Esmya - Ulipristal pre-operative treatment
Posted , 3 users are following.
I started on this medication today, I am 31 with a fibroid the size of a lime. My gynocologist asked me to take this med but said that it would need to be the GP who prescribes it, my GP was refusing to prescribe it until I made a conpliant, he then apologied, agrred to prescibe and said he was under a tight budget. Will keep you up to date on how I get on with this. Any questions or comments about you experience would be great.

I got my second round of esmya this week and my GP when he gave me the prescription, touched my arm as if to 'pull my leg' and said this is costing a fortune £340 and my reply was, just think of the relief I'm going to get! £4 a day is what that works out at .... anyway I don't care about the cost, I've suffered during my cycle for 33 years and saved them loads of money by not having the wherewithall to make a fuss and insist on investigations to find out what was wrong with me - I just thought it was normal to suffer pain! There should be more gynae research to prevent women reaching a stage where they need medication and operations in my opinion. If it was men suffering it would be a different story.
So, good luck Rebecca and hope it works for you. My fibroids did shrink but not sure by how much - after 4 to 6 weeks of finishing my first round I've asked for the second (and unfortunately last round) because once going back on progesterone only pill my bits and pieces started to complain again and my endometriosis has spread too and now my right ovary is starting to play up as well as the already damaged left one. The GP said he's had to request surgery for me so that he could put the prescription through so it's onto the next stage for me - praying for more shrinkage and this time lots of shrinkage to make life a lot easier for surgery.
Keep hopeful, some women have great results and it saves them from surgery. If I didn't have endometriosis as well as adhesions I think esmya would have been fantastic for me.
Still, it varies from woman to woman, but again good luck
