Subject: RE: BS: Hysterectomy vs Fibroidectomy: Opinions?
Thanks for the perspective, SRS.

Great story, Spaw. I'm going to have to remember that line. It could come in handy some time.

Thanks to all who have posted more information. I'll definitely see about the pantothenic acid (if I can find some not made from corn ;-)...

About the Uterine Artery Embolisation, I'm a bit concerned about that one. One of the sites I encountered gave some statistics about women who had bad reactions to the particles that were put in their blood as a part of the process. Being as allergy-prone and chemical intolerant as I seem to be, that would be a big consideration for me.

Does anyone have any first-hand knowledge of women who have had their fibroids removed with a sonic scalpel? Also, does anyone have any first-hand knowledge of women who have had their fibroids removed using myolysis? (Myolysis is the use of a laparoscopic incision and an electrical current to the fibroid.)

Thanks again, everybody.
