| There is not enough support,not
enough recognition, not enough
understanding of the suffering,
pain and total lifestyle change
you have to make. I\'ve been
told that I\'m depressed when
I\'ve been extremely anemia.
I\'ve been dismissed and told
that womans bodies just go
crazy sometimes! |

| 1st case I had was in 2008 but at the time A&E convinced me it was IBS and sent me home advising I take paracetamol. Looking back I know what it was now as I had a worse experience this 03/16 and found I have loads of fibroids with the largest being 12 x 11cm along with an enlarged womb as a result. I felt under pressure to convince the NHS I felt better when admitted in order to be discharged from their care to avoid a hysterectomy (NHS genuinely provided great care by the way!)I was fortunate enough to go privately instead and have learned far more about my condition and options (private care provides the luxury of time with medical staff). My point is whilst in hospital for that week I was shocked by the volume of women in our boat and having hysterectomies daily of all ages and persuasions!!! I am proud of our NHS and fully support them but more research is definitely needed. |

| We need more research into this
area. Words cannot express the
excruciating pain,loss of
blood,the need of a blood
transfusion and copious amounts
of medicine I have been taking
to control the symptoms. We
need more detailed research
into this condition. |

| I'm a tax contributing
fulltime worker, looking at
repeated absences and a
potential 6-8wk recovery time
worst case scenario on a
hysterectomy. Add to that the
hospital etc costs of such an
extreme treatment. The costs
of research for better
diagnosis and earlier less
invasive treatment would pay
for themselves in the medium
to long term. |

| I want to know whether I could have
avoided getting fibroids when I was
younger. |

| I have suffered from
fibroids for 15 months;
first taking esyema but now
referred to local hospital
and waiting for second
appointment; in the
meantime, I am told by my
doctor that i look about 5
months pregnant but
thankfully apart from a
hideously bloated stomach
there are no other problems
so far |

| Millions of women are suffering
with fibroid, but still the
only answer is a hysterectomy,
surely in this day and age we
can come up with an
alternative.Also lets look at
progressing Esyma so this can
become a viable long term
solution. |

| Yes this definitely an area that needs
more research. Many women are
suffering and need specialist help
and support to overcome this
condition. |
