Ok, let's get started!

Yes. You read that right. It's possible to have a PAIN-FREE period! Like, not even a slight cramp. I had no clue! 

For most of my life, that time of the month mean​t cramping so severe it was blinding. I would lay in bed massaging my legs, begging them to function so I could stand up and get ready for work. Nausea was constant and severe, it made choking down food a painful job. And, then there was the fatigue. A crushing weight, ever present, the feeling of an elephant riding on my shoulders and the skin on my face feeling like the melting wax of a lit candle. With fatigue comes the feeling of being in a tunnel, with your daily life far away at the opening, where you desperately struggle to see and hear your surroundings. This was often my first day of my period and it was always a day to just survive. The following days of my period would always be much better but with what I now realize was heavy bleeding, very heavy. 

I remember when I was just starting this protocol and could not wait to finish my first mitosis. It seemed so far away, now I have 3 under my belt and I'm still moving forward. Although, not going to lie, this mitosis was a roller coaster. 

Christmas day was the last day of my second mitosis on the bean protocol and I can't think of a better present. It's been 180 days since I started this protocol and I've made it through the second mitosis! I'm writing this post to log my progress for my own memory but also to give you an idea of what can happen and while on the Karen Hurd Bean Protocol. ​Go here to read about my first mitosis or here to read about how to do the protocol.
