Hi Andreas,

I can't seem to ask you enough questions lately. I just finished reading your response to the post below discussing hormonal imbalances occurring after gall stone removal. I was very intrigued with your response. I too have been flushing with moderate to great success with each flush, but also find that my hormones and skin are still so very "angry". Your statement about hormonal imbalances relating to a bad sexual experience and stimulation of the ovaries is what intrigued me. Almost seven years ago, my son died due to a cord accident when I delievered him. I bled for almost 11 months straight after he was delievered with no immediate cause to the medical community as to why my body was reacting the way that it was. My physician put me on mega doses of hormones to try and stop the bleeding, but nothing worked. Finally, I went to a Tibetan physician and he prescribed herbs (I have no idea what kind). Within 30 days the bleeding ceased. I guess what I'm pondering, is that the traumatic experience that occurred with my son...could it be leading to the excessive depressive times I have the week before I menstruate. Even this morning, it has been so difficult for me to understand why I'm here and to fight feelings of dread. I want to get healthy, but feel so tired and so overwhelmed with information I just don't know if I'm doing the right thing. The other thing is, I wonder if I truly ever grieved. I think in order to survive the situation, another part of me went through that horrific experience, not the one that's writing you today. Does that seem odd? I know I experienced it, but can't remember a lot of the details.

Thanks for listening, sorry to ramble...I'm still trying to make sense of all this after all these years.

Bless you,
Kristie
