Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 And here I am complaining about " really dry hair " . I feel for you with your present situation. I am sure this is a stressful time for you and your husband. I am not sure that fibroids can be affected by an increase in stress, but we surely know that amny things certainly are, so I would guess that fibroids could " exacerbate " in some way ( since our hormonal balance communicates with them (adrenals respond to stress,which can throw estrogen out of whack which causes fibroids to grow, etc). I am going to pray for you. Take care. Doreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Hi, I was diagnosed with IBS, spastic colon and I feel tummy upsets before " P " too. I think between my spastic colon and the fibroid I feel much more tummy upsets due to bloating around that time. I'll keep you and your husband in my prayers. Blessings, Elise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 I, too, have wondered about the effects of stress on fibroids. My mother passed away after a long illness and my son has had some tremendous problems. I don't know if it has anything to do with anything, but I certainly have been stressed the last couple of years.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 My wife was diagnosed fibromyalgia 5 years ago. She went to doctors with her health deteriorating, much weight gain, gall bladder removal and knee problems that doctors recommended knee replacement saying all was fibro related. Being 42 I thought there had to be a alternative. I researched other alternatives and decided to go with a new alternative called prolotherapy. This dr. told her he didn't think she had fibro and tested her for gluten intolerance, hormone in balance and thyroid. She test positive for all these even though her other doctors had tested for these they showed negative. Her doctor recommended the hcg diet in which he is on, go on a gluten free diet, take thyroid medication, hormone medication and prolotherapy injections in her knees which is extremely painful. Started july 2011 and lost 68 pounds, no more fibro type pain, sleeping really great and knees are not better but no pain as long as she don't over do it. She still undergoing prolo. But feels great. Just letting everyone know just in case of a misdiagnosis and hope it helps someone. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
