WHEN WILL I FEEL BACK TO NORMAL!?
I guess I will be straight forward with this. One night me and my boyfriend spent just one night at a resort and yes we had sex and it started feeling uncomfortable after a little bit and I started having pain in my left back. But it did not stop me. Next day we went banana boating and water skiiing and I felt the pain but it wasn't killing me. After arriving home the next morning I woke up and I felt like I got hit by a bus! I had a fever, and severe abdominal pain. It hurt so much that that night I went to the ER. ALL they did was a urine test that they claimed came back normal. And told me I had a viral infection. Anyways, I started feeling a little better within a couple days but I still didn't feel completely better so I went to my doctors and she told me I had gastritis and I also told her I had pain in my back so she did another urine test and said she thought I could have a kidney infection, so she put me on cipro. well that didn't really do much...however; I got my period which seemed to be normal at first then towards "the end" It was a little brown? but just a little. Then I noticed it was lasting for days on end. and after my period it stopped for a couple of days, but then I bled for a couple of days (really only enough to fill one pad) so that made me nervous so I went back to my doctor who had me do another urine test and it came back with a lot of blood in my urine and white blood cells. She then sent me to the hospital where I got a cat scan done and the results came back with a rather large cyst on my left ovary. Doctor wanted to get a better look at it, so had me go that day to get a pelvic ultra sound. that night after the ultra sound I was in so much pain, I went back to the ER. (im a worry wart!) they took blood tests a urine test and they did a pap smear. They said everything came back normal, and they referred me to an OBGYN I will be seeing on monday, who they said would probably put me on Birth control. Funny thing was that the ER doctor looked at the results and said that they found a couple cysts on my ovaries and then the monday after the saturday I was in the ER my doctor called me and told me the cysts were actually on the right side. Im a little confused by this since, shouldn't they both be telling me the same thing? anyways, I have not had sex in over a month until last night and now today im regretting it. Will someone PLEASE tell me will I ever get my sex life back again? And what are the chances of me not being able to give birth later down the road? (im only 18 im not looking to have kids anytime soon) and can these cysts be making me as moody as I am? I have been getting very stressed out recently and sometimes I just break out into tears crying and saying the same thing "Will I ever be back to the old me again?" Honestly, when!? I want that answer so badly. I used to be sooooooooo active. I would work out alot and now I feel so bummy, and All I want to do is lay around because I know the minute I try to be like the old me is when I regret it because Ill be in so much pain. PLease someone help me. Am I going to be okay? I worry myself so much! I hate it. Ever since last year when I was in the hospital for a month because I got a staph infection in my knee...Anything not normal worries me....So please someone give me some calming advice!! Will I ever feel like the old me again? Will I ever stop feeling so moody? When will I be happy again!?
Also, I might like to add, Is it normal to be always so nauseated, and not wanting to eat? Because thats how I feel. And after I do eat I feel worse, and I feel bloated a lot. is this normal as well?
Cysts can cause all kinds of issues and what you're describing is typical for many women. Take a look at the health pages (top right) for more on types of cysts and symptoms. You need to find out what kind of cysts they are and the size so you can advocate for yourself. Do come back and let us know. Depending on that they may treat with birth control pills but you must insiste on a follow up transvaginal ultrasound every 2 months. If they don't resolve you will likely need laporascopic surgery to remove. You will get your life back and you will go on to have successful pregnancies.
I am going to the OBGYN on monday, what will they reveal to me? And will they do any tests or anything? thank you for responding, it means alot to me.
Hi there,
I've been a sufferer of endometriosis for about 14 years now. I had an episode of excruciating pain as you described about 2 months ago. Having endometriosis, you come to terms with handling the pain but I knew something else was wrong. I went to the ER where they ran tests and scans. They advised me that I had a cyst and should see my specialist.
When I met with my specialist, he informed me that I had 8 cysts totaling about 400 cc of fluid. My ovaries were 3 times the size that they should be. That came as a major shock considering the fact that the ER did not inform me of how serious it was. With cysts, I found that I had very odd side effects like horrible nausea and always having to pee so much. I honestly felt like I was pregnant!!! After some research, I found that these symptoms are "normal".
As for your mood, it is probably the WORSE side effect ever! It's difficult to deal with the fact that you have to take it easy. You need rest even though it *****. I cannot walk my dog anymore, my mother comes over to help me clean up and my boyfriend has to do groceries for me. I've been like this for 2 months now. Funny part is, I'm 23. I'm also on another treatment for endometriosis that puts me into menopause. I some times feel like I'm 50!!! I, also, cannot have sex. It is horrible not only for me but also for my bf. It affects but of us emotionally because I do not feel attractive and feel like he'll go find it somewhere else if I cannot "supply" it.
The only thing I can suggest is to have a good talk with your partner and explain to him how difficult it is. I'm lucky that my bf understands. Also, take time for yourself. You will appreciate the little things in life much more.
Do not start to worry about children. I was told at 17 that I would not have any. For me, children is all I want in my life. Worry about today and ONLY today!!! Let the future be. There are so many exceptions. Science can only go so far.
So keep your head up. Cry all you want!!! Let it out and be at peace with it. If you are emotionally "ok", it's much easier to deal with the physical.
Keep us updated!!!

I hvae been having the same exact thing. I would workout all the time but now I feel almost like I'm depressed. I just got my ultrasound and they said I have multiple hemmoragic cysts. Did you happen to gain any weight? I've gained like 20lbs ...
I have actually been loosing weight from not eating as much. due to the fact im in a lot less pain. OBGYN said it's a 6cm by 6cm cyst, but she believes it is leaking away, which I think so too, im feeling so much better, now I think I have anxiety, thanks to all of this. :( I think I would rather the pain back, rather then this anxiety. Im so moody, and everything scares me, Im afraid of dying, and I try to calm down but I can't. I don't want you guys or anyone to think im going crazy, because I dont think I am...I do think however I am suffering from anxiety, and I just constantly keep begging for the old me back, and im not getting it back...And I fear I never will...:(
Also, hey pres0081, I am happy for you atleast that your boyfriend understands and is supportive. My boyfriend is as well. Sounds to me like you got a keeper too. :) I feel as if my moodyness and everything is pushing him away and Im constantly crying to him and apologizing but he is 100% supportive, he just holds me and tells me im crazy for thinking he would ever leave me. He makes me feel like everything will be okay. He gives me reason to strive to get better. So Good for you having a boyfriend like that...I think every girls wants a guy like that, and we got em :) hah. I just hope the docs can help with this supposed anxiety I think I have
