Hi pepperminty,

I have just read from your link and the interview with john studd present. He said ‘you have to listen to the woman'.

That's exactly what i said to a consultant who listened and asked me questions, and he then said only option for you is full hysterectomy!
I was so happy, i kept telling my husband i feel like my ovaries are poisoning me. All other consulatants were trying to find out what my pain was and gps trying to give me ads for my moods.

5 years i have battled with bad symptoms and looking back have always suffered but has got severe since hitting 40.

I am waiting for my date

Thanks for sharing, I don't know your story but if anything like me good luck

Mazza x
