So, I thought I'd post what I've found out.
First, had to fire my current doctor. After I did, her office said it would be 2-3 weeks before I could get my records...I already have an appointment this Thursday with someone who was recommended to me...so i bypassed the doctor and got my records from the hospital that did the sonogram and MRI.
So...I not only have fibroids, I have something called adenomyosis. This is not endometriosis, but similar because endometrial tissue somehow gets into the muscular wall of the uterus and grows etc just like endometriosis.
I suspect, based on info and my symptoms, that I've had this since the birth of my last child...and the fibroids have been around only about 6-7 years.
Plus, when they did the sonogram they saw the follicle getting ready to burst open on the right ovary (ovulation) which means I ain't even close to menopause.
So, for now, until I see the doctor, I'm thinking that a hysterectomy is in order. I'm very tired of feeling this way and dealing with this stuff.
