Well, the black cohosh didn’t do my gastrointestinal system any favors — and I’ll spare you the details about that, heh.
The soy didn’t help much, either. I know it’s supposed to take four weeks before you notice any benefit, but I started to feel some of the old endo pain after a few days. It woke me up and the first thing I thought was, “Oh, this damn cyst already. I can’t wait until — wait a minute.”
As in, there is no more cyst, so there must be small endo implants in my abdomen that the surgeon couldn’t see while he was in there moving my organs around, and they might have been stimulated by the phytoestrogens in the soy. I guess I’ll have to wait a few more months before they all die off before trying again.
Which reminds me… After the surgeon was done moving stuff around, it would have been nice if he had put it all back symmetrically. I tried on a pair of jeans the other day and although it is entirely my own fault that I had a muffin-top, said muffin-top was all lop-sided! My fat distribution on my abdomen is totally uneven.
Harumph. All the more reason to stick with the exercising. I did the upper body segment of a DVD on Tuesday and I was sore through yesterday. Sigh… once upon a time I accidentally pulled a door off the hinges. Now I’m sore after doing hammer curls with six-pound weights.
That will change. MUAH ha ha ha ha…
