This blog is a chronicle of my quest to shrink my fibroids and enhance my fertility, and share what I have learned along the way. I wish I had known some of these things when I originally was diagnosed with fibroids years ago, so I hope others can learn from my experience. Some of my links are affiliate links that pay me a small commission on any purchases made.

interesting article on fibroids in Chinese medicine
I have begun the journey of acupunture and chinese herbs. I will let you know how it goes. I have a centimeter and half fibroid with several smaller ones but the periods I get are enough to kill someone. Clots the size of plums and severe anemia. I have managed to get my iron levels up with Feramax (the best iron out there) and chlorophyll to help with building blood. I also get B 12 shots from my acupuncturist. It feels like I might turn the corner. The acupuncture is already making a difference but I have to go weekly or I begin to bleed again. We will see what happens. So far so good. Fingers Crossed. Oh yes and I am taking chromium before dinner to help with sugar cravings at night but I must say that acupuncture seems to take care of cravings as well.
