Hello All-
I am new to this website not because I was
diagnosed with cancer but because I think I have it. Mind you I never
thought this would happen to me but I finally had to give into my
symptoms and really think about what was going on with me.
If any of you can relate to the symptoms I am having please let me know.
It
all started about two years ago when I was diagnosed with HPV. I didn't
even know that I had it. I had no signs or symptoms of it but after my
annual pap I recieved a letter in the mail regarding my results. I went
ahead and did som research as to what it was and found that was a
likely prescursor to cervical cancer.
So like almost
everyone would do I made regular 6 month apointments from there on out.
The following two papsmears came out perfect. My doctor said i had
cleared the virus and had no strains of HPV in my pap test. I was happy
and thought that was the end of it.
Soon after
recieving those results I started having really painful intercoruse
with my bf. It was not normal at all. I had to completly stop. I was
spotting every now and then but I looked at it as normal because I was
never a person who had normal periods. i would sometimes go 5 months
without getting one.
Little by little I started spotting more
and getting my periods almost every month. I thought this was just my
bodies way of starting anew and getting into a routine cycle.
Since
the painful sex had gone away I started to have intercourse again...
only to be back in that painful state again! I would bleed after
it as well and it never felt good.
Now my periods
have become an almost constant bleed and when I am not I am spotting
and usually everytime I go to the bathroom I seem to have this brownish
-gritty stuff that comes out (like dried blood). I think because I have
been loosing so much blood is why I am so tired lately. I get more than
enough sleep but still feel exhausted all the time.
Has anyone else experienced these symptoms. Your replies would really help me. Thank you!
Christa
