I dealt with cramps myself and just drank some Donat, which did the trick, but honestly, if you’ve already been taking magnesium, this probably won't help you much at all. My doctor actually handed me some instructions on how to dose the Donat for specific issues—I was basically knocking back a whole bottle a day—but I can't for the life of me remember the exact protocol he gave me.

I'm actually out in Canada, just outside Toronto. I tried looking up the ingredients online—thinking maybe I could find something similar to bring her—but honestly, nothing turned up. Actually, when I was staying in Vancouver, my doctor gave me something with basically the same formula, but it didn't work for me at all. I just tossed the whole stack of paperwork in the trash.😵
I'm feeling pretty nauseous and honestly just terrified to take it, so I'm going to go see a different doctor.
And regarding those upper thigh issues... seriously, if they get any thicker, it's going to be way too much.
I was actually looking for this exact thread recently and couldn't find it for the life of me (shoutout to Steven Ruiz, by the way) My doctor put me on them because of PCOS. I tried to push back, but she’s insisting I stick with it for at least a year now Oh, and she told me to start taking them the first week after my period ends, and that I need to be extra careful about pregnancy during the first month But you totally confused me with that bit about the breakouts. I was told mine would clear up, but honestly, being 33, I'm dealing with more skin issues now than I did back in puberty I was originally hoping for Cilest, but my doctor hasn't even heard of that one 😢
How long should I leave those towels on there? Should I wait until they cool down completely, or is 10-15 minutes enough? Some lady told me she soaks two or three dried prunes in lukewarm water, lets them sit for 24 hours, drinks the mixture, and then starts a new batch right away. She swears it cleans out your insides perfectly. Honestly, I drink mine in the morning and I’m heading straight to the restroom five minutes later. 😁
So, I picked up this fancy water filter from Amway—paid an absolute fortune for it—but once I actually took it apart, it looked like total junk. Honestly, I’m still using it, but I have this nagging feeling it's just a complete scam. That whole thing about magnets really caught my attention, though. Back on the old forum, I actually started a thread about "polarized" water after a friend told me all about it. She uses this specific filter and swears by it. I have zero clue how the science behind it works, but she claims if you take a bottle, fill it with 1/4 of this specialized water, and then top it off with 3/4 regular tap water, the whole thing becomes "polarized" within 24 hours. I’m just passing along what she said, so please don't come for me—I don't have any answers to your questions! As for me, I was dealing with some fungal issues, and when I used a bit of the water she gave me to breed a culture and then washed everything with it, the problem cleared up. But the second I stopped using it, the fungus came right back. Has anyone else ever heard of this stuff? What’s your take?
I know the feeling—I’ve been dealing with weight issues forever, but honestly, the idea of popping pills scares the hell out of me. The standard advice is always "eat less, move more, snack on a carrot," and yeah, easy to say, much harder to actually do. I spent years chasing every shortcut under the sun—diets, calorie counting, I’ve read every single book ever written on nutrition. But let’s be real: none of those pills are the magic fix. You have to actually change your lifestyle and how you think about food. Trust me, stay far away from the medication route. Just look at what’s happening on the news lately; you see people dealing with horrific side effects from drugs that millions of Americans are taking every day. Maybe acupuncture could be a decent little assist for weight loss, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to willpower and actually breaking those old habits.
As for detoxing your system, my doctor told me a month was plenty when I asked, but honestly, that feels way too short to me. Actually, it feels like every single symptom I deal with comes rushing back the second I stop taking my meds—which happened to me after five months. Personally, I’d probably hold out for at least six, but that’s just my take. You should definitely run it by your own doctor.
I deal with PCOS too, and I was on Celest for about four or five years. It honestly helped a ton—my skin cleared up, my weight stabilized, and the migraines finally quit—but at the same time, my libido just completely tanked *within a single week*😢. Still, I kept taking them because I was convinced they were the holy grail. I don't feel that way anymore, though, and I’m actually with Sandra Ruiz4 on this one. Some recent studies came out lately and it honestly sent me into a bit of a panic. (And I don't even smoke) I talked it over with my doctor, and he told me straight up: if you aren't comfortable and you're starting to feel negative about the meds, it's better to just quit. First off, yeah, I put on a few pounds😠, and my skin is acting up again, but at least I don't feel like I'm sabotaging myself.
