2301.	A.O	Sheffield	Fibroids can make women house bound a few days every 3-4 weeks (due to varying female cycles) The blood loss is so severe it can cause Anaemia - which is then another disorder that then has to be treated in itself! Gynaecologist’s will not help until they reach 5cm’s, they just send you away like you are exaggerating the symptoms - by 5cm’s it’s been years of pain & impossibley ridiculous bleeding - please help I can not work due to this causing me Anxiety, pain, upset, bed rest etc etc etc
2300.	K.D	Uttoxeter	I had a 5cm Fibriod my GP was great and so was my consultant even though I waited over a year for my Operation I was told by my GP in April 2016 I had a fibriod I had my first appiontment at hospital 10th May 2016 I had my Lap Myo on 10th May 2017. I glad to say my life is back to normal but I strongly belive there needs to be more reseach and people need to be more aware of Fibriods
2299.	C.C	Ely	It's taken nearly four years to be diagnosed with fibroids. I have had my symptoms continually dismissed by my doctor and only by pure chance of seeing a locum doctor did I get referred for a scan or blood test. Heavy bleeding needs to be taken seriously as it has had a huge effect on my quality of life. Being fobbed off with the only options of the pill or coil without any investigation Is generalising women's problems and putting them at huge risk.

2295.	L.M	Bexhill-On-Sea	Had my symptoms not been dismissed by gp for 3yrs, open Myomectomy could have been avoided. Millions of women suffering all around the world. Pls help!
2294.	D.S	Tipton	After a year of hell, before which i had never heard of fibroids, I am having a hysterectomy on 5th Jan 2018. Please help to get research for fibroids so women are not suffering, had I been a dog they would’ve put me down.

2289.	K.C	Lampeter	I have PCOS and now just been diagnosed with a large fibroid in my womb causing heavy and prolonged periods. So I have a conflicting problem as PCOS usually presents with absent periods but the fibroids are causing too much blood loss. I bleed everyday or every month with no break, stemming from spotting/light to heavy clotting. I am currently very anaemic and because I cannot have a blood transfusion due to other complications so I am on a "slow go" iron tablets solution. Please can more funds be pumped into research for this condition. I have a daughter who is likely to also experience fibroids. They are painful, they really limit my activities due to blood loss and I just want my life back. I really do not want my daughter to have to live the same way as I currently do. Please help!

2286.	T.T	London	Fibroids are not a complicated health matter as other diseases of our age so we need to study it fully to prevent unneccessary suffering of women.
2285.	T	Leicester	Definitely need more research, information and action on this. My fibroids were discovered 3yrs ago and make my life a misery (so far this month I've bled heavily for 15 out of 22 days!!). I've eventually been refered to gynae but it's been a battle and I've still to convince them to do something about them in as non-invasive a manner as possible.
2284.	E	London	Better awareness and education on this common and oftentimes debilitation condition is long overdue! Sufferers have made \"mistakes\" with (bad) treatments others muddle through mostly living with the pain and discomfort. We desperately need research so that we can find the cause and eventually the cure!
2283.	C.B	Harrow	In full support of lobbying for further fibroid research and support for women battling in silence.
