As of February, 2020, I am currently dealing with a “huge” uterine fibroid that is causing anemia and needs to be dealt with.

I made the fibroid its own tab because while it greatly affects my running and potentially was caused by (or influenced to grow by) my hypothyroidism issues, it is a health issue all of its own and deserves its own section of the blog.

Short background information on my fibroid

About Lupron Depot, the hormone blocker we are using to try to shrink the fibroid (how does it work, who is it for, what are the common side effects)

Lupron Depot symptom journal (weekly journal about my experience with this hormone blocker)

Why is it important to share any of this? I’ve been searching for information on the internet about other people’s experiences and wanted to share my own, hopefully someone who is going through a tough time (just like me) can read this and realize that they are not alone.
