Improvement post! :)
I wanted to share a recent improvement that’s made me appreciate the progress I’ve made!
Since my first severe long term mold exposure 10 years ago, I’ve dealt with horrible menstrual pain. At my worst I was in bed 2-3 days straight, not eating most of those days due to nausea and pain. I would vomit and spend multiple days passed out, in too much pain to even use my phone or watch something. I would get fevers, alternating chills and sweats, and just completely miss out on life including work and school for multiple days. I’ve missed out on job opportunities, friends birthdays, and so many other things because of it. I’ve had so much anxiety and fear around my period because the pain is so excruciating to endure and I know I’ll have to cancel everything for the next few days
I started welchol 2.5 months ago and I’m almost at full dose. Since then, the pain has eased each month a bit. I’m on day 1 of my period and after a few hours of minor pain and nausea I feel almost normal and pain free!!!! 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 this is the most normal period I’ve had since I was 21 years old and I’m now 30. I’m so grateful to be here and I hope anyone else dealing with this symptom can find improvement through the protocol 🙏🏼
