My Story

I have long experienced unbearable menstrual pain--pain so bad that it left me bent over in pain. My mother always told me that it would get easier as I learned how to cope with it over time. It never did. I took heavy drugs (Naproxen, 800mg and even Vikaden) to level the pain. The medication was off and on as for effectiveness. And when it did work, it provided short relief. By the time I was in college, I routinely took days off during my cycle. The pain left me nearly bed-ridden. I often had nights of sleeplessness due to the pain. I eventually tried birth control but ran into a health risk. I suffered from severe migraines and the heightened estrogen levels in most birth control would cause me to have migraines much more frequently. It also increased my risk of a stroke. I next tried a non-estrogen form of birth control (IUD). It altered my body incredibly with the hormones causing severe hormonal imbalance. I morphed into a person I did not know--psychologically, emotionally and socially. It also altered my cycle and made it much more irregular. I vowed to never allow foreign substances in my body again and began the hunt for natural remedies.

On my last birth control stint, I tried a new form after I got married. It provided no pain relief and actually caused irregularity and excessive bleeding. A few months before that, the doctor told me I was in danger of becoming anemic because of the amount of blood I was losing on my cycle. I was losing my mind from stress. One evening my pastor, Bishop Cage, prayed for me and he prophesied that the Lord would give me rulership over my cycle and that the Lord would give me a recipe that would remedy my menstrual pain in the third month. I went through the most excruciating pain during my cycle for three months with no pain medication. With my husband encouraging me, I trusted God until His promise came. The third month came, and just after my cycle ended, I was woken in the middle of my sleep. I heard different ingredients and wrote them down. During my cycle the next month, I was experience terrible pains and could not sleep. I went to the kitchen and as I grabbed each ingredient, the Lord gave me the exact measurement to throw into the pot. I took a sip as my cramps raged on. With one sip--it stopped. Calm, peace, freedom! 

My Bishop also prophesied that I would have rulership over my cycle. Since that day, I have known freedom on my cycle that I never thought was possible. Life resumes as normal with Cycle Soother in my hand. I truly believe that the Lord gave me this gift that more women can experience true freedom as I have.
