Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Just found out that I have fibroids, am going for the ultrasound on Nov. 4. There are so many different options, should I just try to live with them? My mom had breast cancer and it terrifies me that these fibroids may turn into cancer. Be praying for me....Thanks....Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 I would say that how much time you have to " wait and see " depends on the severity of your symptoms. I would recommend that you do find out all you can about fibroids and the treatments available to you. This group is a great start, Carlas website www.uterinefibroids.com is a great resource as well for books, treatment descriptions etc. You didn't mention how large your fibroids are. Since you are in your late 40's you may be able to wait until menopause starts, since fibroids usually shrink after menopause. It's such an individual decision. Just make sure you research your options enough to feel comfortable about making an informed decision about your fibroids. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 oke, Thanks for your response below, and for your understanding. I do agree with one of your comments re: watch and wait and potential impact on future child-bearing. I purposely chose to have a myo last September at the urging of my gynocologist, so that I got rid of the fibroids now and had time to heal before I was ready to try to have children. (Now that I'm healthy, all I need is " Mr. Right " ! :-) Interesting, though - everyone's situation is different. I was quite intrigued by Dr. 's presentation at the " Opening Doors " gathering in Monterey. He doesn't rush his patients into treatment of ASYMPTOMATIC fibroids, and followed up at my request by sharing some information from clinical studies that supports his conclusion that a number of women can successfully conceive and carry a baby to term while having fibroids. Of course, all of that depends on size and location of fibroids - so another reason for women to undergo diagnostics to at least understand their specific situation and potential impact on fertility. I'd recommend Dr. 's book " A Gynecologist's Second Opinion " - it's chock full of very useful information about our gynecological health, and not just about fibroids. > , > Point well taken. I guess my comment was not too compassionate. Sorry. > I just wanted to shake up the girls who have put off kids due to career, > or can't afford it right now, or are in the wait and see mode with their > fibroids. My point is, don't " wait and see " too long. Look into that > myo. The wait and see thing is fine for us nearing menopause, but maybe > not for you still looking to have kids. oke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Vicky, Welcome to our group but sad you have to be here. I'm 57 and have PLS since 1995. I know you have many question to ask. Nothing is off limits with this group. They all are a loving caring group. We laugh, cry, and even say prayers for each other. You'll find that we are different in our progression with PLS. Some are more effected then others with our disabilities. I use a walker for my daily use my balance is really bad without my walker I'd be lost without it. If you already haven't found the SPF site please do it is full of many answers for you.............................http://www.sp-foundation.org............there are a few more but this will get you started in finding out more about PLS. We still don't have a cure but I think that the future looks good. You're going to go though many life changing experiences but to deal with this you need to keep a good attitude and try to make the best of your life. We're not going to die from PLS but we can make how we deal with it a little easier..................So just ask any questions or concerns you have someone will answer you. Were are you from?.............Flora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Well you have to meet our strict acceptance standards... First you have to know what PLS stands for or at least be able to spell PLS... Second, you have to have a badge, no scratch that, we don't need no stinkin badges... Third... let's see, third??? You know come to think of it we are kind of a loose group here... Oh, what the heck, welcome Vicky, so sorry you had to find us, just happy you did, you have found a home here. dale New Member > I just found this web site today and joined.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 >>Morning Cortisol (5:15am) 6.6 range (ng/ml) 3.7-9.5 Noon Cortisol (11:45am) 1.1 1.2-3.0 Evening Cortisol (5:15pm) 0.9 0.6-1.9 Night Cortisol (10:00pm) 0.2 0.4-1.0<< HC is Hydrocortisone which is bioidentical Cortisol. I do nto believe you need anything that strong. I would suspect wiht good herbals, possibly licorice root and proper thyroid treatment your adrneals can come back without going as far as HC. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
