My daughter, 28 years old has fibroid tumors. I feel numb. At 26 I had a hysterectomy because of endometreosis and fibroid tumors. God please don't let her follow my path, please....

oh, Joni, Joni, Joni.......
If she has.......it won't be your fault, try not blame yourself for it. Okay? I've been in both your shoes......but it beats having ME/CFS, or any other dreadful illness. Right?
She will be in my daily prayers, and hope that her tumors will resolve itself without needing surgery.
AT the same time, please don't add more emotional stress to yourself. You need to be well in order to take care of her. Give me a holler, wheneve ryou need me.

Thank you Kit. You're a true sweetheart. The fibroids were the first thing that popped up with me, then my appendix, then gallbladder and now autoimmune. I just pray to God they can give her something to disolve them and that will be that. I have to think positive because that's my only baby. And you knwo Kit, it doesn't matter what age they are, they are still babies to Mom.

Joni,
I have (had) endometreosis. Many years ago, I was reading an artile on PMS and there was one sentence that said the herb Vitex turns into progesterone. Those words leaped off the page. I know the Lord was leading me to get that herb. Ps 104:14 says that the herb is for the service of man. And Genises calls it our "food". So when the gynecologist did the histerectomy last Dec., she said I looked and looked and couldn't find any endo anywhere. When they sent the uterus off to the lab, they did find microscopic endometrial tissue. WOW! what medicine does man have that can do that? My family dr. was amazed.
I took 2 or 3 daily for years. I think close to 8 years now. And I'm still taking it. I will quit when I go into menopause. If her cycles get too close together, then she would be taking too much. But one thing to consider, you shouldn't take it with birth control because it lessens the effect of the pill.

hopes this helps.
