Honestly ladies you’re not going to believe this!
So after months of heavy bleeding, on hrt, off hrt, scans, ovarian cysts and a think endometrial lining, last Monday I was taken into hospital with what was thoughts to be ovarian cyst pain, I was doubled over and never felt pain like it. After 8 hours in A & E I was admitted. Two bags of saline, 6 bags of IV antibiotics and a CT scan I’m told I have an acute diverticulitis flare my bowel was so swollen that it attached itself to my ovary, cysts on my lungs, a mass on my liver and a possible autoimmune disease, no mention of an ovarian cyst at all.
Ladies I’m completely shocked and numb with this news. I now have to attend an outpatients clinic for further investigation on my lungs, awaiting blood test results for the autoimmune disease, a surgical review for my diverticulitis and an ultrasound on Monday coming to see what the mass on my liver is.
I’m not wanting to scare anyone by posting this, just to let you know that abdominal pain even when you think it might be an ovarian cyst or Gynae issue…it might not be.
I’m not sure what’s around the corner for me all I know I’d that I’m so emotion, tired and very scared at this time.
Apologies for this message, my husband has blinkers on, if it’s not talked about, it’s not happening and I just needed to let it out a little to try and get my head round things.
Take care ladies, look after yourselves and each other. Xxx
