Don't know what to think anymore...

Hi All-

I havent posted in awhile, but I'm Baaaaack! Anywho.. long story short.. I juat got over a stomach bug. 26dayssince. When I was at the ER they did a CT of the pelvis. They found a fibroid and diverticulum. Not sure what thay is..

So I went to see my OB, he did this crazy U/S and yes in fact there is a fibroid. I have had very heavy bleeding during my cycle and they can be very painful. I have been very naeusous as well. So we are going to do an Endometrial Ablation which will allow my bleeding to be minimal. My iron levels were at rock bottom I found out.

I had my last period Jan 2nd of this month and now I am starting to spot today. The last few days I have had headaches, tummy pain and fatigue, but not thinking it was because my period was approaching again, I mean it hasnt even been 3 weeks since my last cycle. I know fibroids can do this and usually do, but I dont know if I am hyper as well. My last lab report came back as ok. I was a little hyper but my levels were going back in the right direction. The last time I had them done, I was really hyper. Now, not so much.

Last night, I was getting these flushes, as if I had a fever but no fever. Lightheaded etc.. Felt like anxiety, which I guess it veryl well could have been. I just feel lost because I feel like I get a grasp on things and then they spin out of control.

Unfortunately you sound like a lot of us women here.....I truly think that are hormones are greatly affected by our thyroid. My question is when will the rest of our hormones fall into place?! Are you perimenopausal too? There are a few of us here going through our changes as well.....probably thyroid induced!! :( :(
How soon before they do the ablation?
The anxiety and flushes can happen with the estrogen fluctuations....I get those with my cycle now. Don't feel lost....they are still figuring out everything and are going to make you new!!  :) :)
Hang in there and see that light at the end of the tunnel....it just means you are one step closer to feeling better!
