Re: New to the boards....a long story..sorry...

[Guest guest]

I feel so bad for you being in this constant pain. I urge you to

try to find a doctor that will listen and will help you. I gotta

believe that there are some good doctors in Australia...you just have

to find one....I know it is a pain to try to find a good Dr. but

living like you are is not quality. I know there are some ladies

online here from Australia....anyone know a good Dr. for Suziedee?

Hi Suziedee,You've been through a lot and your treatment has been

appalling,i can't believe you are in Oz.... where are you? Doctors

really don't know much about fibroids and what symptoms they

cause,considering how many women develop fibroids this is

scandalous.You must pressure them to act eg. tests.To tell you to go

home when you know something is wrong is simply neglect,we need to

stand up to them more than we do.

I'm sorry that I can't help with recommendations of treatment(I have

polyps and fibroids) but try not to get despondent just yet,at least

until you can find a GOOD gyn.Fibroids can certainly cause pain but

with your other conditions you need a good gyn to evaluate your

circumstances.Please tell us where you are and hopefully we can help

you to get the treatment you deserve.You can also check the

archives,type in " Australia " and you will get info from ladies who

have come before and those that are current members..I wish you the

very best of luck.

Suziedee,

Glad to hear your GP will go into bat for you,that's great.Noelene

lives in Perth and had a myo at King Memorial Hospital for

Women,guessing that's the hospital you're referring to.Haven't seen

her on the list lately though, hope she sees you're in Perth and

chimes in.Don't know who her doctor was but can give you her e-mail

address, send me an e-mail offline smkarius @ hotmail.com(without the
