Re: stress, activity and heavy bleeding from fibroids--any correlation?

[Guest guest]

I definitely experienced an increase in bleeding after activity. It

used to be that exercise improved my pms and expedited my periods.

Now just a walk around the grocery store has me heading for the couch

to put my feet up. I can feel the bleeding pick up when I move

around. Even getting up to unload the dishwasher brings me to my

knees. You are not crazy at all. As for stress and creative block,

well, who here isn't stressed out and preoccupied when the raging

river begins down there? People who haven't experienced it just

can't possibly understand.

I do not believe that stress increases bleeding, but I do believe that

the heavy bleeding that comes with fibroids increases stress.

I think that maybe increased activity does increase bleeding. It

seemed to do that to me.

Fibroids a symptom of blocked creativity? Yes, that is completely crazy.

I'm sorry, but I think that is a load of new age hogwash! ;-) Somebody had

too much time on their hands to come up with that idea! Dorie

I tend to agree, if you're going to call it " blocked creativity. " My

point, however, was that having fibroids, or their symptoms, if you

don't know you have fibroids, definitely has an effect on my mental

sharpness, my focus, and my energy, which can all be regarded as

necessary to the creative process. Just the amount of time and

energy I have put into researching this and finding medical care has

detracted from my ability to work, take care of my family, and pursue

my hobbies. I am a piano student, and for at least the last six

months, I have had difficulty focusing on it and progressing. I used

to tell my teacher I just feel like I'm in a " funk. " Maybe

not " blocked creativity, " but definitely a " funk. "

New age is so " Not Me " , but then, neither are fibroids.
