I had adenomyosis, fibroids, cysts and the beginning stages of endometriosis. I had horrible cramps and bleeding since I was 14. My mom would have to pick me up from school because I would throw up and pass out from the pain. Dealt with it for 33 years before having my hysterectomy. Wish I had mine done sooner. I can not do hormone replacement because I also have a blood clotting disorder. Hugs to you.
Wow that's a lot to go through! I mostly had mild symptoms until I was like 24 then it got debilitating. I couldn't imagine dealing with it so intensely for decades! I'm so fortunate and grateful that I was able to have my hysterectomy earlier rather than later so I could start my recovery and build my life back together instead of losing more time and energy to being that sick. Luckily I was able to keep my ovaries. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I'm happy to hear that you eventually got relief 💜💜💜
