I'm pretty much a yoga whore and I do yoga at least a half hour every day.

I just borrowed a yoga videotape from a friend and there is a warning beforehand that says: menstruating women should not practice inverted poses, back bends or vigorous standing poses.

I never knew this and I always do yoga when I have my period. Am I causing a lot of dammage?

Thanks!

PMS

[specialkay.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I've been having the wrost pms of my life! Last night, one minute I'd be crying and the next I'd be laughing.

Does anyone else get really bad pms? Is there any way to get rid of it?
I've heard being a vegetarian helps alot (www.askdrbob.com) butI already am.

um, ive had a problem for a little over a year now, which i recently mentioned to my mother.

basically, about once every three months or so, for about three or four hours- over a day, i cannot even stand up straight because my entire lower abdomen is hurting, ovaries especially, and lower back. its not a nauseous or constipated or crampish feeling, or anythign of the sort- everything inside of me is being cut up into little pieces.

i finally brought it up to my mother about two months ago, during one particularly bad episode in which one of my friends told me i had certain symptoms of a kidney infection- but my mother said that i should just take ibuprofen and rest and keep a heatingpad on it...

none of that helped, and it happened again for a few hours yesterday.

does anyone else have this happen to them, and is it maybe related to my reproductive organs?

it doesnt happen at a specific time in my cycle, either. seems completely random.

Ode To The Universe Within.

Ode To The Universe Within.
As deep and unknown as the ocean floor
As strong and powerful as love on a calm heart
As fixiating as the auroras in Alaska
As reminicent of life, as is birth
I am now opened to these essences once again,
captured in my body's universe,
that will always be,
And has always been
God.

How many of you women out there have the most amazing sex on your periods???
I swear... it gets downright spiritual.

community update

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Updated the community bio to include the hut's memories page. Pehaps this'll help with the eternal pad vs. tamppon debate, and the "does anyone know about the keeper" threads that pop up every so often. (at least we can point folks to other comments that've already been made.) I think of particular note are the remedies and links header.

I'll be updating it monthly, from now one, or more frequently than that. If I missed an arcticle or thread that anyone thinks would be of interest, let me know.
