a dog up the road hated my 3/4 ton truck; turned out it was because he had been hit by an almost identical truck a few years before.

With all of my cats I have ended up
having to put them down because of pain and discomfort issues - was always scared I would be in your shoes at one point, and still may be - have 2 more now. I never could figure out which would be worst - making the decision or waiting. Hope it is the best it can be for both of you.
I ended up havng both
I first asked for a hysterectomy when I was 39 because of the suffering, but was told no due to my age.
Fast forward to age 43. I started missing a day of work every 17 days. Decided to have the NovaSure ablation. At first it was great. No products to buy! No missing work! But I still knew I was having a period because I would get emotional...not to the degree as before the procedure, but still depressed and irritable about every 17 days, plus I did continue to have low back pain and a bit of cramps. Over the next couple of years, I would spot on occasion.
At the end of the 2nd year, I started having extreme abdominal pain. Everyone thought it was GI related - irritable bowel syndrome. Nothing worked and finally the doctors stopped believing I was actually in pain...pain to the point I almost had to go on welfare because I couldn't work.
On my 3rd ER visit due to pain shooting down my legs from my pelvis, the ER doctor gave me a Medrol Dosepak, diagnosed me with neuropathy and referred me to a neurologist. The steroids reversed the ablation and I had the worst period I've ever experienced. Lesson here is never take steroids if you get the ablation. It wasn't in the literature of adverse reactions.
I decided to go back to my GYN who had told me to get the GI stuff straightened out first, but found she went out on an extended medical leave, so I went to another one in her building. Even with an ultrasound and examination, he said my uterus was enlarged, but not overly so.
After I had the hysterectomy, he told me my uterus had enlarged to such a large degree that it had been acting like a stopper for my GI system. I couldn't have BMs because the uterus was blocking the exit route. I spent 9 months in serious pain, bounced around from doctor to doctor, extremely frustrated not to know how to fix what was happening and not being believed, and gained 50 pounds from the hormones.
I am so glad I had the hysterectomy done. I feel great and I'm getting my life back.
Reading back over this, I sound like doomsday, don't I? LOL...I always get the extremes of everything in my life, so take my experience as aBnormal.
I saw a few attorneys and ended up sm
making up my own separation agreement, had an attorney look over it and he said it was fine. Attorney didn't want me to get the agreement, he wanted his $3K down and to drag it out in court for a year or so.
Go to the emergency room. That's what I ended
up doing for the same reason. I talked to my insurance company and he made me promise that I would go to the ER and tell them that I was in a mentally critical condition. They did give me anti-depressants although it does take a while for the full affect. At least you'll have something on board in the meantime. You should also be able to go to your PCP and get the same results. Whatever you do, go see a doctor. Either your PCP or go to the ER. They do understand and will help.
You will continue to be in my prayers.
Bud's hub hid his & ended up bleeding to death from

search for *open-ended* MRI places
Open-ended MRI imaging centers is what you need to look for. We have plenty here where I live (Florida)...but MANY people cannot stand the long narrow tube to lay in for hour(s)....just like me! So, keep on searching for open-ended MRI centers!! *S*
My daughter had this problem, ended up she was using a shampoo
for oily hair that made her hair over-compensate for using the oily shampoo and it produced more oil, hence her having to wash her hair more often, try switching shampoos. I feel for you.
Ha, My shift ended at 6am, but we're on (perpetual) OT

I've ended the cazillion dirty glasses in the sink every day problem...
My husband and I got tired of the kids coming to the kitchen a bunch of times during the day and each time grabbing a new glass to drink from - even after we asked them to pick a spot on the counter to keep their glass at and rinse it out/wash it after every use. Previously we'd end up with the dishwasher filled on the top level with glasses every day.
I went to Target and found different colored plastic tumblers. I bought a tumbler for everyone in the household. At supper time tonight I put all tumblers on the table and told everyone to pick their favorite color. After this was done they were all told this is now their color to use, and they're solely responsible for their tumbler each day, and are to rinse/wash it as needed throughout the day. I then went to the cabinets and proceeded to pack up all but 4 glasses we have in the cabinet - and those 4 I've moved to the very top shelf. They know that if their tumbler is found outside of the kitchen the problem is solved of "who left the glass on the living room table?" None will be allowed to wonder to bedrooms or they'll lose their tumbler and have nothing to drink from but a small juice glass. If we have company they can use the 4 glasses on the top shelf.
This should work and we'll no longer have dishpan hands!
Ended up taking her to stat care last night...not hand foot and mouth. sm
Ended up that she had an allergic reaction to a Chestnut tree that she had been playing on!!! She had a few on her toes because she had been wearing sandles and was climbing on a fallen tree. She was picking the leaves and "seeds" and picking them open. The oil from the tree gave her a reaction and caused the blisters to form. Thanks for asking...and thanks to all who answered my first post!
