Poor, poor Mel. You came on like gang-busters this mornin'...I thought all was well in your world. But alas..Aunt Flo, as you also say at times, has come to call again.

Anyhoo...sorry about the no gym, but thanks for the laffs on other posts!

Hope you feel better soon! :o)

Hey Groover, you ain't grooving. :(

For one thing, get out of the fetal position. It's the absolute WORST position when you're having cramps.

Now settle down, take a deep breath.

There are several things you can do. #1. Throw a party in honor of your cramps. Ask for, no, demand, gifts of shots of booze and anti-inflammatories.

#2. Accept those gifts ahead of time, alone, in your own home, without having asked anyone for them and with no one there. Get stupid.

#3. Pretend you are in labor.

#4. Then do #2.

#5. Tell Yogi it's not funny.

Alernatively, do you have a walk-in clinic or do you have a regular doctor and OBGYN? Whichever you have, get there ASAP.

No one should have to suffer as you are. No cramp is a good cramp, but there is a limit. I don't know your history or if you are on any hormones but they can smooth out periods.

Anyway, don't stop till you get a solution. If your doctor or obgyn won't listen, go to somebody else.

You could look at the problem this way also: There are times when other forms of bodywork are preferable to heavy exertion, like with your periods. At those times, it might be a good idea into getting a yoga or other RELAXATION video. You can quiet your self down to a more tolerable level and it's a great excuse to unwind.

It's like UNdoing, instead of DOing.

For what it's worth --

Love,

Yogi

Hey Mel,


I was reading a little article in Redbook that a study had been done at Georgetown and the results were....
"women who traded a diet containing beef, pork, chicken, and fish for one high in grains, beans, and produce experienced a 50% reduction in pain and bloating."
