Sorry you had problems.
I have really improved so I am thankfully doing great. Supplements and diet my doctor have me on have slowly healed my nerves. My parents, hubby and family can't believe how well I have been doing with my Dysautonomia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Supplements are the most amazing things, diet too of course.
Thankfully, no more cycles for me. SOOOO nice after hysterectomy and now all balanced on my bio identical hormones. They help with many things.
Dawn, since your boyfriend likes to cook he can really research healthful treats. My hubby and I love to cook and we now make sweets and food that are just as good as before we were more careful. Using coconut palm sugar, etc.. So many great ways to cook.
