But I really have a fibroid problem

The “Do not try this at home” post touched on my frustration with a doctor who did not believe I had a fibroid tumor problem.

This is what should have happened: I should have left his office and immediately found another doctor. Unfortunately (as in this case), I can be quite stubborn when I know I am right. So…

This is what actually happened: I said, “screw it” (or some form of that saying) and moved on. I worked full-time and attended school but it was rough. Finished college and got married a few years later. Paused my career just long enough to notice my cramps and bleeding were horrible.
