I posted earlier this week that I was scared my IC (chronic pain condition) was returning after 18 months of relief. I went to the OB/GYN today, for pain on my lower right abdomen and they found a "giant" cyst! It is most likely the cause of my pain and the tension from it is most likely what caused my flare up this week! It is such a relief to have a reason!
Now here's to hoping the cyst obeys doctor's orders and goes away on its own. It is large enough that they weren't able to see the rest of my ovary. I go back in 6 weeks to make sure it is shrinking.
Any "natural" remedies to banish a cyst? I just got my depo shot last Friday (good timing I know), so I won't be getting a cycle anytime soon. From my understanding your cycle is what shrinks them, so I'm a little a confused about this.
Re: F/U ... I'm the 1st person ever to be excited about a cyst
I also went into remission with my pregnancy and since nursing. The "theory" is that my stopping my period that the remission will remain. I flare really bad around my period, so up until we decided to start trying I was on the depo shot. When I went off of it, I had 2 years that my IC was beyond deblitating. I waited until AF came back to get my depo shot, last friday was my first shot since my son was born.
I joke that I'm just going to stay pregnant and breast feeding to keep it away ; )
*Thanks ayram!
I'm happy for you, even though that sounds ridiculous.
I'm glad its something you have a better solution for.
I also have IC and had a paraguard inserted a few weeks ago, so far I've been feeling pretty good.
