Re: Re: NIH:mifepristone

[Guest guest]

Hi Bonnie,

I couldn't agree with you more on the effects fibroids have on your body and

life! I am finding it a struggle to move on and progress with my life as I

seem to be plagued the daily niggles and pains which the fibroids bring. I

am 34 years old with no children. I had a myomectomy in 1989 - the fibroids

have since regrown. I would like to become a mother and feel confused about

the options available UAE/Myomectomy and in which order should have them if

I need to have both. Just the thought of having to go through these

procedures gives me a headache!

Regards

Hello to Everyone,

I'm the new member-just signed on as of yesterday.

I received the alert re: the above.As a Canadian I have no idea how I

can influence the NIH.Canada follows the US on most policies,but not on

everything-you guys can,for example buy progesterone cream

over-the-counter we cannot and if you are caught crossing the US/Can

border they can impound the car etc.etc.etc.

I do not know a lot about mifepristone,however,my hunch is that it can

be used for early abortion purposes and so there is a moral debate here.

I suffer from the same disease as most of you.Fibroids are a terrible

curse.benign,yet able to make one's life a living hell.Research on all

aspects of our disease should never,ever, be stopped.In fact no one has

shown enough interest until enough of us became " baby boomers " in

menopause.

Please,what can I do to help.Let me know.

All research with potential to effect change/cure of our disaese should

be encouraged.

Bonnie
