I am happy with the myo. I just had my third period

post myo (at five months post myo) and it is normal.

I can even use Tampons for the first time in five

years. And they WORK. I wasn't happy about how long

it took to recover but my GP (general doc) had a point

when I complained. I was anemic for years and

severely anemice for almost two years. A lack of red

blood cells does not just cause dizziness, ringing in

your ears, increased bleeding, etc. it also denies

muscles and other cells oxygen. My muscles all over

were starved and under exercised for years and now

they are weak. Post surgery (two months) I could not

do one pushup or a full situp. Doc Z as well as the GP

prescribed physical therapy to correct these losses.

(This is atypical. I didn't need it after the first

surgery but six months later with an average hemo of 7

I was in bad shape. I had only been seing Doc Zinaman

for six weeks when he operated on me. But it was over

half a year later plus I had waited four almost five

months for the first myo. I was bleeding puddles off

and on for all of this time). He was able to find an

opening in his surgical schedule in less than a month

from the day I saw him once he had all the test

results back. He didn't waste time but did the

surgery and when I woke up I felt good. It is the

oddest thing that I came out of the second myo

feeling... well...WELL. I was walking that first day.

Not fast or far and I was weak but I felt good. I

came out of the second myo so much differently than

the first that people who saw me after both commented

on it. Dr Zinaman when I kept insisting I felt good

finally said " well it is out of course you feel

better "

My fibroid was large and degenerating (breaking down)

so maybe that is why. The muscle tissue around the

tumor was damaged and was also biopsied to see if it

was adenomyosis. It wasn't but it was damaged either

by the other surgery or the tumor. (I have the

pathology report but don't understand much beyond it

was damaged and not adeno) I was also overloaded on

Lupron from the previous Doc and on Megace too. As

all that wore off that was when I started noticing the

breast pain, muscle weakness, muscle contractions,

bone pain, etc.

When I look back on it I am probably really lucky. I

mean really lucky. I have not seen many women here

have severe problems ( ex:not being able to walk 10

minutes) post myo resuming their lives. At five

months I am just now feeling strong enough to do the

lifting and bending that are required for my job. If

I had stayed with the first idiot much longer I would

have still been bleeding and severely anemic. I

believe my body couldn't have took much more.

Your choice of Doctor is more important than you know.
