As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
The hysterectomy will definitely help with a lot of the fibroid related issues, and on top of that with your irregular periods. I hope the doctors help you out
Thank you.
I’m just worried if they know I still have the occasional half-hearted period they might be less likely to do a hysterectomy. I’ve read so many stories about women being forced to live with terrible womb-related issues because doctors are more concerned with preserving female fertility than improving female quality of life.
I love you, sweetie, and you deserve so much better than all of this
What I do know (only from experience, can’t point to any studies or medical reports) is that fibroids can and do cause infertility. Arguing that you have those combined with a lot of hormonal issues because of your thyroid history might actually be argument enough to get the hysterectomy approved. You may have to be very adamant to get this solution, but I believe in you.
Thanks, love you too.
I will definitely try, no idea how long until I get an appointment though.
I keep my fingers crossed that it won’t take too long
