Medical Stuff and me

Back in September I learned that I have Ovarian Cysts.  According to both the Dr's at the ER, and the primary physician that I saw I didn't have much to worry about for ovarian cancer.  It was a huge boulder of stress off my back.

I have scheduled follow up with my Doctor in December, to have my body looked at again and to get another ultrasound.  Part of me feels more relaxed about it because my Sir will be there with me when I go through it again to see what has happened with the cysts.

I wanted to write about this today because as usual today is the day that the pain takes me out of commission. I've spent all day with a heating pad over my midsection, sucking on pain killers.  It is not an easy thing to go through, for anyone at any time.

This is the first day in a while that I have literally sat around and done nothing.  I spent the majority of my day online, bored out of my mind because I didn't want to move.  What was worse was that I didn't want to sleep away the day again and toss my sleep schedule into the air again.  Instead I did a little bit of research, and now I have more informed questions to ask of my doctor when I go for my follow up.

According to 4 of the 5 websites I was looking at (all medical informative sites) having cysts that are not properly functioning, which seems to be me currently- hence all the pain-could be a reason as to why my Sir and I have been having difficulty getting pregnant.  When I saw my primary last time she told me that one of the things that could be done was putting me on birth control.  With my desire to be pregnant paramount, I can't take birth control.  But I did read about a hormone that I can take that will help any follicular cysts rupture and release an egg, which will not only help with reducing the pain from the cysts that I am experiencing now but that can also help me get pregnant.

There are other homeopathics things that are randomly suggested- castor oil, evening primrose oil, eating more dark green leafy vegetables, eating less red meat, blue cohosh, increasing intake of vitamin A C E... there are a lot of options that I can take but I need more information, and I need to talk about this with my Sir, see what he thinks, talk it over with my doctor, and see what we can work together on to help make this situation better.


Is it time for my Sir to be home yet?
