RE: [RC] Ladies Only - heidi

This is for ladies only- concerning female stuff-


Vicki, if you have that much problem, have you looked into the
possibility that you may have fibroids or some other issue?  The birth
control pill idea is one solution.  I tried to go back on them when I
started to develop problems, and turned out to have an allergic
reaction to the progesterones used in them.  D&C helped for awhile, but
not long.  Hysterectomy solved the problem for good.  

I rode for years with no problems--it was only as I got more middle-aged
that the problems started.  In my younger years, I would never have
missed a ride--but for nearly 5 years, it was bad enough that it kept
me off of horses almost completely.  My biggest regret is not having a
hysterectomy a whole lot sooner.

In any event, I'd recommend a visit to a good OB/GYN and see what their
take on it is...

Heidi
