1249.	J.H	Plymouth	I feel that this is an area that is often overlooked and women left to suffer horrendous sysmptoms until Fibroids worsen!
1248.	C.T	Swindon	The pain and complications of Fibroids affect thousands of women of all ages. This suffering and disruption to their lives must be addressed. Much more research needs to be undertaken to find out what causes Fibroids, and serious advances made into developing new treatments. We need Governments in the EU to pledge funding for Uterine Fibroid Research and Education. A situation that was addressed in the USA in June 2005 with a Act making fibroid funding compulsory.

1245.	E.J	London	I agree that as a very common problem which is not well understood, research into fibroids ust be prioritised. I had to have a hysterectomy due to very large fibroids which caused extreme pain each month. This treatment was drastic and has led to severe chronic post-op pain and disability one year on. I am adding my name here because I wish other women to be prevented from the horrific complications of radical surgery for this common condition.

1243.	K.N	Rainham essex	This needs research, i have only been offered hysterectomy, nobody wants to do anything else. I do not accept this .
1242.	S.P	London	I currently suffer with fibroids that were so painful they thought I had appendicitis. I am going to consultations to find out the best route to take but it's rather scary and there is no sympathy. I am constantly told it's a condition that affects women esp Afro/Caribbean women so get used to it. It's difficult because it's something I could possibly live with as it's not a life/death situation but to be shirked off and told to go do my own research is a little disheartening.

1240.	C	London	How can we prevent, cure , help ourselves and NOT line the pockets of surgeons - there has to be a better way!
