Wednesday...sigh

I am told today is Wednesday.  I thought all morning it was Tuesday.  So I guess I have to go with the majority on this one.  The calendar says Wednesday too.

I am so glad tomorrow is April.  I am ready for it!!!


I was in MGH all Saturday night with a battery of tests to learn I have an ovarian cyst.  It hurts way worse than any of the surgery i recently had.  So, I was wondering what I need to do to get rid of it and when the pain goes away.

Anyone out there deal with these?  My deepest sympathy!!!  They hurt bad!!!


Huge hugz,

Tracy,
I am so sorry you are going through this cyst after all you have been through recently. I will lift you up in prayer and ask God to help you iwth the pain. I have not personally had a cyst but my sister did last year. She had an oophorectomy and two months later a hysterectomy. She suffered up until they did all of that but feels much better now. Please keep us informed of how you are doing.

I thought it was tuesday as well. I am having some memory issues that just wont go away grrrr. I will be so glad when the week is over and we get to celebrate Easter. What a glorious day!

Have a wonderful day tomorrow and take care!

HE IS RISEN!!!

Tracy,

I had my first ovarian cist when I was about 20. They were drained...twice. They do it laprascopically (two 1/2" incisions..one at belly button, one at pelvis line). 18 YEARS later I was diagnosed with polycistic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). That was when I was also tested & diagnosed with insulin resistance (one of the symptoms of PCOS). I learned too that PCOS ws the cause for the hairs on my chinny *****hin. Now, my ovaries are shrunk up so much that they couldn't even tell the last time I had a scan if I still had cists or not. They also quit functioning since then. Nope. The hairs didn't go away. lol.

Some gyn's will drain the cists...but I've also had (idiotic) ones that told me that they don't do anything with them until they are the size of a football. Wrong answer! I personally would get in to see my gyn asap cause as you said, they are very painful....and the outpatient lap is well worth the day off of work.

ps...PCOS is most common among women who had been overweight. Chalk another one up to obesity...huh?

PAIN!! Mine would rupture and I thought I was giving birth!!! Finally had my hysterectmy when I was 27... Still dont miss it!!! Hope you get along ok.. Yep I remember the pain... Little worse than a cortazone shot in the heel!!

Once again, you ladies inspire me.  I am getting better now.  She said it should get better thru  my next cycle.... I was thinkin... I dont want a next cycle.  LOL  But if it makes the cyst go away... bring it on!  LOL


Sherri, both of my older daughters have PCOS and sadly I don't know alot about it.  I do know it has kept them both from concieving at this point.  So, two years after they were married and still no sight of grandbabies!!!  Makes me sad... but I am keeping the faith.   I have two other kiddos to grow up and get me some grandbabies just in case these two can't.  :)   I am a bit impatient!

Well, I am gonna read up on these silly cysts and educate myself.  Sherri, i had no idea they could drain them!  Problem being... I HAVE NO BELLY BUTTON NOW!  HEHE....

Hugz to you all,
Tracy

tracy, have faith! my best frind had PCOS, brought on by obesity though,She lost about 30lbs and just concieved her first baby. She was told 4 years ago that she would never concieve. My SIL also has PCOS and has concieved through medical help of clomid 2 beautiful babies!

good luck with your pain, i too will have you, and your family in my prayers!
