I have suffered from fibroids for three years now but only recently this year got diagnosed with uterine fibroids even though they think one burst two years ago but did not do further tests to confirm that theory, even though looking back on it now I do agree with them on what happened. (For I didn't at the time)
I have an Apt. coming up in June to discuss the options on what to do about the Uterine Fibroids, of course I am not family - complete because of my age so I do not want to risk a treatment that could prevent my able of completing a family. Right now that is not too much of a worry, my mane concern is because of the size and location of the fibroids, I am suffering from extreme discomfort and pain and I fear this is causing a result of depression. Because of the size of the cysts, they are causing the Uterus to expand of almost four months pregnancy; which causes my legs to feel like I am holding a lot of pressure and creates sharp tingling pain if I stand for too long. Of course this prevents me from participating in too many activities and simple things like enjoying a day in the park with my siblings. The pain stretches from my lower back and abdomen to all the way down my legs to my feet.
I'm not sure how much longer I can last having to pretend these symptoms aren't effecting my mental health, I become grouchy to the ones I love and fear that their feelings and need's are not met in the process! Which then results in more anger, discomfort, and sleep deprivation because I cannot have a simple conversation with anyone without being in discomfort and get frustrated for not being able to remember let alone form a simple sentence!? I cannot take anymore pain Killers or other medication; my poor liver must be screaming by now! I just don't know what to do anymore? I don't want to be so un-happy and crippled when I have so much I want to/ and could be enjoying!?
What do I do?
