Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 well that stinks. I know I had my fair share over the years since my early 20's. If it's lyme related, I have no idea. I had something strange happen to me. My ovary twisted all the way around and it blew up to almost 11 cm's....which resulted in gangrene. Talk about PAIN!!! I was one sick cookie. People used to call me twisted but sheesh Good luck to ya...I know those aren't any fun! Anita [Lyme-aid] Ovarian cysts >From: cheryl@... > >Anyone know of a connection between this and lyme?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 They are related. Back in september I discovered I have ovarian cysts one on each side. Never had them before. I did read something that lyme can cause cysts. Hopefully yours arent too big. take care and good luck. kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 1999 Report Share Posted August 13, 1999 I don't know if Lyme and ovarian cysts are related or not but I have Lyme and I HAD ovarian cysts ... many, many ovarian cysts. It finally got so bad I had a complete hysterectomy about seven years ago and the doc said I had cysts *inside* my ovaries. For years prior to the surgery I would have horrendous ovary pain ... felt like they were playing tennis with each other. The hysterectomy was the best thing I ever did. :-) But we never did come to a conclusion if they were related or not. I am a DES baby ... my mom took DES when she was pregnant for me to stop from having a miscarriage and it has been proven that female DES babies have a lot of uterine/vaginal/gyn problems. And on to another topic ... the " waves " that we get. I also get them and I have described them as exactly that for quite awhile now. I get waves of nausea and dizziness. Then waves of rolling neck/head pain. If I am standing up when they happen I have to sit down, or risk falling down. Not fun. But they're especially interesting when you're in a group of people you don't know and all of a sudden your face turns ash gray, or white, and you grab for anything you can reach. } Y'all have a good day!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Same here - tons of ovarian cysts, even cysts inside the ovary. When I aquired my surgery records - guess what ? The surgeon noted on the report : Late infection of parasitic diseases !!!! I am planning on meeting with him to find out exactly how the parasitic part showed itself etc ....

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I have a friend at work who has been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. They biopsied it to make sure it wasn't cancer, and it isn't. She came to me because I am the "health guru (read that "health nut"), and I said I'd find out all I can about alternate methods. I'm off to check the files and archives, but if anyone has something they can share, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks all for being there!!!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Personally I would cut out all dairy and of course, meat. Actually read that as any animal products. I used to have "female" problems on a regular basis until I went vegetarian and then when I went raw, everything cleared up in that area. While I was never diagnosed with cysts, I did have a tubal pregnancy that I attribute to poor diet. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 the one thing that helped me when I had these was cutting down on the caffeine. It’s tough if you are used to them perking you up during the day, but slowly cutting back and replacing it with clean water would do her a world of good.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 That's one of the things I recommended. That and cutting out ALL animal products and by products. And artificial flavour enhancers and sweetners. I told them that baby steps are the easiest, so start slow and work up. > > the one thing that helped me when I had these was cutting down on the > caffeine.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Each case is different and in reference to living beings, nothing is exact. I have been vegetarian for more than 20 years and I eat mainly raw, I got cysts, fibroids and gall bladder stones ----- Original Message ----- From: SV health Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 6:48 AM Subject: Re: ovarian cysts Personally I would cut out all dairy and of course, meat.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I had ovarian cancer 12 years ago. I've had my ca125 monitored ever since. I was diagnosed with cml in 2004. Ever since my cml diagnosis, my ca125 has been above normal. It has also risen as high as 183, then gone down to 43 for no reason. All scans are clear. My oncologist concludes that the gleevec has something to do with it. I think it's from fluid retention that I feel. If you've had ovarian cysts and are monitored by ca125 while on Gleevec, beware that the number may be elevated. in NY ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
