Medications/Supplements:
Claritin, 10 mg
GNC Women's Ultra Mega 50 plus (no I'm not over 50 but this version has no iron and I like the extras in it better)
CoQ-10 50 mg/day
Copper, 2 mg/day (prevent depletion due to zinc supplementation)
Zinc, 100 mg/day (for immune support due to being susceptible to staph)
Potassium Gluconate, 99 mg/day (would be deficient w/o)
Magnesium Oxide, 500 mg/day (would be deficient w/o)
Cranberry Fruit, 500 mg/day (helps to prevent what used to be frequent UTIs)
Cinnamon, 1500 mg/day (for warmth)
Ginger Root, 1650 mg/day (for warmth)
Turmeric, 500 mg/day
Coromega Omega 3, 1 pkt/day
Oligofructose enriched Inulin (Prebiotin), 4 g/day
No BC, years ago tried many different kinds and always spotted on them or got headaches from them. I gave up and so did my drs.
Diet and exercise:
Diet is severely restricted due to being allergic to wheat; I cannot even eat food that has been processed on same equipment as wheat even if it doesn't have it in it. Wheat kills my immune system and causes many other systemic problems so my diet is mostly meats, certain cheeses and nuts with a few green leafy veggies. Once/month I indulge in a Starbucks Triple Venti Mocha w/whipped cream.
For exercise I do yoga 3x/week with a couple of good Dance Dance Revolution sessions per week.
No children.
Usually I don't have any mid-cycle spotting, just a couple of days before my period and afterwards. Cycle is usually 21-25 days, period lasts 6-7 days.
Hope this helps and TY!
Urg after more reading I'm beginning to wonder if the RC would be too much. I thought because it was half and half it wouldn't be as bad but now... I also really liked it because most attribute an antibiotic/antimicrobial effect to it. Eek. :/
