I will have to pass this book title along to my cousin, who has also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

Yoga has been so beneficial to me, I just wish I could keep at it! I always have reasons for not doing it at the end of a day-kids need something, husband needs some timen together, have to get some dishes done. Your post makes me realize that I have to find time to do this again, even if it requires going to the gym to get it in.

Congratulations on your weight loss! Let us know how the yoga goes!

Kegels and kugels

Suzanne Reisman — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 07:52:45 -0500

Not long ago while I was visited my parents, my mom was sort of standing around while the rest of us were sitting and chatting. I asked her what she was doing, and she said, "Kegels." My bubbe overheard her, and became very excited. "There are many kinds of kugel! There's raisin kugel, there's pineapple kugel..."

We all had a good laugh at that. Nothing like confusing noodle pudding with vaginal strengthening exercises.

Hi Suzanne,

Very funny post!

I prefer to think of this bold new world in medicine as
cosmetogynecologicalstupidity.

Since I would have to use one hand to shove my sagging boobs over and the other hand to lift my gut out of the way before I could take a peek at my possibly scrotum like girly parts I really think I am comfortable with the unknown.

Oy Vey What Else!

You had me at "NYTimes" and "pelvic fitness"... Just from that alone I was already squeezing the bejeezus out of my PC's. Thanks for nothin'.

I haven't laughed that hard in ages

alyssaroyse — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:07:11 -0500

Oh bless you Suzanne - laughed so hard I nearly dropped my laptop onto the floor. Hysterical! But, everyone knows a good vagina is nothing without a good pair of balls, so I recommend Smart Balls. (Who would want dumb ones?) And they're plastic, so you can wear them all the way to BlogHer and get all the vagtastic exercise you could ever want. All for $28.

(In reality, the NY Times writers etc.... are centuries behind the ball here, these have been around for centuries, and we've all been doing kegels for years, just because it's funny to make your pee stop and see if you can do it in rhythm to whatever Muzak is playing in the bathroom. Or wait, is that just me?) :)

I've got it: Snatchtastic!

I'm just thrilled someone's come up with another thing I need to improve. If I exercise anything, it's going to be something everyone sees, inlucing me!

What a lovely addition to BlogHer

In between the makeovers and yoga session - I think this would be wonderful.

I find it somehow ironic

earlgreyrooibos — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:27:34 -0500

I find it somehow ironic that after finally re-growing my snatch after two years of shaving, some doctors and media people bombard me with information about more dumb ways to keep myself "attractive." First, they're gonna have to convince me to start shaving it again. Yeah, good luck.

I think it's also interesting that I discovered CUSS right around the time that everything grew back in. That was kinda cool.

There are spa things at the conference

Maybe we can get them to add special vaginal beautifiers...

The power of yoga

nourishingyoga — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 00:39:22 -0500

I am a huge yoga advocate. I have been doing yoga for more than ten years. It helped alleviate severe back pain and sciatica from herniated disks and lose more than 30 pounds. I think the key to yoga's success is it's ability to reduce the effects of stress that is such a huge component of so many chronic illnesses. You may want to check out restorative yoga to help with your fibromyalgia. Larry Payne has a wonderful series of gentle yoga dvds called yoga:rx that you might find useful too.

I love to introduce beginners to the benefits of yoga and have a website: www.nourishing-yoga.com with lots of information about yoga and its benefits. I also do some blogging about yoga on www.simple-nourished-living.com.

hypoxi cost

dizzymum — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 16:47:41 -0500

Hi there,

I'm glad you liked my post. $65 Australian works out to about $62 US. But they offer you two free sessions if you book 10. I know people who have lost a dress size or two in that time, so it seems worth it. It's actual exercise, so not just a quick-fix. Still expensive though ... but think it would be worth it if it works!
