I...Sorry to hear about everything you went through. I stumbled on your page while looking up information about tubal reversals. I had my tubes tied in November after my third child. Seemed like a great idea since being on hormonal birth control didn't go to well with my body (headaches, emotions etc) and was never warned that there was any side effects to a tubal ligation. After the normal pain and discomfort from having laproscopic surgery passed (about a week) I was left with a nagging stabbing pain on my one side and was told at my post op appointment that it was just my tubes being mad at me (seriously?!?!) and that I just needed to let it heal. We are almost 6 months later and I have a slew of symptoms - I have 27 of the 45 symptoms listed including headache, weight gain, bloating in my lower abdomen, extremely heavy periods, mood swings, chronic tiredness, painful ovulation, an aching feeling in my pelvic area that feels like it radiates down my legs, sometimes stabbing pains that make me unable to walk and have developed a complex hemorragic cyst inside my one ovary - all within under 6 months. Kind of scared to know what could happen long term. I'm considering a reversal just to get rid of the symptoms (not for pregnancy) but they are expensive so that may be far off from where I am now. In the mean time I'm taking DIM to flush excess estrogen and considering eithe maca or vitex to also help balance hormones just don't think it will ever be very effective since the tubes are tied and it probably won't ever fully help but any improvement is better at this point. I think more frustrating than the pain is the fact that no doctors recognize PTLS as real. I am seen at a military facility and they gave me multiple diagnoses for all my symptoms - one of which my pelvic pain is actually muscle pain from having my third baby in September - they recommended physical therapy and a good vitamin. I'm just tired of the run around and feeling like no one (in the Doctor world) understands. It should be illegal to have this many women suffering from similar symptoms who have all had the same procedure done and not require a disclosure warning them of potential side effects. Then if you still choose to have it done then let it be so but this is terrible and way worse than the hormone sensitivity I had on and off in the past to oral contraceptives. <br /><br />I was wondering if you ever got the surgery and if so how you are feeling now?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496917497942343257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578853222094811839.post-66408917331978988972015-09-28T15:59:19.512-07:002015-09-28T15:59:19.512-07:00Thank you so much for sharing your story.

I had major depression afterwards, I have on/off anxiety not to mention anxiety attacks. After birth I tried breastfeeding but just wasn't making enough milk which was rare because I was able to breastfeed my 1st born for a year in a half and my 2nd baby 6 months. So that was very emotional and sad. 😞. Intercourse is very painful. I've had lower stomach pains ever since. I randomly start crying and believe I am a horrible mom. 😢 I have major mood changes and I was so good with patience which I feel like I'm not anymore. I pray that God can help me with all this crazy symptoms. I am also looking forward to a tubal reversal in MX since I am from Tx and it is very expensive. I've done my research on the place and I'm more excited than ever. I've read some Womens stories and how good they felt after surgery. I hope your turns out great. ☺ Prayers going your way for you and your family. ❤Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287804757566958957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578853222094811839.post-59363215794166912312015-06-02T20:48:39.602-07:002015-06-02T20:48:39.602-07:00Hi Rebekah,

Just wondering if you've had your reversal done yet? <br />I have suffered with PTS for 10 years since my tubal ligation after my third baby. I have regretted it every day, and am praying for a reversal.<br />I'd like to know if it is expected that your symptoms of PTS will actually reverse back to normal after the reversal is done?<br />Thank you<br />AmandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853406906640610927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578853222094811839.post-5712171424429213442015-03-23T22:22:20.099-07:002015-03-23T22:22:20.099-07:00What a miracle!

Yet, we all know countless people who have unexplained chronic pain, disorders with symptoms that no one in medicine can definitively diagnose. I am heartbroken that you've been walking through that.<br /><br />You are a STRONG woman. God is using your research and faith to bless others again and again. And for you I believe in complete healing! Thank you for sharing this. As a nurse in L&D I certainly am praying about how to advocate for my patients in light of this as I research PTLS , and somehow still have a job if I've convinced patients otherwise :)<br /><br />Cheering you on and believing in miracles! Our God is mighty to save.
