1580.	K.L	CARDIFF	I am waiting surgery and have only had a brief 5 min conversation with my consultant then I have received to more appointments with a nurse practitioner who on the two occasions gave me conflicting information. I am in constant pain and discomfort every single day - I have had enough - I have been waiting nearly two years from diagnosis and still have not had a date for my appointment. This is causing me stress as my company need to know to get cover for my job as I have been told I will be off work for three months. I am really low and have no quality of life what so ever!
1579.	E.P	London	So many women have fibroids that it will be very profitable to drug companies that find a cure or relief drugs, but i wish much more research to be funded into the impact of lifestyle on the formation of fibroids and above all research into PREVENTION by non drug measures such as diet, relaxation or uterine massage for instance, as well as alternatives like phytotherapy, acupuncture and homeopathy. research on measures women can take themselves.
1578.	K.R	Colwyn Bay	My sister has fibroids and is 25 weeks pregnant and at risk of having to deliver baby soon! More research to be carried out to help pregnant women to carry on with pregnancy and not risk early babies
1577.	D.C	Penn
1576.	D.W	Birmingham	There is not enough research being carried for such a condition that can be life-limiting and is so prevalence in the African Carribean community. Having spoken to specialists it is disappointing to be told to simply manage the pain and condition until after I have had children, after which more extreme measures can be taken (hysterectomy)
1575.	I.G	Esher	It is totally unacceptable the lack of research! Hysterectomy is not acceptable. It looks like it is not a priority for the NHS the physical and mental health of women afected by this problem.
1574.	N.W	Rugby, Warwickshire
1573.	D	Edinburgh	I think more research and money should be placed in helping, supporting and informing woman of all ages of fibroids.

1566.	K.R	Ripley	In my opion doctors dont really see fibroids as a big thing , they say oh no it wont be the fibroids causing you pain its IBS ,Even when diagnosed with three fibroids one measuring 4.5 cms and 2 at 2cms they havent given me any help . I pushed to see a specialist who only offed a full hysterectomy , im 45 and am unsure what to do ,no other treatments have been offered and no information from my gp
