Hi

There are alternatives to a hysterectomy that will allow you to keep

your fertility, such as the myomectomy. (IF you do choose to go for

a hysterectomy at any time, there are different types). Whatever you

do, don't actually put your name down for a hysterectomy in haste to

repent at leisure. You can easily tell the gynaecologist you need a

bit longer to make your decision.

Make a note of where you were in your menstrual cycle when you have

an ultrasound test, as it may help to determine if cyst is just a

normal menstrual cycle cyst or not).

I personally think it makes sense to ask the gynaecologist and GP

all the questions that are very specific to your own case and their

specialisms and attitudes. General information about what fibroids

are and what a treatment involves can be easily found on the

internet, the forums and in the many fibroid books.

Be very honest with the GP and gynaecologist to avoid problems such

as inappropriate treatments and prescriptions and to enable them to

help fix symptom problems better.

Depo gets mentioned in some fibroid books. These are fibroid

symptoms you've listed. I don't know either way if headaches are.

Make sure other possible causes are eliminated too, even when

something is definitely fibroid symptom as some people still have a

symptom after their operation recovery.

You also don't HAVE to have an operation at all. Many women just

live with the fibroids, keeping an eye on changes and reading up on

the treatment options further. Treatment options may be better when

they're not too big though.

Some fibroid books give an outline of different treatment options,

explain symptoms and what a fibroid is. Other types of books focus

on natural progesterone, like a sales pitch. Another type of fibroid

book explore the topic in a more spiritual emotional way...a bit new

agey.

Thank you very much-

I just got home from my in-laws and it was very cold were they

were-it got to a high of like 10 degrees or something- where I am is

cold as well but not that cold.. I had my hand bundled up in several

mittens. I hope you are not having too much pain! I am sorry it is

in both hands! Well I have to go now- my attorney's office called me

tonight to say that my attorney left their firm 2 days ago and has

all my file- she started her own practice- great news as the new

year comes- now I have to figure out which folks to go with and who

will be the best to handle my work comp case- Good grief- I can't go

without one because I could loose my doctor's care and as we all

know to well- we need our doctors

Hope you have a good New Year if I don't get back on before then -

thnaks for the reply!

Mle,

Hi my name is Dawn and wanted to welcome you to the group! So sorry I did not do this sooner, but did not realize you were here until now!

I feel terrible with all the pain you are going thru and you have a small child. Does your family or husband help you much? I hope so, because I have it in my right knee and also have MS and major back problems and if I did not have my Mom nearby right now I would be in the nut house!!! I have been in the most incredible pain the last 48 hours that if I cannot be seen by my pain doc today, then I must go to the ER to get some help for this pain!!! It is ridiculous that none of my meds are even touching the pain at this moment and if I got three hours of sleep last night that would have been a lot!

What type of doctors do you see? Do they believe in RSD? I know that so many on here have a problem finding doctors that believe in this illness! I was suppose to take an injection last night for my MS, but could not because it causes inflamation and know that my back pain would only get 100 times worse and would end up calling the ambulance!!! Well I won't keep telling you about my problems and will try and talk to you once I am feeling a little better.

Just wanted to say welcome and you will find that the men and women in this group are by far the best you will ever meet!!! I have truley met friends for life on here and would not change it for the world!! I thank God everyday for leading to these wonderful people!! You will also find that so many on here have an incredible knowledge of RSD and so many other illnesses that it is so easy to ask them for help!!! Take Care and I wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy coming New Year!!! LOL and Best Wishes Always!!!!

Dawn

P.S. Please tell us your first name if you do not mind? It just makes things easier and more homey when you do that! Thanks

MLE you can go into your profile if you want to and click on send all e-mails, that way you can tell who is responding to you, or you can jump into any conversation going, if it is meant to be private then the parties that are having the conversation would e-mail each other.

I am glad that you don't feel alone anymore, that is what it felt like to me too. I now feel like I have a second family.

So like I believe I have said before, feel free to get a cup of and join in, you are among friends and don't worry about offending me if I ask you a question and you don't respond, I probably had forgotten that the I asked you a question.

take care,

Lin

Hi , nice to meet you. I am new here too. My name is Faye. I have a daughter that is the same age as you are. You sound like you have a great positive attitude and outlook, for one who is so young and has suffered so much heartbreak already in life. Also remember to keep a sense of humour....

In honour of meeting you, I would like to send the enormous amount of snow we have here - especially the amount in and around my driveway - down to North Carolina, and because you seem so nice - to NOT your driveway, but rather your lawn or some other similar 'catch all'.

Take care, nice to meet you, Faye

Hi

Welcome back. I've been here since about May after having been

diagnosed with RSD when I sprained my wrist back October 2003. Since

then I have been through the usual routes of treatment from therapy,

to injections, med alterations and patches. I was out of work for 6

months because as an aide in a nursing home not being able to use

your hands and arms can pretty much render you useless. I am back a

few hours a day working with Staff Education tracking inservices and

coordinating new employee education.

Im sorry to hear of your losses and the depression that came with it

all but Im glad to see that you are making your way back and it

sounds like you have a very upbeat attitude now and a wonderful

support system.

As far as the snow goes...I live here in Massachusetts and I've had

enough fill of the white stuff for this year so I'll gladly send it

your way. This morning its a whopping 3 degrees at 6:15am!! I have to

go out in about an hour and I am dreading it already!

Anyway, welcome back and I cant wait to learn more about you.

Donna

Hi ,

I'm new to the board too. I'm sorry you've been through so much the

past few years - life can be so hard sometimes. I hope that things

continue to look up for you and that you get some much-

needed " breathing room " from all the difficulties you've been

experiencing. Sounds like living in the country is a good start :)

Wish I could.

Hope you get lots of snow this weekend!

