Re: Copy of my records and feeling very blue today

[Guest guest]

Go ahead and let it out.....I feel the same exact way, frustrated, exhausted in

pain and still having to funtion as a normal person everyday!

I think that a lot of women in this group feel like that now or have felt like

that at some point, it feels good to at least have some place to vent.

Thank God for this group!

That is why we all need to get and keep our own copy

of our records....for those little surprises.

As for the feeling blue. Of course you do. It is

tough to cope with life daily. If you add a fibroid

with the pain, bloating, worry, and maybe bleeding it

is tiresome, irritating, nervewracking and that equals

sad sometimes. But it isn't unconquerable.

Eat well. Healthy. Iron rich foods are always good

too

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated

Sleep enough

Exercise when you can (if you are really anemic then

exercise in your mind but love your couch)

Do something fun or silly for you

And remember you are never alone in this

I was just enraged as u are. when i received the copies from of the

radiologist report to find that i had cysts on my ovary. I

questioned my gyn a few months later regarding it and they discovered

that mine was a simple cyst that comes and goes away. I know if she

did tell me about it I'd probably would have stressed out even more

and caused my body to breakdown and fibroids to grow at a more rapid

rate than they already have been.

I was definately upset they did not tell me b/one of my friends had

to have surgery for her ovarian cyst and told me it was the size of a

golf ball. I now realize though that it definately wasn't worth me

knowing about the cyst. (that's for me though, not necessarily true

for u) -S
