My name is Lynsey and I am a 30 year old Endometriosis sufferer. My symptoms started when I was around 17 and I have never really had 'real' periods. I had them for about a year and then the pain started. I have had one ovary removed when a cyst became twisted and my gynaecologist said it was the biggest one he had removed in a 30 year career. Since then I have had a couple of laproscopies and the surgeons have told me that I only have powder burns and scarring where endometriosis used to be. However, when you are still not having periods and cannot have intercourse because of the pain, (and all the other various symptoms) you know it is still lurking there somewhere.
So, I bought your book, about two years ago. I have been on a Mirena Coil which was working at the time with little side effect, or so I thought, and your book was consigned to the back of a cupboard. However, recently the Mirena was giving me a lot of nasty side effects and I really wanted to get rid of it. So, I decided to give your plan a wholehearted chance. I was fed up of being constantly acne ridden, bloated and feeling like I would never be able to have an adult sexual relationship properly. I have eaten all of the recommended supplements for nearly three weeks now and my skin is completely clear (which it hasn't been now for some years without acne medication). I am eating as much organic food as possible and as many vegetables, fruit, seeds, nuts, beans and pulses as I can. I have cut out diary and wheat. I feel like a different woman and everybody keeps telling me how absolutely fantastic I look. I have also come off the anti-depressant tablets that I have taken for two years. I will keep you posted on the other bits. I am not expecting a miracle cure, but I have never felt this 'comfortable' in my own skin. I will keep on updating you as your book requests.
Thanks for writing it,
Lynsey
