Liver detox

[Mynx537]

Hi I have really bad problems with my period at the moment. My problems are:

* PMS-like cramps that wake me up at night when they start
* Dark, thick blood throughout the period
* Periods end abruptly and finish a day earlier.
* Periods occur every 21-25 days. It used to be every 27 days.

I was diagnosed hypothyroid in May 2013 but diagnosed with Hashimoto's in January 2014. I take 100mcg of levothyroxine a day but I am still fatigued, constipated and depressed. I follow a healthy diet and lifestyle and my latest blood tests were normal.

My mum was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries some time ago but I have had ultrasounds done in 2005 and 2011 that have shown no problem.

Tests have ruled out endometriosis through ESR and ovarian cancer through CA125.

I have cut out gluten and dairy.

I looked into trying out a Liver Detox herbal tea to help with the PMS and soon after drinking it I felt a bit more energetic. I don't want to jump to conclusions but would the herbal tea have anything to do with that? It contains dandelion, peppermint, licorice and camomile. My period then stopped a day early.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

Hi thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated!

I usually drink just black tea with milk but I've been advised to cut out dairy and gluten as I have Hashimoto's. I was recommended to try a herbal tea to help detox my liver and so I assumed that as soon as I drank it I would pee it out as that's what always happens when I drink anything.

I didn't pee it out until much later - about 4 or 5 hours later which surprised me. My urine was still pretty dark too but I guess if I keep going then maybe more good will come out of it. :)
