I was contacted by a lady called Pennie who has devised a healing program to ease or eliminate PMS and PMDD symptoms. I visited the website
www.pmsfreenow.com to find a simple site with a video and adverts for more video's coming soon. It's the sort of site I would probably skip thinking it's a scam, but as Pennie had contacted me personally, briefly sharing that she had suffered with PMDD in the past, I felt I should watch it before I made any judgements.
It was good! Pennie gives sound advice and brings forward considerations that all women should be aware of when they are suffering with PMD or PMDD. There is somewhere you can sign up to receive the other videos (I forget where, but I know I did as I got a few emails from Pennie's website over the next few days) all of which are free, and full of things you may not have considered looking at with regard to your PMDD symptoms.
Now, the way I saw it, was this was obviously leading into a paid program or service, and as someone who has been surfing the web for years, it had the distinct vibe that this would be pricey. I also wanted to know more about Pennie. Who was she? what were her credentials? I certainly wouldn't ever want to be promoting anything scam-like. So me being me, emailed her direct and said that I would share her website with all of you, if she wrote us a blog about how PMS Free Now came to be.
My mind was working along the lines of the fact that maybe others out there had missed some good advice or a chance to work with a specialised program by being a little put off by the lack of personal info about Pennie and her journey, and to me, knowing the person and the website is legit is pretty top priority. Anyway, Pennie is lovely and was very happy to share a blog with us.
Learning to Trust a Failing Body.
It was my 20th birthday and I found
myself lying on my bed crying. Why? I had NO idea.
I just knew
that it felt like my life was over and that I could not stop
crying.
It made no sense. My life at that point was exciting and
fun and this particular day I was super excited about hosting a big
party later that night and I had looked forward to this day for
several weeks. Still, a few hours before the guests were to arrive I
was swallowed by this big black hole and I did not have a clue what
was going on.
This is the first specific memory I
have from PMS/PMDD. However, when I finally a few years later was
beginning to understand what was happening to me I could see that the
signs and symptoms were there long before that. I used to think of
these days as "Tooth Brushing Days". Why? Because brushing
my teeth was about the most advanced task I could take on those days
without becoming completely overwhelmed and crumble to pieces. That
was of course if I did not look into the bathroom mirror - if I did,
I would see this awful reflection of myself and break down in tears
and even the tooth brushing would too difficult to complete.
Over the years these random (top
secret) Tooth Brush Days evolved into (still top secret)recurring
Tooth Brush Weeks. Extreme mood swings, self loathing, crying spells
that would last for days...Looking back now I do not know how I
managed. I guess you do because you have to. And, I saw no other
option but to keep trying: trying to cope with the symptoms and
trying to find a way to beat them.
I tried everything under
the sun: hormones in various different shapes and forms,
anti-depressants, different herbs/ supplements/ vitamins, meditation,
hair analysis, blood analysis, Ayur-vedic medicine, traditional
Chinese medicine, acupressure, acupuncture, special diets,
detoxifications & cleanses, exercises, Qi Gong and yoga. And,
lots of other things too. Nothing seemed to work.
Deep down I wanted to trust my body. I
wanted to trust its wisdom and its healing intelligence that I on
some level knew was there. However, it felt like my body was broken
and therefore could not do its job and therefore could not be
trusted. I felt betrayed by my own body. And, I constantly felt like
I let myself down by not coming up with a solution.
This battle went on for almost twenty
years. Luckily I found the strength to keep going because one day I
did find what I had been searching for all those years: the tools I
needed to heal my body and my life! The tools that were able to
transform my life were Muscle Testing and Energy Medicine.
With the
help of Muscle Testing I could finally figure out why my body was
failing every month. I discovered that my body was NOT broken. And, I
discovered it was on my side - it was working 24/7 - just like me -
to try and heal! However, there were so many things in the way.
Things I was not aware of, both physical and non-physical things,
were blocking my body from healing. Old traumas, emotions and beliefs
disrupted my energy field and kept my body in a non-healing state.
Also, a massive fungal infection plus a number of energy toxins were
constantly destabilising my hormones. With some diet adjustments,
some other life style changes - and with the help of the gentle
techniques of modern Energy Medicine - these blocks were not hard to
overcome and sure enough, when they were gone, so was my PMS/PMDD. My
dream had finally come true.
A few years later I am still living my
dream: I am able to enjoy life in a way that I could only dream of
before and I am so grateful for this. However, no matter how
fantastic it feels when your dreams come true there are always room
for new dreams. My new dream is to help women who are still
struggling with PMS/PMDD - to offer them hope and to provide them
with the tools they need in order to heal.
I know we all have our own journey's to
make and your journey may be very different from mine. However, by
sharing our stories we can spread hope and ideas to each other. If
you want to know more about some of the things I learned on my
journey you are welcome to check out my website: www.pmsfreenow.com.
And, wherever your journey takes you - I wish you all the best.
Blessings,
Pennie Kristiansson
We all struggle with the medical profession, some of us spend a small fortune visiting specialists, buying supplements etc, some of us prefer not to take medication and go the alternative drug free route. What Pennie is offering is akin to seeing a PMDD Specialist, only the tools she uses are very different to those Gynaecologists in London. Now, I couldn't afford a private specialist, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't afford what Pennie is offering, however, I have to remember that not everyone is as skint as me! and in the name of sharing information and introducing you to other ways to combat PMDD, I felt it was my duty to share this with you. The PMS Free Now videos are free and worth a watch, even if you think that you know everything there is to know. You might not!
Give the video's a watch. Check out Pennie's other site
www.thenovaplace.com Womens Holistic Health Centre and head over to her Facebook page
www.facebook.com/PennieKristiansson and give her a like. She is after all a PMDD survivor, a success story! and is trying to help others overcome their symptoms too. What she's offering might not be for you, but go show your support anyway... and go check out her free videos! what have you got to lose!
