Wow, great on the coffee!!! I have given in to drinking starbucks decaf which is great. I don't know if you have any Caribou Coffees where you are, but if you do, and you like mocha, try their dark chocolate mocha..........amazing!!

Re the fibroids, first I started noticing that the reflux was always much much worse right before & during my periods. I have some fairly good sized ones, about 8 cm I think. When i noticed this I wondered if it wasn't exactly what you said about the pressure. On another fibroid board, a number of people commented that when they had surgery to remove the fibroids or shrink them, their reflux went completely away. My obgyn keeps insisting they are not related. But then when I went back on the lupron, it all but disappeared, unless I was really bad. I could even eat tomato sauce (a prime offender for me) with little if any problems. Now I am off & it is back. I talked to my primary about it a few weeks ago, and he is wondering if maybe it doesn't have something to do with hormones. My problem is getting anyone to take the fibroid issue seriously. I had no clue I had them but I was having more & more problems around my period, and started noticing that I was feeling crappy about half of the time. My previous gyn ordered the ultrasound & they were discovered. Because of my age, they keep telling me that they will go away soon. But no women in my family have reached menopause before 58. They keep insisting that something else must be wrong for me to be still menstruating, and want to do all kinds of other tests which I think are unnecessary, as nothing else has shown up and this is completely normal in my family. My mother, older sister, older cousins etc all attest. The first round of Lupron did not shrink the fibroids, they actually got bigger (I guess you can rebound or something when going off) I don't think they improved at all this time either. They are making my stomach stick out & I feel so lousy the week before & week of my period. I have a follow up with the gyn next month, I am seriously thinking of taking some kind of action, maybe the one where they cut off the blood flow to the uterus (forgot the name). My first gyn gave me the choice of doing nothing or having a hysterectomy, which I think is unnecessary, but I'm not sure the doing nothing is the right solution either. I will see what this gyn says next month. Are your fibroids giving you problems? Have you tried anything yet?View Thread
