Hi there all.

I have read many posts on here complaining of endo pain etc. I want to share my experience and hope you ladies will try what I tried.

So for many years i'd say about 11years I have always had excruciating heavy period pains with abdominal pains. I was ignored by doctors until I moved to manchester 3 years ago where I found the doctors were better. So they sent me for scans and also a laproscopy and endoscopy. So I was told that they didnt find any active endo but they also said that I may have endo which is inside the muscle which is not visible to the eye. Anyway I still had very bad period pain etc and thought right I have to live with this and find a remedy.I had tried the pill and mirena and they just made me worse tbh.

So now onto what I found worked. Doctors like to prescribe medical remedies and will tell you not to use herbal remedies. However we all know that herbal remedies are better for you than medical.

After doing my research I came across blackseed oil and apple cider vinegar. I started by taking less than 1 teaspoon of blackseed oil with half to 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar mixed in less than half a cup of warm water every other day. (Be sure to drink through a straw due to the acidity in the apple cider). I either take it in the morning or before bed.

I saw a difference very quickly tbh..my next period was so much lighter and it was almost painless no kidding.

I still carry on taking this and it has been a miracle for me. I used to be bedridden and unable to do anything for the 1st 3-4days of my period but now thats a different story.

I wont say I have no pain but it is nothing like the pain I had before. It is also so much lighter and lasts 5days where as before it lasted 7days.

I have normal period pain now (only slight) and I can go about my day as a normal healthy person.

The only thing is blackseed oil lowers blood pressure in people with low blood pressure (I have low blood) but I find if I take it every 2/3days then i'm fine. Everyday for someone with low blood may cause dizziness which I did find.

Please try it. It doesnt taste the best but its not the worst and Its better for your body than pills etc.

Be sure to take it every few days to start with as your body needs to adjust to something new. Then take it accordingly but no more than 1 spoon a day and dont give up on it. I am sure you will see a difference after 2months maybe less as it was in may case.

Thank you girls
