What they don't tell you about having fibroids

( Cut for talking of female bodily functions, because I know some people don't want to read that. )

I guess this applies to anyone who's going through a major health change: nobody tells you how your life will really be affected. They'll tell you symptoms in a clinical manner, they'll tell you the rules you have to follow, they'll tell you that they feel sorry for you. But they don't tell you how it'll all really affect you, practically, on a day-to-day level.

They'll leave you to flounder through and hope you don't drown before the end.
