Comments for RA Chicks http://rachicks.com Sun, 29 Apr 2012 22:57:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Where is Niki At? by Rosie http://rachicks.com/where-is-niki-at/#comment-2381 Rosie Sun, 29 Apr 2012 22:57:48 +0000 http://rachicks.com/?p=2852#comment-2381 Niki, I don't post often, so you wont know me but I do have to post today. Your website when I was diagnosed 2 years ago helped me learn and grow as a person with RA. When I needed support, you and "the chicks" were always there forme. You've worked so hard helping others, It time for you to worry about yourself and family. The words "I will try to keep you all posted. I apologize for my absence." There is no apology needed. Is there anything I can do to help you? Thanks Rosie Niki, I don’t post often, so you wont know me but I do have to post today.

I'm sure, we're always here if you need to vent or for support. I starting dealing with a heavy period in 2002, after an emergency, preterm birth of my youngest...I started suffering with low iron, blacked out a time or two because it was too low and then came an RA diagnosis in 2010. My cycle would hit and my energy would go out the window. Battling back pain for 11 years, due to injured discs, as a result of being in 2 car accidents...didn't help. The pain killers, muscle relaxants and b.c. pills helped for a while. I still remember that probe...I too wanted to punch the poor ultrasound technician. Then,they found a small fibroid tumor. I had an Endometrial Ablation in September of last year. I feel soooo much better since having the procedure and wish I'd done it sooner. I pray you have a speedy recovery.

Hope they can come up with a good plan, sorry your having to deal with all this as all.

Did the doctor talk to you about a Mirena IUD? I have had PCOS for years and it was the best thing that ever happened for me and the only thing that really worked!

I had similar issues..battled with infertility (unexplained) for many years. then had truly awful heavy (really does not cover the experience or the humiliation of it happening in public)..took meds..had an ablation then finally a hysterectomy... I am so glad to not have any bleeding at all.. but hey presto hot flushes!! I really really hope they get you sorted and the bleeding to stop and the pain eased... Very best wishes for a speedy recovery x ouch..hear your pain…. isn’t amazing that our bodies think as we cope with rA then why not throw something else horrendous at us…

If it turns out to be a hysterectomy, I felt like a new woman after mine. Amazingly better! Hope you don't have to have one, but if you do, maybe it will do that for you, too.
