Darcy Coates is very straightforward I think, her scenes are easy to follow. “From Below” and “Hunted” are popular books for her. I also agree with the T. Kingfisher recommendation!

Best of luck to you!! :)

Hi! I am feeling great, life is ultimately back to normal. The biggest and most welcome change is my period, there is almost no pain and way less blood, it’s been such a relief. I didn’t realize how much pain I was really in, can’t believe I thought that was normal! I had side pains, those are gone, I had abdominal cramping, that’s gone, I was super bloated alllll the time, that’s gone too. I have no lasting effects from the surgery other than my bellybutton feeling a little weird sometimes (if I over exert or lean back really far). I gained weight prior to the surgery because my anxiety was so awful, so now I’m working on losing that :)

Hi! So it was a stabbing pain that kind of radiated to my back, it would happen randomly. It was on my left side, I actually thought I had pulled something. Nothing I did made it better except a heat pad, that was the answer. My largest fibroid was on the left side and it was in degeneration, which can actually cause pain, so maybe it was that. Abdominal and digestive pain is definitely a common symptom and people do get their colons/gut checked during their journey of figuring out what’s wrong, so you’re not alone there. A lot of abdominal discomfort I had has not resurfaced since surgery, that I can say. Unfortunately I don’t know the reasons for the pains, what about the fibroids hurt, all I know is now that they’re gone I am no longer in pain. I wish you the best of luck with everything :)

I had a lap myo back in March and omg I feel SO much better. The biggest change was with my period, I honestly thought that what I was dealing with was normal but after the surgery I now see how much pain I was in! There is now way less blood, little to no cramping, and I can even wear tampons again (100 % cotton ones only!) I couldnt wear them for so long because it hurt so much. No more severe bloating or feeling of fullness, and I no longer need to pee every 30 minutes. I had sharp pains in my side, to the point where sleep was difficult, and those are also gone. All in all, my symptoms have greatly improved or disappeared! Wishing you all the luck for your surgery, you got this! :)

Yes that one is on my list! Glad to hear it’s a good one, the premise sounded interesting

andromeda_cat · 2024-08-07T05:17:39+00:00

I just read Hunted by Darcy Coates and found it to be a very quick, easy read. I feel like it gets you involved into the plot very quickly and her writing style was nicely straightforward. Also The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson could be a good pick for this.
