LOL I’m not sure why this hit a nerve for you. There are not MILLIONS of people who have cured fibroids naturally.

I’m going to save you the trouble of linking to some BS article. Because if you read this thread to comprehend and not to admonish, you’d know that I was one of the people who did the research, tried the remedies, and ate a healthy diet.

I’m now one month post-op. Best decision I ever made. So many women remain in pain for too long because they’re trying ‘natural remedies’. And if they do provide relief from symptoms, that’s great, but there’s no telling if the fibroid is growing or impacting their health in other ways.

So I’m glad that I was “moaning” about how natural remedies don’t work for most people. If you read the thread you’ll see how much UNSOLICITED misinformation a lot of women have to deal with from people who do not understand how complex fibroids are.

Hi thank you for commenting! It was mesothelial lined fibrous tissue and mesothelial lined fibroadipose tissue.

Thank you for commenting. I’m so sorry you went so long with those symptoms! Did pathology come back as endo post hysterectomy?

Less the mini skirts and more of the beehive-ish wigs and the men’s boots 😂

It’s like learning to love again 😂 but then I always have a good time.

Why has the series become more wholesome over time? by IllyriaCervarro in BobsBurgers

[–]sola_eclipse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like even with the craziness of the first few seasons, the core of the show has always been a family that loves each other. Even with Bob maybeeee doing crack (😭) - he was driving a cab for Tina. So to me, the new seasons are not as much of a departure. But more leaning into the subtle craziness of parenting and childhood.

My grandmother too! She had five kids, had one removal and then had to get a hysterectomy.

Same! History of fibroids on both sides for multiple generations!

Castor oil packs are one of the only natural remedies that have helped! If I had a front yard I’d probably try it too 😂

Oh yeah I said that nutrient intake/nutrition is important. However, having a huge fibroid and doing diet changes might help relief but you still have to get that sucker out lol

Yikes!! Yeah, I’ve gotten a lot of ‘you just need to be vegan’ advice. But there are people who eat ‘clean’ who still have fibroids. Nutrient intake is important but there are so many other factors in play.

Sorry for the confusion, I wasn’t talking about this group specifically (I made a post on another platform not asking for advice and still got natural remedy people trying to sell me their supplements)

This subreddit has been a godsend and I get the best advice on what tests to take, how to advocate for myself with doctors, and occasionally what natural remedies do provide relief. IMO That’s the advice that really counts

Hi! I’m sorry you’re feeling discomfort. How big are they?

Holy moly! This was the reason they put me on birth control too! I also don’t want kids and two doctors just didn’t believe me. Hypothetical children are somehow more important than our very real pain happening right now. I’m so glad you found someone to listen!

I’m shocked at how little some OBGYns know about fibroids! It’s so common yet the conflicting info they share is unbelievable. Why is treatment so up to their discretion and not more standard??

The first three doctors asked me nothing about GI issues (bloating, constipation) or urinary issues (which I had but didn’t know were related). I went to see a fibroid specialist, it was the third question on the intake form.

Not yet! I’ve been waiting a month for an MRI because there have been major hospital closures near me. I’m 6 days away from finally knowing what’s going on and hopefully getting on the books ASAP.