Kathleen at least the Cushing's is now under control. Do you see an

Endocrinologist for both? I would have thought you would have a better A1C

than when the Cushing's was uncontrolled. What were your A1C's like before,

and how long have you had diabetes.

Hello,

My name is Kathleen and I have type 2 diabetes. So far I have been

primarily diet control and/or oral medications. I just got the results

of my latest H-A1C today and I feel like crying, it was 8.9. Why is

that going up as I am finally starting to lose some weight? For quite

awhile I couldn't lose weight due to Cushing's Syndrome, but now my

Cushing's is controlled.

Welcome, Kathleen. What do you mean by " diet control " ? The high carb

ADA diet or a low carb diet?

I guess you would say it was low carb, mostly meats and vegetables.

Bev,

This is the highest A1C that I have ever had. I started off with

somewhere around a 6.9, then 7.0, then 7.4, then 8.0, and now 8.9. I

forget some of the other readings.

I was diagnosed in Oct. 2000 just three months after major surgery

for a 9cm malignant Adrenal Tumor.

Not all vegetables are low carb. Potatoes, for instance, are worse than

just spooning in pure sugar. Corn (which is actually a grain) is high in

carbs, as are things like winter squash, peas, and carrots. A favorite

saying here is " YMMV " which means " Your Milage May Vary " . That is, some

find they don't spike or at least don't spike badly with some of the

high-carb veggies in limited portions and some of us just can't even THINK

about eating them. For instance, many find raw carrots are okay for them

(but not cooked ones). I can eat a small serving of winter squash like

Acorn Squash or Butternut Squash without my numbers going too high

after. So the question is, what vegetables are you eating?

I think you said you are loosing weight finally. If that is recent, it

may just take some time for your A1c to reflect that. How are your

daily readings?

Well then, the next question is, what meds are you taking and how much?

Possibly you need a larger dose of something.

Is regular exercise part of your program?

Are any high GI carby foods part of your regular diet -- such as

anything made with grains (cereal, pasta, breads), root vegetables or

rice?

Another question...how much overweight were you at diagnosis? Do you

have a family history of diabetes? A possible explanation is that you're

LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults -- essentially type 1, adult

onset). With LADA, meds may work for a while but then they stop

working, which is what seems to have happened with you.

LADA is often misdiagnosed as type 2.

My fasting level this morning was 164, so for breakfast I had lettuce

with beets and hard-boiled eggs. I was hoping that a breakfast like

that would bring it blood sugar down a little more.

I'm allergic to peas and celery, so I have been avoiding them (the

doctor just diagnosed those allergies in August). I eat a lot of

broccoli and tomatoes, but I also eat corn, dried beans, green beans,

beets, saurkraut, lettuce, carrots (I love raw carrots), occasionally

potatoes. Sometimes other things like cucumbers, squash, peppers.

I have been taking Avandia 4mg, but the doctor just changed my meds

yesterday and now I'm on Avandia 8mg and Glucophage 500mg.

I haven't been exercising due to arthritis and fibromyalgia issues,

but I want to try walking (perhaps indoors, so that my asthma won't

be affected).

I am allergic to wheat and yeast, so I don't eat any bread, pasta, or

cereal. I do eat rice, it's my main starch. I also eat rice cakes

quite often. Sometimes I eat potatoes, but I eat carrots fairly often.

I can't remember for sure how much I weighed when I was diagnosed,

but I'm guessing that it was around 250 - 260 and the doctor would

like to see me get down to roughly 150.

There is a heavy family history of diabetes on my mother's side (we

traced it back 5 generations). My father became diabetic just several

years before he passed away.

Hi Kathleen and welcome to the list~!

In the vegetable department, we each vary so much that the only way to find out

which ones affect you is to do frequent testing. Do you test 1 & 2 hours after

eating to see what the various vegetables do to your BGs?

What a bummer that you're allergic to celery. It's practically a free food, carb

wise.

Corn and tomatoes usually spike " most " of us. Since tomatoes are so good for us,

I do have them, just in less quantity now, and I use rapid acting insulin when I

eat them. If you have an aversion to needles, there are medications that can be

used if you know you will be having a meal that spikes you. I think the newer

meds for this are Starlix and Prandin.

You mentioned beets. Aren't they higher in carbs than some veggies? I'm guessing

at this one. I just remember them being called sugar beets. I may be way off

target here. I have tham so rarely and in low quantity, I never looked up their

carb content.

Best to you,

I had no idea that tomatoes could raise blood sugar. I'm about to the

point that I don't know what to eat anymore between allergies (wheat,

yeast, barley, celery, and peas), 3 doctors have ordered me not to

eat any beef (it raises my cortisol levels), low-sodium due to

Cushing's Syndrome, and this impossible to figure out diabetes diet.

Okay, Kathleen, rice -- brown or white, doesn't seem to matter -- makes

most of our BGs rise. Maybe it won't with you but it's worth a test.

Some kinds of beans also will raise BGs, again try testing before, 1 and

2 hours after meal then you'll know. Try testing it in isolation or

with other foods that you already know how they affect your BGs for a

clear picture. Rice cakes will usually cause BG rise. If you need

crunchy, try pork rinds - a lot of us have no problem with those at all.

Sauerkraut is excellent and usually doesn't raise BGs. You might also

try cabbage, either steamed or raw. Cooked carrots usually raise BGs but

raw not so much.

It does sound like you're a bonafide type 2, so much for my suggestion

about LADA, smile.

Watch out for the beets - they're a root veggie and may cause BG rise.

You might as well have some bacon, ham or sausage with those eggs.

If you can find lowcarb tortillas, some aren't bad tasting and fill the

place where the breakfast toast used to be. They're also good for

roll-ups or burritos - or even cinnamon toast made with Splenda.
