Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 I have been reading the posts here for a while and was hoping someone could advise me. Some were talking of fibroids a few weeks back and I have some similar symptoms, but still not sure. My family and friends are urging me to go to the gyno, but I was hoping to avoid that and take care of it myself. So here goes..... I was on birth control pills on and off for 20 years. Never had any noticeable problems (besides forgetting to take them from time to time) as soon as I stopped I was able to get pregnant. I stopped them quite a while back because I'm over 35 and a smoker, the price and of course they are big pharma. So as usual, I started getting a cycle again. I felt really free, but now I had to worry about getting pregnant. I figured at my age, my chances would be lower. I lost about 20#s after the holidays, was feeling great. Then in March I started gaining weight, feeling pressure on my bladder,(well I don't feel the pressure, but I have to go all the time), I get pain in my stomach, its hard to describe, but it is usually after I eat, but not always. Sex is uncomfortable, not down there, but from the pressure on my stomach. I feel so lazy lately. Not tired, but just lazy (don't feel like doing anything) At first, I thought I could be pregnant, but I didn't have this stomach pain with any other pregnancy and I haven't had a period since Sept or Oct. I think I would be heavier. Its like I do have something in there, sometimes I feel like it is moving. It is really weird. When pregnant, I didn't feel any movement until I was like 6 mos. along and a lot bigger. Also I gained weight all over. This is just my belly. I know every pregnancy is different, but I really don't think that is what it is. I suppose I should do a test to be sure, but I hate to spend the $$$$$$. Thanks for listening and if anyone has insights, please share them. I know the symptoms are very confusing, but I really feel uncomfortable dealing with the doctor.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hi =0) I see that you don't prefer a doctor,but it sounds like you really need to get a pap. I waited around 7 years to have my last one done last month,with some of your symptoms, it ended up that I have Severe high grade pre cancerous Dysplasia...and now I have to have surgery on the 9th for a bigger biopsy,to see if it is cancer. I have never had children and am almost 41,so your symptoms may be unrelated,plus I don't know if you have regular paps lol,so this is the advice that I offer. I hope it helps? P.s. Some of the symptons I have is going to the powder room constantly...I tell people I have a prostate lolol...sometimes it feels like my uterus is going to just fall out and is sooo painfull. My periods are very painful and irregular,like one time it will last 3 days,the next might last 13...plus sometimes having 2 in the same month. I am very lethargic as well,totally uninspired,depressed. I also have Hypothyroid that can't ever be normal so I am constantly having my script changed in mgs.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hi Karly, Thanks for responding. I actually thought about going in if only to get their 2cents. (even though IMO its not worth that LOL) Anyhow, I had the same thing about 10 years ago, (so they say) and they froze it. Said it was no big deal. Then 7 years later when I was having my son the doc says there is problems because I have scar tissue from that procedure. (lovely) To make it clear, I had my daughter in 93' (first) extremely easy preg. and delivery, so in 02' get pregnant with son had some uncomfortable symptoms, but nothing to complain about, but the delivery is another story. Thankfully, we are both ok now, but that was a horrible experience for both of us and I told my hubby I think it will kill me if I have another. That's how bad it was at the time. Like I said, I felt normal after that until just recently. The pain is not really bad and not all the time. About the dysplasia, when I had that in 95', I didn't have any syptoms, they claim it was there from my pap. Ihaven't been in there since my six-week checkup after having my son. I was hoping to cure myself with dietary changes. I realize that will be a challenge considering my diet. lol I hope all goes well for you. Please don't let them do too much poking and prodding. I don't want to frighten you and this is just my opinion, I have never known anyone who died from cancer--they died from the medical treatment of it. Most everyone in my family has. I used to fear that word so much, but now I know how to save myself from it. Many blessings to you. Be well and let me know how you are doing.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 You know what? I am a very bad girl =0( I do take some herbs...milk thistle ..echinacia,licorice root,pure cranberry,bitaminC,and b12 complex when needed. BUT...here's the bad part. I am on quite a few prescription meds. I have agoraphobia with panic attacks,bipolar with hypo mania,I am co~dependant,hyperactive,adhd and have ocd. Also I have been a chronic insomniac since birth lol. They had me on 1000mg,yes a 1000 of Somnote (the old date rape drug) and that didn't even work,hence the Ambian...my brain does not have a shut off button lol. I also had them recently take me off of buspar and paxil cr because they weren't helping,hence the Zoloft I take clonazapam,lamictal,zoloft,ambien and synthroid for a very wacky hypothyroid. I am afraid of any clenses as I get Diahrrhea? lol and am afraid that will make it worse. I also have hypoglosimia. I feel like I'm in a catch 22. Thank you for advising me,but I just don't know what to do with all these disorders,without the meds that keep me from depression,panic attacks and sleeping!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hello Karly, You will remain in a Catch 22 until you really decide to do something about this, no matter what it takes. Medications do NOT cure such problems, they only MASK the symptoms. In order for you to fully CURE these problems, you need to start with the Total Body Cleanse. The TBC also includes a much improved diet, such as all organic food, as well as exercise. It may not be comfortable, or as easy as pill-popping, but it WILL put you on the road to full recovery. But it's up to you to make the first step and disagree with the way things are; enough to accept your responsibility in this matter and DO something. love Lisa - Karly herbal remedies Friday, May 06, 2005 4:43 AM Re: Herbal Remedies - Hello Need help with diagnosis/prognosis (LONG) I take clonazapam,lamictal,zoloft,ambien and synthroid for a very wacky hypothyroid.
