Hi I am Debbee and I suffer with Fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed in 2004 but was undiagnosed for the many years prior with sever back, arm and leg pain... Migraines, depression, pain, bleeding, days in bed, a fallen uterus, a sagging bladder, crying, despair, exhaustion, insomnia and sever gastric problem
I was not until I went to the Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara, California that I was diagnosed. That was a major turning point in my life. Along with the pain I had been suffering, I was dealing with sever menstrual bleeding that lasted for 21 days of my 28 day cycle along with a fallen uterus. I visited every doctor in my northern Los Angeles County area and was left feeling hopeless. No one could tell me what was going on with my body.
Upon completing a comprehensive physical, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The female problem was still a mystery. I was referred to specialists in the fields of gynecology and rheumatology. For my female issued I was finally offered what was to be the only solution to the bleeding: a total hysterectomy. I know it sound drastic but after having the sever bleeding for over 18 months I was ready to be done with the whole 'period" thing. Since my husband and I had already decided to not have any more kids and had made to official by my husband getting fixed, the issue of future pregnancies was a non-issue. I was 37, married with a 15 year old son and I was ready to move on. Next was to see what I to do about this ailment I was diagnosed with. So begins my journey to become well.
