WOW! I had no idea it could al be intertwined. I'll try to give you the information you asked for. I am 37, 5'5" and about 138 lbs. I take 100 mg synthyroid, and various supplements including iron, calcium, Vit. A and C and E. My thyroid tests normal now, but I wonder if some people's 'normal' is different because my eyes are still way dry, my skin isn't right - like I have a blemish that won't heal and seems to have turned into some kind of growth. I am too tired for my age. I walk regularly. My best time of day is probably afternoon. My only craving would be for Mt.Dew. I have quit and really miss that. Food intoloerances include tomatoes and cantaloupe. I don't care for very spicy food. Menses are fairly regular, but about 10 days long and the last couple of days are horrendous to where I lose about a pint of blood and pretty much need to stay at home. I have no or little pain. No spotting between periods. I don't know of anything that makes the bleeding better or worse. My nails are great with no spots. I was losing hair before the thyroid meds and very exhausted then. I have hazel eyes and wear glasses because I am nearsighted. We are using condoms for contraceptives. I have four children and this condition started after the last one about 7 years ago. Stool is too small, too soft and too often, I wonder if the fibroid(s) are pressing on the colon. Urine seems normal. What I really want to know is whether anything can shrink the fibroids and/or whethere there is anyway to slow/stop the severe bleeding. thanks for your time. Why wouldn't I want to have a partial hysterctomy?
