Guest guest Posted April 18, 1999 Report Share Posted April 18, 1999 was just diagnosed this week, and quite frankly, <br>I'm confused. You see, two years ago I was diagnosed, after many years of the symptoms, with Fibromyalgia. And have been under a doctor's care for that. Not long after that, I started having extremely irregular menstrual cycles, and was treated (without suceess) for that. Then in October of 97 I started losing weight with the aid of a prescription. To date I have lost 80lb, but there are about 2 or 3 times a year that I stop progressing and even gain a pound or two. My weight has been an issue all of my adult life, my all time high being #389. Now to come up to date, last weekend I started hemoraging. My gyn gave me a shot and yet more pills to stop the bleeding and I go back 4-26 for a biopsy and to most likely schedule a hysterectomy. Then also last week my gp <br>diagnosed the thyroid problem and started me on synthroid. <br>Now for my confusion. I have been researching all three problems this past week and have found that they all have pretty much the same symptoms. I would of course like to avoid major surgery if I can. And I certainly would not be a happy camper if I had it and discovered it was not the answer.<br>So at this point I just don't know up from down or what is what. And I have never been on so many medications in my life. I will end this book for now. Any feedback would be deeply appreciated.<br> Thanks, Kali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
