I will feel like a 17 year old again – Paula’s Story
I am now day 9 post Total Abdominal Hysterectomy, to remove fibroids. I’m 45 years old, and hadn’t expected anything like this to happen to me. I’d never really had any major gynie problems, and I’m not one to go to the doctors unnecessarily, so it all came as a bit of a surprise.
However, over recent years I’d felt like I had something heavy inside me, like being pregnant. I was beginning to worry a I was getting pains and pressure on my other organs, so decided to go to my GP. I’d firstly thought that I may have problems with my ovaries, so my GP referred me for a scan.

Heart Attack Symptoms Women Need to Know
Chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness. Those are the well-known signs of heart attack. But what about the not so obvious signs?
Many women experience heart attacks differently then men, and knowing the subtle differences may one day save your life.
According to Radha Kachhy, MD, a cardiologist with Duke Cardiology of Raleigh, women are less likely to experience the crushing chest pain that some men describe as an elephant sitting on their chest. Instead, they may feel a persistent pain in their back, neck, jaw or even in their shoulder blades.

Digestive System: GERD
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) develops when a muscle at the end of the esophagus does not close properly. In adults, this causes frequent heartburn, also called acid indigestion. When the esophagus is not fully closed, acidic digestive juices can rise up from the stomach. Refluxed stomach acid in the esophagus causes a burning-type pain in the throat, chest, behind the breast bone, and/or in the mid-abdomen.

Fibroids, Hysterectomy and Facing the Fear: Miranda ’ s Story
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the hints, tips, website and personal responses to my emails. I can’t tell you how well supported I have felt throughout what was a very harrowing lead up to my op. You may remember I had fought this op for 3 years and was terrified, so much so I had felt like doing something really stupid. I am 47 and had fibroids the size of cricket balls.
I had my op as planned on 3rd April at 5pm and was back out in Recovery at 7:15pm. My surgeon said the uterus was monstrous and he didn’t know how I had coped with it as long as I had, it was about a foot long, all knobbl...
