fibriectomy ruined my life
by cathy
After getting pregnant on the pill at age 40, I decided to have a tubal. Had I have known that it would cause me to have no sex drive, moodiness, PMS, severe cramps, night sweats, hair loss, and feel like a washed up old woman before my time, I NEVER WOULD HAVE DONE IT! My life is forever changed for the worse. I used to feel so young compared to what I feel now. I called my doctor to complain. My insurance has run out, but he went ahead and prescribed the pill, no hormone testing, no visit, and I have to take it because it's the only option I have, not having insurance and all. The pills are 30 bucks a month which I have to pay for out of pocket. It burns me up that I am back on the pill. What was the point in getting the tubal in the first place then? The doctor who counseled me on the tubal does it a different way, only cutting a small piece out and he never mentioned PTLS. I was to be induced with this doctor, but I went into labor early and I got the OTHER doctor in the practice, and he took out the whole freaking thing- he did a double fibriectomy, which I heard is hardly ever done anymore these days. In fact when I called him after the fact to compalin about my symptoms, he said "Oh, Dr. ____ didn't counsel you on the risks? I USUALLY do before surgery." I obtained a complete copy of my records, stating I was moving. On the consent form, which I had signed, the doctors name who performed the tubal was STAMPED in. I Am so pissed off. I called a lawyer, but he won't take my case. What can we do? I want my life back! This is not right! I feel as if I've been burned and I cannot just sit by and let this happen to other poor souls like myself. I want to enjoy my baby, family, ride rollar coasters again, go back to work. Instead all I want to do is sleep and be a bitch to those I love. And no wonder it's birth contol, because you never WANT to have sex again after the operation! My poor hubby! I've been on the pill for only 4 days now, and the bleeding is slowing down, but I still don't feel right. I'm hoping for some relief soon from my other symptoms. I guess time will tell. HELP!!!
