917.	M.R	Lancashire	I think more time needs to be spent looking into fibroids, which affects so many lifes..and costs so much , time off work, medication, operations...for something that hopefull in future we will know more about.
916.	P	Welwyn Garden City	This disease has been around for years. Its about time there was more research done to help thousands of women still suffering from it.
915.	B.J	Edgware	It is outrageous that the real cause of fibroids is yet unknown and that surgery is the ultimate option for most women. There needs to be more research into this condition, so that a permanant cure and a means of preventing fibroids can be discovered....hopefully in our generation.
914.	B.H	Neasden	I have fibroid which affecting my quality of life but do not really want to go down the route of surgery, so more research would be good to avoid surgery.
913.	A.F	Highworth	Having suffered from heavy periods for some years I have recently been diagnosed as having several fibroids. Life has been extremely difficult for the past three months as fibroids affect every part of your life, and I am now virtually housebound due to heavy bleeding. If I hadn't burst into tears in my Dr's surgery (a woman!) I would have been waiting a further three months to see a consultant, instead I have been fastracked with a three week wait. And it would appear from reading the other comments I am one of the lucky ones. Barbaric.

908.	F.S	Birmingham	I am 47 and just had a uae. the consultant was great but it took years to get a diagnosis. my gp always said it was my age! suffered heavy periods and anemia for years, as a result my fibroid was 9 inches. women should be taken seriously about this, not dismissed.
907.	M.R	Barnsley	Having fibroids reduced my chances having a baby by IVF as I had to be put on long waiting list to have them removed before attempting IVF.
906.	W.W	Gourdon
905.	S.G	Stafford	If just found out i have them a very large one i have been sent away with no info just been told to wait to see someone their is not enough help out their their need to be more
904.	E.H	Cambridge	People find this condition funny but do not realise how painful it is
903.	M.A.S	Twickenham

901.	M.W	London	I have fibroids and feel almost abandoned by the medical profession. It\'s treated so insignificantly, almost as a non-problem but there are so many physical/mental problems that go along with it. I am currently fighting to get my fibroids removed but, as a 37 year old women eho hasn\'t started a family yet, this is proving very difficult
900.	J.H	Fairfield Road	Not enough nutritional and lifestyle information is offered. I have had to seek out alternative practioners myself to avoid the option of hysterectomy. Stress is one of the greatest contributors to the growth of Fibroids due to the release of cortisol, GPs do not tell you this....
