Fibroid/ Menopause he'll

I'm in the depths of despair here.

I have a medium sized fibroid which is growing outside the uterus and has caused my uterus to expand from the usual 7cm to 10cm. I am in severe pain daily now ( like period pain).

I an post menopausal and haven't really ever got my HRT right. My anxiety has erupted again, causing me no end of issues, including driving my car.

I just just don't know how to keep going any longer. Death seems preferable right now as everything is taking such an inordinate amount of time to sort out!

Gynae has requested bloods as CA125 is raised. Then she wants an MRI of the fibroid done ( weeks away even though urgent ) and she's done a womb biopsy. She has also prescribed norethistone for bleeding issues ( fibroid?) and I am suddenly feeling spaced out and jittery.

I'm still working but so close to getting myself signed off sick. Just feel I'm slowly dying.

Forget to say, I've got a mirena coil for the progesterone part of the HRT.

Scan shows it's in place but could that be contributing to the pain if the uterus is being stretched due to the fibroid?

You might be best putting this on the menopause section x

I'm in a similar boat of peri + HRT + intramural fibroid hell. Been told embolisation is my only hope and temporarily to stop HRT 😳
