Jiggaz31 - Great comment, and I feel the same way. I had a Hyst., and hoped by attending the Hers Conference held a few years ago in Pasadena, Ca.; I would come away with answers and also "hope" on how to get better after all the physical complications I suffered, 'Post-Hysterectomy". I suffer now with many; plus my once great 'sexual drive' with my husband has diminished into 'nothingness'. I was a 'sex kitten' before, and this is what shocks me. The physical is enough to bear with the problems I live with now; plus for me personally, I never should have had a major surgery as this, being I already had a nerve disease called 'Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy'. The GYN knew this; yet he still pushed me into having the Hyst.; yet, he not once suggested alternatives for two small fibroids. I could have even done 'nothing'. I know the surgery caused the nerve disease to even spread further. Doctors do not tell females of the nerves severed, ligaments and tendons cut, and all the other - by having such a huge type of surgery. I cringe whenever I think about this now. My problem was having faith and trust in a long time doctor I had seen. I know now he was just out for a profit and had greed in his heart. He even pushed to have my healthy ovaries out also (did a scare tactic on me with those too), wanted to take out my appendix also, "As long as I am in there, I might as well take your appendix. You don't need it. Then I can take your birthmark off on your labia, so you don't have to deal with that any longer." Well, it never bothered me or my husband. I look back on this now, and he had money and profit only on his mind with me, and it was as if I was a body of products he could ring up and charge for, and he was the 'cash register'. He was trying to ring up all he could to charge me with, and I am so sick whenever I think about this.
But getting back to Jiggaz's comment: I agree. I went to this Hers conference hoping for answers for help in the aftermath of the awful way I felt after my Hyst.; yet, I came away with no further information of helping me physically, basically. I did learn a lot. I was glad to watch the videos at the conference, but I, like others I spoke with at the conference, went there for the same reason; yet, they did not come away with these type of answers we were so searching for.
I am glad that the Hers Foundation does so much. Do not get me wrong here. I commend all who work so hard at the foundation. Truly, I do. I only would hope a part of future conferences could be dedicated to providing information, direction for help, hope, and guidance for we who are disabled and castrated now, and suffering.
My Hyst. has not only affected me, but also my beautiful husband, who still supports me. It has affected my children. Their mother is not the same. They don't understand; however. This is so tough, all the way around.
I was dismayed to read the next comment by Anonymous. I do hope this was not directed to 'Jiggaz31'. That was an awful comment. "Vendetta"? For goodness sakes - she was stating exactly what as I am saying how I felt with leaving the conference I attended, and also how so many others felt who I spoke with who attended the one I did.
She was not stating this in vengence or being vindictive. I think she is owed an apology if this is who you directed this comment to...
We surely want to strive to get the 'H Word' out there to females, and have people read Nora Coffey's and Rick Schweikert's book; plus see the 'play' in video, and the other video provided by Hers. This is to help women before they get the castration done to their bodies, and needless Hysts. done; but, we have to help (just like me) the women who have already had this hideous crime done to our bodies, and what we can do to survive in the aftermath of this. If it is truly 600,000 females per year having this demonic surgery done; we are out there, surely. What about us??? There is no 'hostility' involved with Jiggaz's comments (a meaning for "Vendetta"). Anonymous, if this was directed to her/him; as I said, an apology is in order...
