My name is Holly, since I was 19 years of age I have had health problems. It started  with a slight pain in my side and it just became more and more intense. I went to the Physcians Care, the ER, and finially an OB. The Dr. told me he needed to do exploratory surgery to find out what was wrong but he thought I might have a large tumor on my left ovary. After surgery I woke up and was told that the Dr found endometrosis, it was so bad that he had to remove the left ovary and tube. I knew what this was because it ran in my family, my aunt had it and my great-aunt as well. At that time neither one had been able to have children. This was devastating to me, I love children. I was engaged and really wanted to start a family. I did everything I could to preserve my last ovary. The Dr suggested shots that made me go into menopause. He said this would keep everything from working for a while and give my body a chance to heal. Four months later to my great surprise, I found out I was pregnant. After having my first child I went on birth control to help slow the progression.  Now, I’m 30 years old, I have 3 children and my youngest is 7 months old. I have had multiple surgeries to remove the endo and remove cysts that were forming on my remaining ovary. I have lots of scar tissue and endometrosis on my bowls.  Long story short I have had a lot of weird medical complications. I am really interested in medicine and I’m currently enrolled in college to become a nurse. I have found that sometimes no matter what the doctor tries some problems are untouchable. I have had chronic yeast infections for years. They get better but never go away. On a suggestion from my OB nurse one day I went to a health food store and got some acidophillis pills, Floragen. They needed to be refridgerated and were equal to eat 4 yogurts a day. They worked and I have taken them daily for 2 years  as a preventative. I started to look for other natural cures. This blog is dedicated to sharing that info and  other Earth friendlly tips I come across.
