    Hi Melanie

    Hope you are feeling better. I too have a

    rather large fibroid. They are pretty horrible

    and that's putting it very mildly.

    Not surprising it causing so much misery and like you, I do get depressed about it. I feel

    like I am7 months pregnant but with no light

    at the end of tunnel.

    What has your doctor suggested, I have been on Esmaya to try and shrink it. After 4 cycles it hasn't worked. But that's just me. And

    everyone is different. I don't know how old you are, I am 47 in may,or what your personal circumstances are, but if you ever want to talk, I am more than happy to listen

    Take care. Lesley

      Lesley, I wish I could express what your post means to me. I have had a rough day. My entire body aches and I am not in a good place. My fibroid feels huge and heavy today. I haven't stopped crying today and the anxiety attacks have been relentless. I work a 10 to 13 hour shift. Still at work. Which makes it worse cause I have to keep it all bottled up. I am falling apart... Thank you for your kind words.

      Hi Melanie, I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I can totally relate as I have good days and bad days and sometimes the bad days are really bad. I find that trying to eat healthy and cutting out sugar helps with the overall mood and anxiety. Hang in there.
