    Oh Michelle sweetie I am so sorry for what you're going through. Congratulations on your anniversary!

    Good news is you're seeing the consultant and you will get some answers. Isn't there anything you can take for comfort? My goodness you've been off work all this time. If you don't mind me asking, is it due to your fibroid? If so that is much too long for you to be in pain. I'm here to chat if you need it. Hugs to you.

    First off congratulations on your wedding anniversary! I'm glad to hear that you will get some answers on Thursday and hopefully some options. I've been suffering with fibroids for quite some time now, but I'm trying all natural resources before my last resort which would be surgery. I hope you feel better and please keep us updated on your progress.

      Hi. tried the natural route- but i think the main one was just growing too quick.  when i had the USS scsn in october it was grapefruit size.  but has defo grown since then.

      its nice to get a bit of air especially on  a nice day. but take care to not do too much too soon.  we had lunch at our local pub today.  walked so hubby could have a beer.  we popped to sainsbury (which is on the way back).  i really cant walk very fast- a lady stopped at the zebra crossing then revved as i was slow!! Bl**@@y cheek!!!!

      yeah i know, hubby has been nagging me not to do to much. I feel ok and am following the sheet hospital gave me about what i can do when following surgery. Hope you get your UAE date soon, so at least you know the date, sounds like you are in pain, hope you are managing to sleep better, have you tried a pillow in various positions like on your side back - might help. Not been able to sleep is the worst !

      got sent home with paracetamol, ibuprofen and cocodemol. Only took the paracetamol for the 1st week. During the day its more just being uncomfortable and trying to find clothes that don't sit on my stomach, so wearing dresses. During the night, I think i end up with back ache as i sleep on my side but not like normal but in a weird position so wake up then drift off. Hope you get another good nights sleep. I have been reading before bed, makes me really tired !
