Re: Followup 6 years after Zamecki study

Hi, Dana,

I think the followup message going forward is that it's my (admittedly
subjective) take that bowel endometriosis after complete hysterectomy
is best handled long term by no use of replacement hormones, no large
doses of calcium (although I do take a standard multi-vitamin), weight
control (I feel significantly better at 160 than I did at 200 lbs.),
and exercise, especially walking and tension relieving exercise. It has
helped me to cut out alcohol and red meat, and to cut back on refined
sugar and caffeine, and especially on cola and similar drinks. I do not
smoke. I am still aiming for an ideal weight of 145-150.
My main concern at this point is osteoporosis and weight bearing
exercise, since exercise has always been my weak point in terms of
healthy habits, aside from alcoholism. When I first came home from the
hospital in 2001 I bought a very good exercise pamphlet from Amazon in
this regard. The exercises involved either floor or chair balance, and
resemble easy ballet balance positions.
