I needed them my entire adult life especially when the fibroids came. Like you, the pill prevented the fibroids from increasing. <br /><br />Ultimately, I had a hysterectomy but that procedure was many years later as a result of preventive medicine. If the cysts continue, I will most likely need start taking them again. <br /><br />People don't understand how exhausting, embarrassing and mortifying it is to have to go round after round with insurers and employers about something that is so personal and then be told that there's no help for you (can you believe hysterectomy is considered a "pre-existing condition" by some insurers?) <br /><br />Lawmakers are really missing the point here and I'm fed up.Adrianne Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108123882094459747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1181956562196934862012-02-19T03:10:07.666-06:002012-02-19T03:10:07.666-06:00Thanks for sharing.

Muther F-ning crazy, holy cheebus. <br /><br /><br />I mean seriously. I sat and watched it in my parents kitchen and my jaw dropped.

As a male, I see this as none other than insecure males trying to oppress female rights...<br /><br />...cause lets be brutally honest, 70 to 80 percent of males never bring up contraception when it comes "to" the time of getting down, it's women that bring it up! <br /><br />And the rest of the males, are these bible thumping hypocrites that are the american version of the Taliban.<br /><br />In my best Clint E voice:<br /><br />"Fck you punk".macnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121875555691264235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-27668510436991361902012-02-16T20:26:00.937-06:002012-02-16T20:26:00.937-06:00i just can't get over the sad mix of greed and...i just can't get over the sad mix of greed and religious fervor. And Santorum has a chance to be elected President. This motivates me even more to help Obama win a second term. And we need to help get more reasonable people elected to Jefferson City too. I am too old and infirm to qualify for Canadian citizenship.

The problem went away over the years but now my daughter is on birth control pills for the same reason. If I had not/she does not take birth control pills, we would develop one of these EXCRUTIATING cysts every month. <br /><br />I am disgusted that Viagra is prescribed and paid for by the insurance companies with no questions asked but birth control is debated to no end. Viagra costs ten times as much as birth control and THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO MEDICAL BENEFIT OTHER THAN A BONER. I don't think boners are a prerequsite to good health.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-26887985016179451232012-02-15T13:55:38.423-06:002012-02-15T13:55:38.423-06:00Yeah, serious slippery slope going on here.

Creon is made from pigs, so vegans and vegetarians (and some people who keep Kosher) have an objection to it. Without it, I get severe attacks of nausea and vomiting that last for days and sometimes leave me hospitalized. If my employers were militant vegetarians or vegans, I could be out of luck on this bill--and my Creon prescription runs just short of $1100 a month, so it's something I would have a hard time affording.Pencilsnoreply@blogger.com
