Thank you, Pat! I'm being fitted for a pessary tomorrow. I feel so "not me" with this bulge feeling, bowel problems, etc. I have been put through two colonoscopies, tons of rectal examinations, and still a defecography. My gut said "hernia or prolapse" but the GI docs kept saying colitis (wasn't), internal hems (wasn't), etc. My gyno last week identified the cystocele and rectocele. She is the one fitting me tomorrow. I am under extreme pressure because I will lose my health insurance in 3 weeks when I move to Florida...I have already quit my job and am just "hanging around" trying to get answers. I'm just hoping the pessary will get me by until I have health insurance again in Florida. I am of the mindset that there is a problem and I want it fixed! I'm a big exerciser, walking, running, weights, and this has made me feel so unlike myself. I feel gross. I'm also supposed to start nursing school next year. At 41, I am starting over after divorce and losing everything. This is my NEW SHOT with someone I have known my entire life...and now my insides are falling out. I just want to know I can find relief and move and survive another six months or year before I have the safety net of insurance again. I have had three BIG BOY BABIES all older now...I have been a barista, legal assistant, accounting administrator...very active....just want to be normal again.
