spirit7 replied to PBLady's discussion 'Type 2 and Possible Hysterectomy / Myomectomy'"Hello PBLady, I had a fibroid tumor the size of an egg which for me was causing excessive bleeding and severe anemia. It had to come out! A few questions for you: Are your fibroids causing you issues? Have you sought a second opinion and reviewed…"
fairknowledge replied to PBLady's discussion 'Type 2 and Possible Hysterectomy / Myomectomy'"I had a vaginal hysterectomy in 2003 due to fibroids. I fought it for 2 years trying everything I could to avoid the hysterectomy. Because I have sleep apnea, my surgeon and I agreed that I would have an epidural instead of a general anaesthetic. I…"
Wendy replied to PBLady's discussion 'Type 2 and Possible Hysterectomy / Myomectomy'"I don't have alot of experience with controlling BS, as I am working on that too, but the surgery part I did have. Fibroids on my uterus and had total hysterectomy and am happy to this day that I did. I went through menopause early then, but…"
Whirlygig replied to PBLady's discussion 'Type 2 and Possible Hysterectomy / Myomectomy'"I second checking out hystersisters. That was a great help when I went through it. I know a lot of women over there said they had great results from myomectomy that lasted for 10 or so years. You may reach menopause by then and not have the fibroids…"
smileandnod replied to PBLady's discussion 'Type 2 and Possible Hysterectomy / Myomectomy'"Hi PBLady, have you thought about getting a second opinion on the surgery?
I too have a grapefruit size fibroid and have for many years. I was about your age when they discovered the fibroid. I am 51 and pre-menopausal. Started with hot flashes and…"
Judith replied to PBLady's discussion 'Type 2 and Possible Hysterectomy / Myomectomy'"If you prepare in advance, you can recover from hysterectomy pretty rapidly--do strength-building exercises for your tummy--even just walk a lot, as well as getting your BS in control (it'll be well worth it!). BUT, surgery of any kind can have…"
Peetie replied to PBLady's discussion 'Type 2 and Possible Hysterectomy / Myomectomy'"Hi PB Lady. So sorry to hear you have to go through all this. I've had fibroids but I never required surgery. The fibroids can cause a lot of pain. Hopefully you can get the T2 under control before the surgery. Have you checked out the site…"
PBLady posted a discussionType 2 and Possible Hysterectomy / Myomectomy
Hi, can anyone please give me advice?I have uncontrolled Type 2 and just got word today that I have two fibroids (grapefruit and egg sizes) that must come out. At age 45, I am done with having children (two beautiful ones), but am scared to death that I will not recover well, or go even more hyperglycemic during surgery. On top of it all, I also have a heart stent.Has any ladies in our forum gone through surgery of this type? What was your outcome? :(See More

Now I don't need to worry about running out of lancets anymore...
Posted on April 15, 2012 at 9:12am 5 Comments 0 Likes
There is an online company to get free lancets every month. I like it because I was using my lancets more than once to stretch the box out a while...haa haa, not anymore. They send a box of 100 (I use Bayer microlets) and send reminders too that I'm running low...kewl!!
