Okay, ditch what I said earlier about little pain and light flow. Today is an exception. Pain rivals a good month -- Aleve isn't quite doing it -- and I've never seen flow like this. The flow is seriously impressive. If it didn't hurt, my reaction would be COOL! because I get like that with gross icky things.

I think my body is reminding me that it is boss, that resistance is futile, and that there is no escape.

One of those days when wings don't cut it, eh? Been there, glad I'm not there anymore, sorry you're there still!!!

Wings would just channel stuff around ;-)

If I can scrape together the money, I may just go for the hysterectomy. We'll see.

evergrey is threatening the same thing. and although I can understand the sentiment, I heavily advise against having any un-necessary surgeries. I gave two sons up for adoption 19 and 16 years ago. The first one was born C-section which caused severe nerve damage. The was a quarter size area on my stomach that had no sensation at all (not even the sensation of numbness) that you could stick a needle into and I would not have felt it. This was right above the pubic bone to the left side. The entire area affected by numbness is closer to the size of a large grapefruit and affects nerves extending from my stomach down through the left hip and the left vaginal wall. This has as you can imagine caused me sexual problems that I didn't identify for years, I just thought I was hard to please ;-p. So please, please, please, consider surgery as a last resort. They could end up taking out more than you intended.
I had very heavy flow back in January, short cycle (25 days) and bled for 10 days. But the doc's just said it can happen occasionally (I went in for a pelvic while bleeding still, it was strange to say the least). I would only consider surgery if it happened something like every month for a year!

Yeah, I definitely don't LIKE the idea of surgery. However, in the last thirty days I have had six good ones. Of the other twenty-four some were so bad I didn't sleep. I'll take surgery over that if I have to. Fortunately I know there are other things to try first. I'm crossing my fingers that one or more of them works.

I have been working with a channeler/healer for about 15 years, known her much longer, named Lois Crane. She's helped me when the doctors couldn't tell me anything. Let me know if your desperate enough to try her.
