Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Hi I am in Toronto, Canada. I had 16 fibroids and had UAE done 10 months ago. I feel great, although the fibroids have not shrunk much. There are no new ones and all my symptoms are gone. My problem is that since they are calcified, but not reducing should I now consider surgery? I found the information on Dr. Sved helpful. Thanks! Anymore assistance is appreciated.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Are you both taking IRON? it may help with the feeling of exhaustion, if you feel that tired you must be anemic. I feel better now that I am taking iron, a little tired but not like before. . --- sky wrote: > Thanks , > Glad to hear I'm not alone!! At least it's not in my > head!!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Hey there!! Actually, My Doc has tested me, but I'm not anemic. Everytime I have went to the Gyn for annual etc..they have tested me and the result says that I am not anemic. However, I could be one of those riding on the borderline and nothing is ever said. I've asked several diff. Gyn if I am anemic and they say no..Thanks, Sky --- dulce maria rico wrote: > Are you both taking IRON? it may help with the > feeling > of exhaustion, if you feel that tired you must be > anemic.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 , I'm not anemic and I'm so tired I feel I could croke-I think fibroids have a draining effect on energy-just a theory.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 You write that all your symptoms are gone. Why then would you consider surgery? Is it to have a flatter looking belly? and/or to try to avoid possible future problems (such as prolapse? Your situation wouldn't be so different from that of a post-menopausal woman with harmless " wombstones " (dead, calcified fibroids) > ...I had 16 fibroids and had UAE done 10 months ago.
