Hysterectomy Help W/ Ibs? Migraines? Posted: 08-25-06 17:09pm
I am scheduled for a lavh next month due
to severe adenomyosis, fibroids and a
little endometriosis. (endo just finally
dx'd ~ have had adeno. For years!) I also
suffer from ibs. I've heard that endo can
mimic symptoms of ibs ~ and that after
hyst. That ibs symptoms can greatly
improve. I've had tons of gi test and
they've not said anythhing about
adhesions, scarring from the endo. (all
have been negative and show only ibs.)
also I suffer terribly from menstrual
migraines ~ sometimes lasting up to one
month. I've tried all kinds of remedies
from natural to topomax with no relief.
We are considering taking my ovaries also
so I won't continue to have this flucation
in hormones causing my migraines. Of
course, she might have to take them anyway
due to the endo (i have a call into her
now so we can talk about that part
further). Can't take hormones due to how
they give me severe mood swings. Am on
lexapro now. Very concerned also about
hrt for same reason.
I know this is alot of questions ~ but
very interested in seeing if anyone else
has had a good outcome with these
additional problems.
Thanks!
