Whoa!

[Guest guest]

I recently joined the chat group. My problems are small after reading all

the things you all have been through.

After increasing pain..like a baseball bat across your back....after laying

on the floor trying to take the pressure off my back...after repeated

complaints and little concern from my Doctor.....I started doing my

research. During one emergency room visit at Doctor told me I had a cyst

the size of an orange on my right side...like I don't know it's on my right

side. He gave me pain medication. That's it. The pain still made no

sense. Nothing hurts like this without an explanation or a method to

resolve the problem. I have decided it wasn't a cyst by a fibroid.

I hate surgery. I distrust most Dr.'s For many of the reasons many of you

have mentioned. Much of what I learned about Dr.'s and the way most of them

work was during my best friends battle with breast cancer. I learned

several things that I carry with me. Never take one Doctor's word. Check

with several Doctor's. Never trust that the medication is the right

medication for you. Find a pharmacist that specialized in compounding

medications for individual needs. If your insurance covers

prescription...you should be fine. I know pharmacist take four years of

pharmacology and Dr. take a quarter. What does that tell you!

I would also like to know if anyone has had the experience of fibroids that

eventually took care of themselves. Mine seem to come in cycles. Has this

been anyone else's experience? I take garlic and acidolphlus. This

combination works for maintain balanced ph in your body. I have learned

that being too acidic can create some of these problems. I saw an

accupuncturist and he gave me this advice. I haven't had any problems

lately. However, I never know when these things will popup.

I have strong objections to the cut/slash method that Dr.'s take when it

comes to our body. When you start cutting out essential parts of your body

you are creating havoc on the rest of your body. Dr.'s forget to tell you

this until after the fact. There is a reason we have certain body parts. A

Doctor's ultimate goal should be to not cut on you....to keep your body

intact. Women need what God gave us in order for our bodies to function

properly. Only if you have tried everything else and your instinct tells

you you have done all you can would I allow a Dr. to cut on me.

Stand straight for your rights as a patient. If a Dr. doesn't listen...fire

him and I mean quick. And let him know he is being fired and why. I now

tell any Dr. that I work with my requirements. To listen to me....to

comprehend what I am saying...to take me serious....and not be wondering

where he has to be next. If it takes an hour for me to understand ...I

will get an hour. So far this has gotten the attention of Dr.'s. The flat

nail doesn't get hit kinda thing. Be the client that stands out.

That's my sermon for the day. Hope it helps or encourages someone.
