Letters From Clients: Woman's Hysterectomy Scare
I had been having severe menstrual cramps. Sometimes I could avoid the pain by taking a prescription called Anaprox as soon as I felt the wave of cramps coming on. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. When it didn't, which was about four times a year I would become so weak I couldn't stand. I was nauseous and had diarrhea. I would flush white and literally pray for death the pain was so great. I wanted relief-even if it meant leaving this world. I would be taken to the hospital where I received a heavy dose of muscle relaxant. This went on for thirteen years.
My doctor suggested that I consider having a complete hysterectomy. I was only 32 years old and just couldn't see doing that and having to be on hormone replacement therapy for the remainder of my life. I decided to give Dawn Fleetwood a try. I didn't have anything to lose, or rather I did have something to loose and I wanted to keep it.
After about six month of seeing Dawn, I didn't feel the " normal" wave of pain coming on during menstruation. It has been two years now and I haven't had to take an Anaprox or be rushed to the hospital, and best of all NO HYSTERECTOMY.
