Hi everyone

I am suffering with fibroids. I have heavy bleeding, I

am anemic and when I have my period I bleed for a

whole month. My doc said that my fibroids are on the

outside wall of my uterus but he never told me what

size they are or anything else. I didn't know about

the other options I have because all he has ever

talked to me about is a hysterectomy. I would have

never known about myo, uab or anything else had it not

been for you all and I want to say thanks for all the

information and I am open for all the advice and

suggestions that anyone can give. I live in

Washingotn, DC and I am in need of another gyn. If

anyone know of a good doc in my area please let me

know.

Thank you,

Sakina,

My heart goes out to you! I've suffered from extreme bleeding

and had a UFE on 1/30. I am very anemic now which they say will

take like 3 months to be normal again. Try the yahoo embo group

also. Not that I'm recommending a UFE for you, but you'll get great

information from the group. this is where I found my IR and got all

my questions answered. Don't wait, anemia is so awful. Good Luck,

Jen
