Please, may I have a hug? Re: health problems
This ovarian cyst is killing me. I have to wait until I have a period. If I can't have a period in the next two weeks, my mom thinks I should get something to start it.

Seriously scared here. What if the cyst doesn't go away after another month? If it doesn't, it won't only mean a lot of pain, but I'll probably lose my job. The supervisor says that I can't miss all of July.

Sorry to be so needy. Certainly, there is a lot more important and tragic events in the world that need more attention. Sorry to be wasting everyone's time. Have a good night. Thanks.

13. get something else.
pet peeve- people not getting good pain control. complain. keep trying. you don't need to hurt, and you don't need to loose your job. vicodin, norco, ultram, whatever it takes.
:hug: stay strong. it's the only way.

17. Of course!
:hug:

Try not to worry.... it might help relieve the pain if you can relax a little. You are getting way ahead of yourself and all that stress is bad for you!

Repeat after me.... everything is going to be fine, everything is going to be fine....

19. Do a hot water/ginger compress
It will help relieve the pain and maybe shrink the cyst.

28. Thank you, but I am a little leary of following medical advice
over the internet especially when it comes to diet. I respect you as a person who is trying to help, but you can't physically examine me, so I think I might just ask my gyn about your advice. She might consider them... Thank you.

22. I do not know. My mom said something like that.
I have to get my period and then get on Lutera birth control to shrink the cyst.

29. Best healing energy to you.

BC may help shrink/eliminate the cyst. Progesterone cream (it's non-Rx) may also help. A simple but consistent walking routine will likely help and will probably reduce the pain as well (to some extent at least; may take a few weeks to kick in).

27. Sending healing thoughts
and hugs your way. Don't let them bully you at work, your health comes first. You have rights about that. If that doesn't go away completely maybe you can have it removed.

:hug:

I had a similar problem a couple years ago. My little dog volunteered to be a heating pad, and it helped with the pain.

I ended up having to go on birth control pills for a few months. Ugh.

You'll be alright. :hug:
