Guest guest Posted September 20, 2000 Report Share Posted September 20, 2000 Right now I am experiencing a great deal of anger, grief, frustration and fear, especially fear. It now seems that all the agony and research not to mention putting up with the actual & I suspect intentional abuse at the hands of doctors may be all for nothing. I woke up early this morning, crying my eyes out! Why? Because I have an appointment with a gyn next Monday to get my weird symptoms checked out. If this keeps up, I will not be able to go thru with the appointment! Last Dec I went thru the aborted D & C fm Hell. I still have nightmares and thoughts of suicide over this incident. At least if I were dead, I would no longer have to put up with fibroids! I have scanned thru the archives of this board looking for any posts on uterine infections following UAE. Of course I didn't find too much and what I did find was not comforting. But as one member has kindly pointed pointed out, this is not the embo board. And of course I ran across some of my old posts right after UAE. What a sap I was! I'm sorry I'm coming across as such a B..ch, but I have to save my one remaining valium tablet until Monday and it's really too early in the afternoon to open the Jack s...I'm just having a hard time dealing with the fact that all my research, pain, agony, not to mention considerable personal expense may have been all for nothing. Worst of all, the thought of having some gyn poking around down there & hearing the dreaded H word is absolutely sending me over the edge.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2000 Report Share Posted September 20, 2000 Dear Liz, You are not sounding like a B**** at all! You sound like a woman who is totally fed up with all the pain, misery, confusion and frustration the fibroids (and doctors) are causing you!! I totally sympathize with you. I am fighting tooth and nail to keep my uterus, even though the doctors in my town seem to think a hysterectomy (at age 28!!!!!) is the " easiest and safest " way to go. I am on my period right now (which will last at least 7 more days). I am having heavy bleeding, cramps, clotting, etc. As if that isn't enough, this morning my mother in law walks in and says " You look terrible! You look about as good as I feel! I feel tired, but you look worse than that! " Gee, thanks!!!! Try bleeding to death every month and we'll see how you feel, woman!!!! GRRRR!!!!!! I don't know exactly what happened with your D & C in December, but it sounds like it was very traumatic. I am very sorry! Please know you are in my thoughts!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2000 Report Share Posted September 20, 2000 Liz, I'm not sure this is of any help, but let me give you a bit of my experience post-UAE. I had a very smelly, nasty discharge that had me changing pads every couple of hours. I did not have any pain and if I had a fever I didn't know it. This was about two weeks or so after the procedure. Well, I didn't figure out what was going on until I was unable to urinate. It seems the fibroid (about the size of a grapefruit) had " died " and my body was trying to expel it. In fact, the dead thing was part way through by cervix. I was given antibiotics and know this is the part you don't want to hear but I then had a D & C to get rid of the dying fibroid. I was completely knocked out for the procedure and had very, very minimal pain - much less than when my fibroids were affecting my periods. Since then I have had no problems with my two very small remaining fibroids (knock on wood). I'm not saying the fibroid is dying but it's a possibility. And I have to say getting rid of the thing solved my back problems, my bloated stomach, constipation, frequent urination, etc. Hope that helped a little.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2000 Report Share Posted September 20, 2000 Aren't mother-inlaws wonderful?!? It took me 28 years and a serious medical condition to come to terms with mine, Even now she distrusts me because I look like a Chink! 28 is entirely too young, in my opinion, to undergo hysterectomy unless you have cancer. There again, that's just my opinion. Perhaps it is time for you to travel to another town, or state for that matter to get a second opinion. Sounds like you have done quite a bit of suffering yourself. Thanks again for the support. Liz > Dear Liz, > > You are not sounding like a B**** at all!
