Been where you have been and mine was a cyst explosion on my ovary. They had actually had an ultrasound of the cyst and it was the size of a large egg. Bigger than the ovary. Way so much fun being female.Lynn Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053207260739287519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769048173809484225.post-85618028908358135722009-02-10T06:24:00.000-05:002009-02-10T06:24:00.000-05:00I just don't get it! I have heard McCain say if yo...I just don't get it! I have heard McCain say if you want a "socialist" health care - go to Canada! WTF?? We are so blessed to have a universal health care system here. Those making more then $40,000 pay around $495.00 per year on their income taxes, and employers with a payroll over $400,000 pay 1.95% of their payroll to the health care system. It may not be perfect..but it works quite well. We go to the doctor (whichever one we choose) when we want...hospital when we want...MRI..Cat Scans..Cancer treatment..Heart operations..etc etc are all included. I could not imagine a health care system that could bankrupt a patient. That would be horrible.Any employer that offers extended benefits covers things like dental..glasses..chiropractor.<BR/>I had alot of "women" problems in my 30's..and ended up having to have a hysterectomy (no charge)I could get up in the morning and by afternoon be in for surgery BEFORE my cyst burst on my ovary. Apparently women get a cyst every month and it get flushed away with their cycle. Some don't wash away and cause alot of sudden pain. By the way..my daughter is anemic and she had to go for B12 shots once a week for 2 months to build it back up. (She did not have to pay) Now she has to take 1,000 mg a day of B12 but feels much better...She now has energy. By the way..her periods were like you are describing but she had to go on the pill and it regulated it. So I guess this is more then the comment you thought you might get! Hope it all works out for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8769048173809484225.post-71837569838647027032009-02-10T05:45:00.000-05:002009-02-10T05:45:00.000-05:00Sorry but that lady does not sound like who you ne...Sorry but that lady does not sound like who you need at all. Yes, it is normal to have ONE abnormal period a year...when you go from regular as clockwork to crazy all over the place, this is not normal. You arent old enough to be going through menopause. Truthfully from what you described it sounded to me like an ovarian cyst bursting. They can cause all kinds of problems. I had one once the size of a grapefruit and when it burst it was extremely painful. I had irregular periods and weight gain, etc. A sonagram could show if you have cysts but Im not sure if it will show you if you just HAD one. I'm also conused as to why she tried to push an iud off on you? I had one placed and when they did they stressed the point that it would cause me to have heavier periods and more cramping. Why would you want to make matters worse? Well sorry for the long winded book...but she doesnt sound very sympathetic or knowledgable....Diane Cransachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09163924503318866393noreply@blogger.com
