My girlfriend has fibroids. What to do?


Question:
She is scheduled for a hysterectomy in November. Between now, and then I don’t know if I can hold out. She complains of pain daily. When she is in pain she lashes out at me (screams and hits things).

We have been living together for over three years. She has been verbally abusive, and demonstrating a great deal of road rage. This abusive temper comes and goes. Sometimes I don’t see it for 6 months, then suddenly it returns. It increased say three-fold since about May. I am at my wits end. My health has turned bad since about May. My blood pressure, is averaging is 180/100. Normal for me is about 130/70. Recently I get bad heart-burn from eating spicy food, have been suffering from diarrhea, indigestion, insomnia, ear infections., bleeding from my ear. Until recenlty, I was in very excellent health! Now I see a doctor almost every week!

Is my health due to her hot temper?
Will this end after her hysterectomy?

Answers:
Everyone is different, but I had fibroids and never acted like that before my hysterectomy. It's possible she reacts differently to pain - I know it can get old, and hormones may be coming into play. Urge her to discuss it with her gyn. or see if she can get some counseling to help her cope with it.

As far as your symptoms, it sounds like a reaction to the stress. What does your doctor say about it? You might try taking a few minutes each day to thoroughly relax yourself in whatever way that works. It's hard on the body to be stressed so much all the time.

Good luck with all of this, and hopefully when the hysterectomy is done, things will improve with your girlfrined. You still need to work on your stress-reaction and see if you can find a better way to relieve it.
