Female problems w/Still's?

March 17, 2004

Hi everyone! This is the Dutchess.......again - lol!!! This post is

concerning female health problems so all of our male Stilligan's if you

don't desire to partake please delete this e-mail. I don't want to offend

anyone, but I am having some trouble and want to see if anyone has

experienced similar troubles.

I went to get my annual OB/GYN exam knowing that I had a few issues to

discuss, such as extremely heavy periods for 2 years now. They are so bad

that even though I take iron every day I am still slightly anemic. My

question is.....does anyone know if Still's can cause abnormally heavy

periods and/or can steroids cause this? I've posted this question recently

and it seems not many of you had this trouble.

The other thing she found was that I have cervical cysts - oh fun! She

removed one right there and then - OUCH!!! Has anyone had this? Cervical

cysts??? I'm wondering if the dragon is causing this problem too? I've

always been blessed with no female medical problems. She's sending that off

to ensure it doesn't have cancer cells.

Anyways......she's recommending a hysterectomy if my rheumy is ok with it.

She said he has to be totally involved (which, of course I agree). She

doesn't know if I'd have trouble with blood clotting and/or going under

anesthesia? The blessing is I have two beautiful, healthy children and we

know we are done birthing children - as soon as I went on MTX my husband had

a vysectomy. So I'm thinking go for it - take it out!!! Any experience

with this? She said I wouldn't have to go under the knife. The other

option is the birth control pill - I just can't see taking another pill when

I don't even need birth control - doesn't make sense to me. I will do that

if the rheumy says no to a hysterectomy, though. I'm getting too weak from

the heavy periods.

My real question to all of you does Still's cause cysts and cycle problems -

have any of you experienced this....Thanks for listening, even if no one has

experienced this one...Love, The Dutchess of Dixie, Chris
