| I started my periods 33 years ago and have not stopped suffering since. Extremely heavy, couldn\\\'t leave the house as I bled so heavily and in so much pain. I took Feminax at the time which would knock me out and take some of the pain away. When my children were in nappies, I would wear one during the night as my bleeding was so heavy with huge liver sized clots coming out. I was diagnosed eventually with fibroids about 8-10 years ago and I was sent to see a \\\'specialist\\\' at the hospital. The \\\'man\\\' told me I shouldn\\\'t be having pain with fibroids and dismissed me. I went home in tears and have suffered since. I have just changed doctors and seen a lovely doctor who referred me for a scan, I am basically riddled with fibroids. I am now waiting for treatment but at last something is being done. I kept having time off work as I was in absolute agony, couldn\\\'t walk and had to use the loo every 15 minutes to change and that\\\'s with a huge night time towel plus largest tampon together. More care is needed for women. |

| Women are a main contributor to the running of society at home and in the work place. Why should women have to suffer with these type of problems and carry on regardless. If we didn't the world would grind to a halt. I think it is about time we were given more research and cures into our problems!!! |

| I am waiting surgery and have
only had a brief 5 min
conversation with my
consultant then I have
received to more appointments
with a nurse practitioner who
on the two occasions gave me
conflicting information. I am
in constant pain and
discomfort every single day -
I have had enough - I have
been waiting nearly two years
from diagnosis and still have
not had a date for my
appointment. This is causing
me stress as my company need
to know to get cover for my
job as I have been told I will
be off work for three months.
I am really low and have no
quality of life what so ever! |

| So many women have fibroids
that it will be very
profitable to drug companies
that find a cure or relief
drugs, but i wish much more
research to be funded into the
impact of lifestyle on the
formation of fibroids and
above all research into
PREVENTION by non drug
measures such as diet,
relaxation or uterine massage
for instance, as well as
alternatives like
phytotherapy, acupuncture and
homeopathy.
research on measures women can
take themselves. |

| My sister has fibroids and is 25
weeks pregnant and at risk of having
to deliver baby soon! More research
to be carried out to help pregnant
women to carry on with pregnancy
and not risk early babies |

| There is not enough research being
carried for such a condition that can be
life-limiting and is so prevalence in the
African Carribean community. Having
spoken to specialists it is
disappointing to be told to simply
manage the pain and condition until
after I have had children, after which
more extreme measures can be taken
(hysterectomy) |

| It is totally unacceptable the lack of research! Hysterectomy is not acceptable. It looks like it is not a priority for the NHS the physical and mental health of women afected by this problem. |

| I think more research and money should be placed in helping, supporting and informing woman of all ages of fibroids. |
