Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 When my fibroids were diagnosed, " surgery " was the first word out of my primary care physicians mouth. When I met with my gyno. she also said surgery was the only answer for my numerous fibroids (one in which is 12cm, other 7,8 3 and 4, etc.) She is suggesting a vertical cut on my belly and gently pushed for hysterectomy by saying, " well that would be the best choice for you, though some women are 'attached' to their uterus for some reason or other, if this is the case we can see if we can do a Myectomy. " Today I am schedule for an MRI. I would be willing to interview. I am 40 as of April, and I began this whole check-up a month after my birthday. H. question Are there any women on this list group who have undergone a hysterectomy while in their 40s and are at least 2 years post hyst that would be interested in being interviewed for a journal piece? Your experience can be either good or bad -- as long as the surgery occurred during your 40s and you are at least 2 years post. You must be willing to have your real name used in the piece. (Except in the section where questions on sexual function post-hyst will be asked. That section will hide the identify of any women who desire it.) Also, are there any women who had hysterectomy recommended while in their 40s (! -- I know, I know -- LOTS of us!), but found another solution? (myomectomy, myolysis, UAE, etc.) who would also be willing to be interviewed and have their names used? A medical journalist is writing a piece on hysterectomy and the alternative treatments available/sought out by women in their 40s and she needs interviews with REAL women with REAL stories -- good or bad -- to fill out the piece. Let me know if you are at all interested ASAP. Just drop me an email off-line and I'll be happy to fill you in on the details. I know there has to be quite a few of you " out there " that fit these 2 bills -- so help me out with this one please and drop me a line!

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 What did you have for breakfast this morning? I forgot to eat breakfast this morning & then I went to Wal-mart around 9:30 & I was wanting to buy everything that looked good. And I know it is so true you should never go shopping when you are starving. But I did good & didn't give in and buy anything I shouldn't. Took alot of will power though. Ha.

Perron > > > Date: 2007/02/26 Mon PM 09:38:19 EST > To: deniseslist , Will Hawke > Subject: Question > > Hello List... > I have a question if anyone has ever experienced this today my son had a real bad melt down in school he refused to want to go to school but i wouldn't give in and took him in an hour late and he then decided to tear up the class room pulling desk over and chairs etc ot protest on wanting to go home...the teachers allowed him to do it and stood by both doors so he wouldn't leave and my husband and i were out the door listening then i couldn't handle what they were doing and weather that was the way school policies are. i feel they should of pulled him from this situation and redirected him somewhere else before it got as far as it did he tore the room apart which allowing him to do it makes me feel that he thinks he can do that kinda behavior at home...our school does not have a behavior person and we are needing one real bad as i also need some direction on who to contact in the broward school board to fight for one. They get double the amount of money for our kids > shouldn't we have the right to know where the money goes and to get help for our kids. They are getting bigger and stronger and services are getting less...if anyone knows anything that can help me in this let me know... > Thanks > Ellen Blackburn:) > > > --------------------------------- > Never miss an email again! > Yahoo!
