Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 I just talked to my PCP who told me, after getting the results of a recent ultrasound, that I have many many large uterine fibroids. They are fast growing and I am somewhat suspicious of a possible link between TNF drugs (Enbrel, Remicade and Humira) and the fast development of these fibroids. Does anyone else have experience with this? My PCP is kind of an old-fashioned doctor. When I asked him what the options were his answer was "if I were a woman with this problem, I'd probably have a hysterectomy." My answer was "No thanks, I'd like to keep my body parts as long as possible." As a 45-year old, I don't feel as though this should be my first course of action. But maybe I'll find another board for this particular problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
