am desperately needing some advice or information if someone has any on this topic. I have not had my period in 51 days. I am NOT pregnant. This has been an ongoing issue for awhile here. To make a loooong story short, I underwent some serious stress about 4 years ago and my body just cannot seem to rebound. I have been to naturopathic doctors, medical doctors, chinese herbalists, acupuncture (which actually really helped but I can't afford to go every week), and of course a few years with self study and spending who knows how much money on herbs or whatnot. I do not want to put a "band aid" on this and just take birth control (which actually didn't seem to help). I was told the closest thing that I come close to as far as "diagnosis"is PCOS, but they say it's not really PCOS (????). I do not have insulin resistance, I'm not overweight, I do not have a bunch of hair growing, etc. The only symptoms I have is waiting way over the "normal" 28 days for my period, and I break out. My hormone tests show that my DHEA is way high which of course in turn has made my testosterone high as well which is why I break out. HELP! No doctors or practitioners have a CLUE of what to do for me!!! ANY help would be appreciated. I'm not sure how to answer to all of your suggestions at the bottom so it's going here. Thanks for your answers. I have done a dozen fasts, in fact I'm pretty proficient in them. I've done colonics with them as well. That acupuncture school idea is great but I live in a smaller town and I don't have any in my state. :( I'm not taking anything right now. BC pills or natural remedies. The acai berry is an antioxident and I think is one of the very few herbs that I haven't taken yet, so I can try that. I have researched white peony as well and that might help. But I have tried SOOOO many things and spent so much money and nothing has helped. It becomes depressing and I feel like I want to give up but these symptoms are untolerable sometimes. This is NOT normal. I know my body and this has been going on for WAY too long. I've been in tears many times because of it.... Read More »
