1- Awareness
This is how the whole story begins.
From one day to the next, although I don’t change my habits.
I wake up with terrible pain in my joints, particularly in my left shoulder and right knee.
It’s like a realization, I say to myself: “Well, my skeleton has aged a bit”.
As I practice, I realize that I’m putting on weight.
You see, it’s like something that happens.
I don’t change any of my habits, but I realize that my knee isn’t right.
I start going to various doctors, one for the knee that needs to be operated on, another for my general condition.
Not only do I have joint pain (in my left shoulder and right knee), but I’m also in bad shape and in low spirits.
I think it’s fatigue.
My doctor in France did some blood tests and said:
“You’re still taking your endometriosis hormone (Visanne). You haven’t gone through menopause yet. ”
2- Discovery of the Franklin Method
During this period, I began learning the Franklin Method.
In it, Eric Franklin makes it clear that he is absolutely against knee surgery, which he believes is prescribed too quickly these days.
It’s better to avoid surgery because, even if it’s not quick, the meniscus can rebuild itself.
Conversely, an operated knee is like a prosthesis without fluidity.
And that’s it.
I’m in the same dramatic state: why am I gaining weight like this? What can I do about it?
I sign up – to my shame – at a slimming studio for electroshock therapy and various weight-loss devices.
I’m at the end of my rope.
And then the health problems begin.
3- The first “hot flushes “
About six months later than the first observation, I start having mild hot flushes.
To get a clearer picture, I went to England to meditate. Just then, I feel a pain – at the very bottom of my spine. A pain I recognize – connected to both my ovaries and my uterus.
Back in Geneva, I pay a visit to my gynecologist. His recommendation was simple and straightforward: a total hysterectomy. In other words, surgical removal of the uterus and ovaries.
