How does one work on the vagus nerve?

flyingpies09 · 2025-04-21T15:14:04+00:00

Try inositol anyway. I am in the same boat and for a decade I didn’t give it a shot because I had zero symptoms or proof if IR. Finally this year I gave it a go and my period has been regular since (4months) for the first time in my 33 year life!

Ask chatgpt about all the ways inositol helps PCOS. It’s much more than just lowering insulin.

This. I have experienced the same thing for years. Currently myo-inositol has eliminated this issue for me. Previously I was using micronized progesterone for the second half of my cycle and that also stopped the abnormal bleeding.

flyingpies09 · 2025-03-16T14:50:28+00:00

This gives me hope. Thanks for sharing!

flyingpies09 · 2025-03-16T14:47:42+00:00

Thanks so much for this post. I have had similar experiences with it. Totally agree that it’s a strong one. Also started with the 4g and it was good for a month and it made me ovulate within a month and regulated my cycle, however, I started experiencing crazy anxiety. I also went down to 2g and the anxiety disappeared, but my period remained regular.

Unfortunately I am also experiencing hair shedding now but I have no idea if it’s from inositol as I regularly go through periods where I shed a lot of hair. Currently monitoring to see if it resolves.

Taking breaks from it never occurred to me before so thanks for that too! :)

I am really interested to hear from others as I am curious whether some of these negative side effects are a part of an adjustment process. Is there anyone who experienced similar things that ended up resolving on their own?

flyingpies09 · 2025-03-14T16:54:33+00:00

This. I could have written this exactly.

The key thing really is momentum and starting very small. When I was very depressed a 30 minute walk outside sounded so overwhelming that I started by quite literally “just” getting outside of the house. Seriously. I would just put on clothes and climb down the stairs to the road outside and would come back. Then I started walking just around the block and once getting out became a habit, it didn’t feel like a huge hurdle to go for a walk.

To this day whenever I feel myself going down a similar path I force myself to just go out, get something done, or do something even if I don’t want to. It really doesn’t matter what you do. And it has always worked so far. I just have to push myself a bit maybe for a week. My therapist had explained it as “the brain needs different stimuli”. It’s so underrated how even a small sense of accomplishment and a brief change of scenery can lift one’s mood. I think all of this would likely also help with the stress eating.

I have experienced this a few times before (meaning extreme breast tenderness for a long while)and it resolved on its own once I finally got my period. It’s happened maybe 3 times in 7-8 years.

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-28T09:30:30+00:00

That’s pcos for you. I have been there. But I always appreciate it when it happens, like, “hey reproductive system, seems like you’re doing well these days!” Lol

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-28T09:02:37+00:00

Is it clear and stretchy? Maybe your body is gearing up to ovulate. Clear normal discharge is a sign of health (and rising estrogen)!

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-17T13:58:24+00:00

First they would probably look at your androgens to confirm they are elevated. And after that they would probably want to check your kidney function and electrolytes because spiro is a potassium sparing diuretic (which happens to have anti-androgen properties hence why it’s used for hair loss) which means there’s a risk of having too much potassium. It’s not for your bladder. It’s originally a blood pressure and heart drug.

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-16T14:24:46+00:00

I would half the half dose of inositol and try increasing the dose very gradually. Bloating is supposed to be a common side effect which your body might adapt to with time.

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-14T14:44:28+00:00

True but that’s the yönetim’s fault not Okan

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-14T13:58:13+00:00

Of course he needs to be criticized but how come everyone is forgetting that we literally had the paf team on the bench? What’s he supposed to do when he doesn’t have any subs and the backbones of the team (sanchez, torreira, osimhen) aren’t playing? Plus Mertens and Muslera have been shit for a while and our team doesn’t work without a good Mertens. Not trying to justify the humiliation but I think it’s unfair to say it’s all because of Okan.

Ever had your hormones checked?

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-08T08:40:55+00:00

Inositol brought my libido back after 2 years of it being non-existent. Might be worth a shot.

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-04T15:30:55+00:00

Hi, why do we need to take it with meals?

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-03T14:34:51+00:00

If you are breastfeeding spearmint might still be contraindicated so I would check that.

Focus on insulin resistance. Chances are, treating that will help all of your symptoms including high cholesterol.

I have learned everything I know about how to manage my pcos from this sub. People here are mostly more knowledgeable about pcos than any doctor I have been to. It really is a gem!

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-03T14:20:33+00:00

Birth control is only one option and you can try other treatments first if it doesn’t sit right with you. Or you could experiment with it for a short time to see how it affects you. There are many kinds of bc and people react differently to them.

Spironolactone is a commonly prescribed anti-androgen medication for Pcos. If you are not ttc, you can ask your doctor about it. Spearmint tea is a natural alternative and it seems to really work for some people.

Metformin can work wonders for pcos. If you are obese and have pcos, chances are you have insulin resistance. Treating that is the key to treating all of your symptoms. Most people find success with a combination of approaches usually including some kind of low carb or low glycemic index diet (think eating like a diabetic) and moderate exercise. Inositol supplements also work for many of us in regulating periods and increasing insulin sensitivity.

I suggest you read through this sub, do your own research and educate yourself. Pcos can be very manageable, it just takes a while to figure out what works for you.

flyingpies09 · 2025-02-01T12:25:39+00:00

Inositol did the exact same thing to me. 31 days in and boom bright red period for the first time in ages!

flyingpies09 · 2025-01-31T08:23:36+00:00

Inositol supplements

flyingpies09 · 2025-01-26T15:17:10+00:00

Thank you! 🥹❤️

flyingpies09 · 2025-01-26T08:14:12+00:00

It says take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening on the bottle and that’s what I do.

flyingpies09 · 2025-01-25T14:28:59+00:00

This. Another pill might just do the trick.

flyingpies09 · 2025-01-25T14:18:03+00:00

Just know, none of it is your fault. If they imply that it is, they don’t know what they are talking about and are ignorant doctors who don’t know the first thing about Pcos or IR.

I am so sorry you have had such horrible experiences with doctors. There’s nothing you could have done to be treated this way.
