Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Yes, I'm sorry to hear that both of you have fibroids if you're curious to see what's in your bodies, check out Jen's photo album, as she had some removed last year. It bums me out that this happens so often to women our age! Our thoughts are with both of you. Hugs,Donna M-P wrote: Hi, So sorry to hear about your fibroids and all that goes w/ them.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Thanks Donna! Yeah, apparently my doctors don't see many athletes. When I complained about the increase in size of my waist and weight with no change in body fat, she retorted that if my weight went up my BMI went up. I had to explain to her that BMI is bogus and that my Body Fat Percentage was still 18.5%. Part of me wanted to walk out right then, but I can't perform surgery on myself, so I have to believe that the doctors know their end of things and I'll worry about the fitness part. I let her do the thyroid tests that she insisted upon, even though I knew my weight gain had nothing to do with thyroid, and let her eat crow when she came back in with the results. I then told her to do a hormone test because I think it is my estrogen being out of balance that is causing the fibroids and cysts to grow. I'll get the results back from it next week when I go back. The level of knowledge from doctors in South Georgia makes me really miss my doctor in Charlotte. She was one of my Pilates students and understood me a lot better.
