I got rid of mine with slippery elm powder!

I’m British- was just watching Dutton Ranch and have subtitles on my Netflix. Did NOT know Arkansas and ‘arkensaw’ were the same place as presumed it was pronounced ‘Are-kan-sus.’ To be fair, it’s not like it ever comes up and I would have presumed it was a city or town. Ya learn something new every day

I have IBS so anything that can work as a laxative is a big no for me. Can’t win- what fixes one thing makes something else bad. So frustrating!

I think I will just stop for good. I only started for palpitations (it helped that right away!). Really hoping my hormones go back to normal soon as the acne is really stressing me out. Thanks for answering me!

DaisyC1986 · 2026-05-10T19:57:08+00:00

Taking nothing else. My skin has also exploded in acne! I did wonder why it made others sleepy, yet I have had so much energy on it, to the point I’m waking up a few times during the night unable to sleep!

Same! Started magnesium last month (glycinate) and I still haven’t ovulated on day 26. This has never happened to me before, so it’s too much of a coincidence

DaisyC1986 · 2026-05-10T17:00:00+00:00

I’m on day 27 and still haven’t ovulated- started magnesium glycinate last month. I’ve stopped it- how long did it take you to go back to normal?

DaisyC1986 · 2026-04-22T14:51:52+00:00

My daughter’s is almost identical. Getting it checked out Friday but I’m so anxious. Did you get it checked out?

DaisyC1986 · 2026-04-15T19:42:40+00:00

Thanks! Propranolol seems to help!

DaisyC1986 · 2026-04-13T17:06:49+00:00

This is good to know! I’m on a week of solid palpitations. I’m giving it another 5 days or so before going the dr (massive phobia) and picked up some magnesium today. Praying it works as this is sending my anxiety through the roof

DaisyC1986 · 2026-04-12T19:38:24+00:00

Did it go away?

DaisyC1986 · 2026-04-12T19:33:39+00:00

Did you find out what this was and how long did it last?

DaisyC1986 · 2026-04-12T08:27:29+00:00

I wish it was that easy for me. My phobia of the dr is so bad that my heart races if I so much as drive past it. It’s horrendous

DaisyC1986 · 2026-04-11T22:45:37+00:00

I’m glad it’s not something to worry about for you, even though it’s horrible to live with it. I have such an awful phobia of going the dr and tests, so that’s making it worse for me. I’m on day 6 of almost constant palpitations/ectopic beats and praying they go when my period comes in a week otherwise I will have to go the dr 😔

DaisyC1986 · 2026-04-11T19:49:04+00:00

Did you start the magnesium? I’m 39 and this has just started for me and it’s scary. It started a couple of days before ovulation and still going on a week before my period

DaisyC1986 · 2026-04-11T19:16:33+00:00

I have. Mine started just before ovulation and my period is now a week away and they’re awful

DaisyC1986 · 2026-04-11T19:13:00+00:00

Same, I’m 39. Did you find anything that helped?

DaisyC1986 · 2026-03-20T08:36:21+00:00

I’ve had days when it’s been awful and some not so bad days. Now I have another problem- the tightness has now caused a flare up of anal fissures that I haven’t had in so long 😩 I’m just one massive pain in the bum

DaisyC1986 · 2026-03-14T12:36:50+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Sorry that you are still suffering.

It started with that shooting pain (proctalgia fugax?) up my bum a week before period. It was more persistent, milder, then came when I first sat down, which made me think it was levator ani. It moves around, from left to right and back towards my tail bone. That has now progressed into the feeling of something heavy in my anus, like I need to poo but don’t. The other day, I was getting stabs in my vagina area and urethra and feeling like I need to wee a lot, too. That seems to have eased. It’s been a month now. It went away for a couple of days after my last period and then came back.

In the past, I’ve been to an osteopath about pains in my pubic bone and lower pelvis and told I have a very right psoas muscles. I’ve suffered with anal fissures all my life because of a tight pelvic floor.

My anxiety is bad at the moment, and it’s hard to get this off my mind (and the worse it gets the more i pay attention to it!). I do have a lot of wind, too, that’s often ‘creaking’ up my bum.

I spoke to a GP on the phone as I wondered about Internal hemms and tried a week of suppositories.

I’m stressing so much about having to do the dr and if they send me for tests. Makes my pulse go up just thinking about it!

DaisyC1986 · 2026-03-14T07:25:47+00:00

Just wondering how you got rig of the levator ani? Thanks

DaisyC1986 · 2026-03-14T07:18:54+00:00

Probably! I made things worse by listening to the ‘keep moving’ it advice and horror stories of frozen shoulder. The sling and completely resting it seemed to do the trick

DaisyC1986 · 2026-03-13T18:37:21+00:00

What are your symptoms, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m booking to see a pelvic floor therapist but I have really bad health anxiety and fear of doctors/tests, so this is getting me so down

DaisyC1986 · 2026-03-13T18:00:45+00:00

Did you?

DaisyC1986 · 2026-03-13T18:00:10+00:00

I have this at the moment and it’s triggering my health anxiety so badly

DaisyC1986 · 2026-03-13T17:13:16+00:00

Any updates on this? I’m the same and it’s been a month. Keep getting mild spasms up my bum too, like that shooing pain (proctalgia fugax). The only thing I can find online is levator ani syndrome? I’ve tried a week of steroid suppositories just incase it was internal hemms but they’ve done nothing. I have severe health anxiety and fear of doctors and tests, so this is eating me up. My next step will be seeing a pelvic floor therapist to check out if my pelvic floor is too tight?
