1712.	J	Crawley	I almost collapsed at work through anaemia due to my haemorragic fibroids. Even at 47 I had no idea what fibroids were or how common they were. I seldom suffer illnesses & couldn't understand why I couldn't function. I thought I might have a terminal illness & wondered how I would tell my son :0( Now I've been mis-prescribed by a stand-in doctor & I have at least another 6 months of my life which will be debilitatingly frustrating as, with the exception of the anaemia, I am now further from resolving the condition than I was before. Please help make doctors aware that "womens' problems" are not all "in their heads" &, with a little awareness, may be quite straightforward to diagnose & treat.
1711.	F	Twickenham	I believe there could be earlier options to ask questions / check for fibroids, even linked to smear test dates.

1702.	V.C	Brown Edge	Only recently diagnosed with large fibroids. They make my life miserable and the only option seems to be major surgery. It would be wonderful to know what caused them and if I could have done something to avoid getting them in the first place. More research is needed!
