But since starting these new minerals yesterday evening, I have had maybe 5 noticeable (barely) skips.

Now, I realize it could be psychosomatic or because my period if ending...but the decrease has been so dramatic and abrupt...I just dunno.

This month has SUCKED. I usually get them much more 7-10 days prior to my period. But this time it started earlier and was more frequent than ever before in my life. I am talking like quadruple what it normally is.

Then after my first dosing of these minerals...and wow. I am knocking on wood - believe me!!!! I am not getting my hopes up either. But if this truly is what my body has needed all this time...I will be such a relieved happy person.

I found out today that I may be losing my part time writing gig and that my tax returns will be less than half of what I was expecting. I swear, I don't even care. If my heart gets better - that is enough for me!!!

Again, I realize this may just be a short remission. But I sure am hoping this lasts. I also slept great last night and just generally feel better. I was able to go an hour on the treadmill today. My cramps stopped. I mean, what if so many of my problems...all of these years...were simply because I was not absorbing the minerals my body needed.

Knocking on wood, crossing my fingers, hoping for the best and VERY grateful to feel better in the moment!!!!!

That is awesome, I hope it continues, it could be the minerals and the end of your period as well.

Every little remission helps.

Great news! Would you mind telling me exactly what it is you are taking? I also am feeling less skips being on the Natural Calm. I'll take it. I had some bad days last week and over the weekend, but yesterday and today I have only felt a handful.

one thing i found that helps is herb tea with lemon and ginger, i dont know if it works but when i was using it i got less palps, and its non caffeinated, not decaffeinated like green tea, i believe its the only tea without caffeine

Lemon Ginger tea is really helpful for digestive issues. Lemon verbena is really good too and super relaxing.

I drink water with lemon and ginger almost daily. I do it for weight loss purposes.

As for what I am taking...here is the exact supplement... Amazon.com: Integrative Therapeutics Krebs Ionized Chelates - 100 Tablets: Health & Personal Care

Suggested dose is 4 per day. I am now taking 3. I think I will go up to 4 tomorrow.

I hadnt felt much until this afternoon. While shopping, I felt a few (maybe 10) light blips. But it was almost 3 pm and realized I hadnt eaten all day. And I do mean NOTHING. I think I tend to get them more with an empty tummy. I came home and made a protein shake. I also took my dose a little early. Since then, I haven't felt anything. (knocking on wood of course)

Went to my therapy appt today. Two big things I am working on is trusting the Dr and not searching for PROOF because there never will be. And trying to eliminate my need for reassurance. I have become a reassurance junkie. And what sucks, my family is HORRIBLE at it LOL. Probably why I am like this to begin with. I need to learn to reassure myself...and not by using the internet or calling Drs. I need to learn self soothing techniques.

I am hoping these supplements are really going to make a difference. But if not, I need to be prepared to go through more bad spells without letting it knock me on my ass. We are going to an indoor water park in a few weeks and I will be damned if these are going to ruin it for us.

I think we all need reassurance!

[Cheers]

We do. It is natural. But I take it too far. It is never enough and the more I get the more I need the next time. Just like a junkie - seriously. I have been like this in different ways much of my life.

As a child I used to ALWAYS ask my dad (who was often absent) if he was mad at me...or 'what's wrong'. I needed constant reassurance that he loved me.

When I was with my serious boyfriends as a young adult, I did the same thing. I smothered them with my constant need for reassurance that they loved me or wouldn't leave me...of course, they left me. "do you love me?" "do you think I am pretty?" "are you cheating on me?" I mean, how annoying!!!

I don't do those things so much now. Now, it all focuses around my health basically. And sometimes with my job because I get hard and heavy criticism from that constantly. But if I can lick this...I am golden. Well, ok...maybe not golden...but much shinier than I am now.
