Posted on Mon, 26 Dec 2016
Question: good morning....
i am using turmeric for medicinal purposes as directed by a friend appears to be familiar with a natural approach to ailments. I have been using it for about a month and a half and increased it very much in the last few weeks. I have just gone thru the worst part of a very traumatic move, relocation etc etc.
This month my period is so bad...the pain in my lower back and lower abdomen is hideous and i have a very high tolerance to pain. My bleeding associated with my menstrual cycle is very heavy but also very "watery and red blood in color" with blood clots as well. I have not ever had a period such as this. I am 50 years old..... and i have always been in good health. My recent blood work in mid-summer, August I believe, was so good that my Doctor asked me again what nationality am I as he said all of my thorough blood work, etc and tests, etc came back as he put it..... "extremely well....and that I have teenager organs"...... I do not feel well now, however....and I feel "odd downtown when I am replacing my "super-size tampon" that I "fill up very often"........ What do you think? Thank you
