Hello Reader 
I’m so happy to have found out about Dr. Peat. I’m really hoping this will help me with health issues I’ve been struggling with. My main issues are dysmenorrhea and hirsutism. Ever since I got my period when I was 15/16 I’ve had such awful cramps the first 2 days of my period. My pediatrician prescribed me naproxen 250mg and then a few months later had to up the dosage to 500mg. When that stopped working I was sent to a gyno and endocrinologist. They did an ultrasound to see if I had PCOS but I did not. I was prescribed birth control but it didn’t help with the cramps or hirsutism. I thank God that I stopped taking the birth control after a few months and didn't decide to try another one or other medication they suggested like spironolactone. Even though as a kid I actually liked going to the doctors a lot. As I got older I lost interest since they couldn’t figure out how to cure my hormonal issues. Now I just take about 1600mg of ibuprofen the first two days of my period which is awful I know but it’s the only way I can deal with the excruciating pain. I just started supplementing vitamin e and magnesium. I’m hoping that will help.
Since finding out about Dr. Peat, I’ve also realized that I have other things to worry about like my low temps. I’m realizing how much stress my body has been under and that’s ultimately the root cause of my hormonal imbalances. I’m going to work on eating pro metabolic and also implementing things like Epsom salt baths and castor oil packs.
I think that stress really started to take a toll on me when I started high school. I couldn’t do extracurriculars because I had no one to pick me up. So I would come straight home and nap everyday. My mom would often make comments about me being pregnant because I slept so much. I guess that was how I could cope with difficult school work and not the best home life. I feel like ever since my junior year of high school up until now being 24 I’ve really had to drag myself to be productive. By God’s grace, I’ve miraculously managed to get things done like getting my bachelors in CS and working as a software engineer now. I have so many ideas of things I want to do but either I start and don’t complete them or don’t start at all. Could this be because I’m so stressed I’m incapable of doing anything else. Or am I just a bum
I'm also very interested in fertility and pregnancy. And I'm trying to get my body in the best shape possible to grow a human!
Thanks for reading and have a blessed day!
