I'm Spoiled
21 Jul
This week has been the best of times as well as the worst of times. [* this post contains girly words such as P*S, & p*riod and other things, so if you're squirmish about 'that time of the month' let this be your warning 
] …
Started my period yesterday and it HURT. One of the worst in a few months. Mine have always hurt, but since I changed my diet (almost 2 months ago), they have progressively gotten better in various ways. I think I’ve nailed the culprit of a major influence of my monthly pain. My digestive tract has healed tremendously with my new diet – that improved almost right away. So that has been a HUGE help! But I have found that a great influence of my menstrual pain has to do with stress. I’m currently dealing with a bit of family drama and I have been MAJORLY stressed internally about it. I’m trying to keep up with healing thoughts of love, trying to let some things go and tell myself the truth: that it indeed is ‘no big deal’ and ‘it’s not my problem’… we all go through some family drama from time to time in our lives – no? I think it’s pretty normal. Just breathe… it’ll all go away soon
Anyways, to the good news. Why I’m spoiled:
I, Rebecca – have THE BEST husband in the WORLD! A not so fun yo-yo’ing week for me and my lovely husband went out during work hours (not a common thing for him) to JUST get me “get well treats”.
Ginger helps with my nausea during my PMS week and I told him like 2 weeks ago that I was craving Pop Tarts – He remembered! He’s so like that, to remember even the little things I say forever ago, and to surprise me. He LOVES to surprise me. He even went to Trader Joe’s, one of my favorite stores – to get these treats! He knows me SO WELL! 
Yesterday when I was in SO MUCH PAIN, curled up moaning and just crying and crying – he was so worried! He said, “Becky, lets say a prayer. Maybe God can help inspire us with a new way to help the pain.” We did, we felt guided to search on the net for new ideas… and we found some! I never thought of doing breathing exercises to alleviate stress FOR Dysmenorrhea (when I read that stress plays a role in the amount of pain – this is when I realized that stress has been a pattern as I recall back to when my periods have been at their worst), and yoga to strengthen my lower muscles and to help relax my body and mind. To add more Magnesium in my diet, fish oil and Vitamin E. Here are the links we found:
- Peace Health – Dysmenorrhea
- Women’s Center for Mind-body Health – University Studies on Dysmenorrhea
- Yoga Health Benefits – Yoga Poses For Menstruation Cramps And Muscle Atrophy: Effective Yoga Poses For Dysmenorrhea Treatment
Things like this that he does for me is what motivates me to be a better wife for him. He always tells me he loves me everyday. Tells me how beautiful I am, and why he appreciates me as his wife. I hope and pray that I reflect the same love to him as he shows me on a daily basis. I seriously feel like I am the luckiest wife in the world. ♥ I love Clark so much!
