As I said on my other blog..

I’ve been quiet lately. Trying to take some things in and deal with them. I went to the gyn on Monday for my test results and to have an ultrasound done of my female parts because I have extremely heavy bleeding and somethings arent right. Well my lab work showed that i’m pre diabetes and I have to start seeing a dietitian to get it under control so I don’t end up with full blown diabetes.. I’m still trying to deal with this and accept it. I really dont have a choice in the matter do I? I have to deal with it and I have to accept it. I go to the dietitian on Friday. The dr said they’d give me a monitor and i’d have to monitor my levels for awhile. I’m so not looking forward to it.  Anyhow the ultrasound showed my uterus is 3x the size it should be and that I have a fibriod. They want to do a hysterectomy but I can’t afford it. My deductible is 5000$ and I don’t have that kind of money right now.  Then ontop of all that.. My eye glasses broke when I took them off at the drs office. I had to go get my eyes checked so I could get new glasses.. I’m so stressed out. I feel emotionally maxed out completely. I don’t even know where to start right now.. I’ll just be glad when Friday is over with because right now I don’t know what to do… The doctor told me to stop weight watchers that it wasn’t a good plan for me. She didnt tell me what a good plan was.. Just told me to stop weight watchers and go see this dietitian she referred me to. So until friday I have no game plan..

    Hey I know I don’t know you but I stumbled across your blog and wanted to remind you to keep your head up! You seem to have a pretty decent attitude with everything that’s going on.

    Hey == just something to keep in mind. You really may not need a hysterectomy. I had like 20 fibroids, several of which were grapefruit sized. Some doctors just see a hysto as the easiest way to go.

    It may be the case, of course, that this is inevitable. But I had surgery and had two kids afterward. Is your doc a reproductive surgeon? Some gynos are.

    I ended up having a hysterectomy during my third kid’s birth, but that was because of placenta previa. It was completely unexpected (by me anyway!) and an emergency thing. I was a little sad about it (not having the choice) but mostly now I am thrilled. No periods!!!

    That is a difficult position for sure. Did she give you any ideas why WW wasn’t a good plan for you? Go to the ADA and look up their food plans- it is wonderful. I can’t recall if you have PCOS, but I do, and it has caused some of the same issues for me (fibroids, heavy bleeding, pre-diab.) and the Diabetic diets HELP that totally!!!

    About the hyster. & other doc stuff. Something will come up and help everything to work out. Try to stay positive!!

They found some fibroids about a year ago but,my insurance ran out and haven’t had any insurance till a few weeks ago so,I’m trying to get my body back in control my husband was in a bad car wreck in march and is no longer able to work. So,I too have alot on my plate. hopefully I won’t have to have any kinds of surgery. just know your in my prayers and pray for the other women thats going through the same thing
