I am doing mental 'cartwheels' right now with knowing you did not go through with a Hysterectomy. Yeah!!! Just don't do it. I would not be writing this, and staying 'on top of it' with you if it was not so important to me. I made a pact, after I had my Hysterectomy. It was this...
I never want to see another woman go through what I went through and now live with. I will do everything in my power to help stop another female from having this done to her. I don't care what women say; in that, they came out "okay" afterwards. I stress that at least 80%, if not more, are not telling the 'whole truth'. Sorry to say this, but women can be afraid to address this issue, and I have heard of women scared to talk about it for fear of not being heard, and husbands and other loved ones question what and why there is a problem (on top of the GYN who did it), and must be 'in their mind', and seems that all 'looks okay', but truly, Terri, it is not...
Perhaps the greatest point I could make with you is this: Do you want to take a chance on this, when there is NO GOING BACK? But also, you are already dealing with other health issues. Why add onto this? Now, I am so sorry you are dealing with other complications, but I am in the 'same boat' as you. I suffer with a serious disease/syndrome called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. It is a hideous disease and spreads. I was so angry to find out that the OB/GYN, who told me I must have a Hyst., did not tell me of the alternatives I had available due to fibroids, and he should never have done a Hyst. surgery on me in the first place, due to my nerve disease, and taking a chance (which is just what happened) of further complicating my disease by doing the Hyst., and damaging my body even more so. I even could have done nothing with the fibroids, and let nature 'take its own course'. He never told me that either. My point being, with myself, is that; this doctor, who I put my full faith into, did not even consider my disease, and what could happen and did, and I now suffer even more so with hideous complications in the aftermath of this Hysterectomy with more symptoms and complications due to having the Hyst.. If you are already dealing with something of such priority, you suffer; do not add to your fight. You sound as if you are a strong woman. Well, keep your strength in your mind, and do not have a Hyst. - not when there are alternatives. Plus, remember... you may not need to do anything at all, but let 'nature' take its course, and ride it out; and in the long run, you and your body will be thankful... Terri, my dear comrade, I wish you the best. Trust me - I am right. You are being 'objective', and this is great, but again - there is NO GOING BACK. Terri, you have no idea of how I wish I would have heard/read just what I am saying here... (I am crying right now. It has changed my life.) I want to save you, and wish I would have been saved, myself. So does my husband, and family. They know what pain I am in now.
Please heed my coments. I care about other females so much; as I said, and I am on this mission to stop this from happening to even one more female. Terri, your other health issues are huge. Good luck with these, and blessings to you. Just please, oh please, listen to me...
