The combination of 2 Discomfort Reliever pills+required dose of daily milk thistle+1 shot of Frequensea, helps to dissolve this cyst so that my endocrine, metabolic, and even circulatory systems function properly. The basic goal is to maintain homeostasis of these systems by keeping my hormones regulated.
Cysts are both a product of nature (over-production of estrogen OR under-production of Progesterone usually occuring hand-in-hand)) as well as a product of our personal environment which includes, diet, stress tolerance, prayer and/or meditation, living conditions i.e. pure healthy drinking water, least polluted air possible, nearly allergen-free living quarters and an understanding circle of friends and family who can help when times get rough. I am thankful these days, and everyday, for the people closest to me that share in my pain, joy, bad days, good days and everything in-between.
Today my pain threshold is at a steady 4.25, which is noticeable therefore still, intolerable. To shrink it back to roughly 1/4 of its size is the goal by April 2007, just one year two months before it ruptured causing waves of discomfort.
Everything I am using to beat this is natural and because I am more resilient to listening to Dr. Mom, I have a better chance at making menopause a breeze for me.

Progesterone is grossly overlooked in the United States as a hormone that needs to be present in sufficient quantities to act as a counter to estrogen dominance. In fact, premenopausal women with low progesterone levels are 10 times more likely to develop breast cancer than young women with normal progesterone levels.
There are now numerous texts availabe on the subjuct, but John R. Lee, MD is thought to be the authoritative voice on the importance of progesterone. It is incumbent upon all women to learn about the improtance of good progesterone levels, because the medical community is woefully unfamiliar with it. Doctors will roll their eyes if you show to a visit with a Suzanne Somers book, butmany of the concepts in her books are valid. One can always question dosages/protocols described by her, but hormonal BALANCE is the name of the game.
At my practice in Massachusetts, we work collaboratively with patients AND physicians to find the physilogy behind the symptoms.
I encourge women like Erica to educate themselves about the facts. Our medical community has gotten away from physiology and now relies too heavily on pharmacology. I strongly suggest any women in hormonal imbalnace (at ANY stage in life) to get your hormone levels checked, and contact your COMPOUNDING pharmacist.
18 year history of "misdiagnosed" 'mild endometriosis'. It was treated inappropriately using steroidal birth control pills to regulate periods--and by 1991
I had a small cyst on my left ovary. 'DumbDoc' treating me was clueless and not knowing enough about the inappropriate areas 'endometrium tissue' (normally just supposed to be in the uterus where rich hormones feed it and shed it naturally) is discovered in a laparoscopy. 16 years later, doubling over, I headed over to the er for a check, ultrasound 62 hours later and appointment with another DumbDoc (also female and not so much clueless but quick to remove the default) tells me the mass needs to be removed immediately, surgically! Whoa, stop there---cutting into my skin, intervention by invasion to take my parts I might be able to repair myself..., heck no!
Begin a quest, treating myself painfully as it is being no martyr just stubborn using the effects of a combination herbal remedy (wild yam, dong quai, black cohosh & lemon balm) that relieves discomfort by regulating the over production of estrogen and maintaining the proper balance of progesterone. I have figured this out, now 40, from onset of menses age 11, . . . I am with all of you suffering in this together, sharing, learning, laughing & crying.

Thank you so kindly for your concern about this, I feel the more I know the better I can cope without having to surgically intervene. Your suggestions and feedback are much appreciated. Here is to a healthy and not so uncomfortable menopause (in about 12 years I believe, for me...)
