Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Sat Nam Dear KY Friends: I have been bleeding non-stop for a month—I thought it was “just†a very long period—and I still have not had a proper diagnosis (no health insurance). Could be fibroids, could be the beginning menopause? But I have lost so much blood! Now I feel anemic. And my teeth are turning grey. This is very scary. Are there any kriyas for anemia (or any advice on restoring iron to body in an Ayurvedic way?) Also, any thoughts on the grey teeth? I have been grinding my teeth severely for a year....but that is another story. I could post a looong post about that journey. I am just so worried, and find the advice and loving-kindness of this group very reassuring. Thanks, and many blessings Upma Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Please please see a gynecologist for this. Perhaps a nearby medical school with a teaching clinic? Perhaps call the local hospital and talk to someone in social services? You may have done these things already, but I'd just encourage you to work it out, somehow or other. Perhaps you can give a loving friend or family member the opportunity to give to you by letting them help you out. In Ayurveda, the medical system with yoga, there is a concept that the vata element of any illness needs to be addressed first. Vata energy includes anxiety and fear, and the fear here must be addressed by a medical diagnosis. If there is nothing serious, then holistic approaches can be used much more effectively afterwards. -Dr. Sham Rang In a message dated 2/17/2010 10:45:23 P.M.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Sat nam, As a health care practitioner, I'd like to remind you that there are many practitioners who are willing to work on a sliding scale or even pro bono for special cases, if you will just ask. So please don't let lack of insurance keep you from getting help from a well-recommended high quality doctor, acupuncturist, etc. Guru Beant Kaur Bridget Kamke, LMT Kundalini Yoga Teacher Licensed Massage Therapist Children's Book Author www.infinipede.com __________ Diet Help Cheap Diet Help Tips. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2131/c?cp=FKB192DJARXN84ng9xPv2gAAJz2u7S5oUx\ F0T6rVIwp71qWlAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYQAAAAAA= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Dear Upma, I dont know what the cause might be and suggest you talk to an expert, but from my experience, when I gave birth last month and lost a lot of blood, I was feeling very weak and if I would stand up my head would go dizzy, my doctor recommended 100mg daily (she said even could take twice daily) of iron tablets, for at least three months. After a week I felt much better already. It might be related to vegetarianism (experts might know better), but it seemed that my iron storage was too low, and with the blood loss there was no storage from where my body would feed more iron, so I was weak. I hope this helps a little, but really talk to somebody (if not doctor, a nutritionist, homeopath or healer). the best to you, and take care of your body blessings, Sukhdev Kundalini-Yoga , Abner Wilner <senatorabner wrote: > > > > > > Sat Nam Dear KY Friends: > > I have been bleeding non-stop for a month†" I thought it was > “just†a very long period†" and I still have not had a proper diagnosis (no > health insurance).

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Dear Friend, One month of constant bleeding is far too long to experience without seeing the doctor. Yes, most likely it's hormonal, but it could be symptomatic of something worse. Consider a free-standing urgent care center (I'm assuming here you are in the US?) that is not attached to a hospital. The cost is quite reasonable (45.00 here) as compared to MD's office or emergency room costs. I have often received better care through these free - standing clinics MD's than through my own HMO doctor whom I've been informed sees up to 50 patients in a day!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Please consider this your first medical consult (yes, MD and all that). Don't waste time and money with an urgent care center, unless it's with a gynecologist. This problem requires a gynecologist. Iron supplementation would be helpful, acupuncture may end up being helpful, but please see a gynecologist. -Dr. Sham Rang In a message dated 2/18/2010 9:07:27 P.M.
