT!
Do you live alone? Or with family or friends?? And how is that liver cleanse coming along??? I wanted to try milk thistle, but I saw on the label on the bottle it said that it's not recommended you take milk thistle if you are allergic to ragweed. And, of course, I'm like REALLY allergic to ragweed (among other things). I would like to get in a cleanse at some point. Maybe after my nine months of BB? There has been so much information on this forum about the different cleanses out there! There's gotta be one for me!
How much longer until your cleanse is over? And will you be starting back on BB when you start the SBT???
I'm glad you appreciate my "uniqueness."
