    It’s been a while since I’ve written an update on the status of my fibroid battle. That’s mostly because I haven’t been worrying too much about my fibroids. There hasn’t been a battle to fight. My life hasn’t been all about my fibroids and how I feel from day to day depending on the size of my stomach.

    For the most part I have been doing well. I continue to keep to a restricted diet of coconut milk, chia seeds, raw almonds and cashews (mostly in home-made butter form but also whole), occasionally raw peanuts and peanut butter, and kale. My restricted diet does include some other items such as ginger, cinnamon and turmeric. And occasionally a piece of salmon or cod fish. I had been having Quinoa in blended (pudding) form but I’ve had to cut that out after two episodes of unbearably painful stomach cramps after eating the pudding.

    I do have to admit that in the last week I’ve sampled some tea biscuits and some crackers here and there. And even had a tiny bite from a milky way bar which contained milk. But for the most part I have been good about keeping to the restricted diet. I have been avoiding dairy and also trying to avoid gluten and sugar. And the benefit has been that my stomach has maintained the improvements seen following my 30-days stretch of avoiding solid food. I was supposed to try another 30 days off solids but that hasn’t taken yet. However I eat very little in the way of solid food throughout the day.

    Life has been busy as I’ve been working hard trying to get back into the entrepreneurship game. I haven’t been allowing myself time to focus on what’s not right in my life. I guess it has helped a great deal that my stomach hasn’t been quite so enormous as back in December last year when I ended up at the emergency room. It’s easier not to focus on the fibroids when they aren’t insisting on being the center of attention in my life.

    My name is Monica. I have fibroids. My fibroids are large enough that they have transformed my figure into something I am still trying to learn how to live with. In the meantime while I try to learn how to live with my fibroids I am also trying every possible method I can find to try to shrink them naturally because I am afraid of the idea of a hysterectomy. I lived with fibroids from 2007 - 2016. I started documenting my experiences on this blog in 2012. On March 7th 2016 I had a hysterectomy out of concern that I might have ovarian cancer. It did not turn out that I had ovarian cancer. The cancer scare forced the hysterectomy I was trying to avoid, and so, I became fibroid free as of March 7th 2016. I will try to keep this blog up and running in the hope that it will be of some use to others going through what I went through.
