Welcome to the CMD Forum coinhog and I too was seeing drs about the pain I was having and bleeding most of the time! My GYN said it was just fibroid tumors and they would dry up and disappear after my change of life! Other drs said it was all in my head, because of knowing that I suffer from depression! Well, I finally seen another dr for a second oppion after 5 years of feeling badly and not able to get better and they both agreed that I needed an operation! I had a large cyst on my right overy and was a mess! I had a hystorectomy at the age of 43 and finally got the help I needed! I wasn't that gungho in faith in Christ at that time, but did go to church and serve Him the best I knew how to do!
Most of the drs just push pills and so I was on anti-depressant for years while hurting physically and emotionally! I still have depression but usually keep it controlled by taking meds for it! I do have to change once in awhile, for they quit doing their job after taken for a long period of time! I have a Chemical Imbalance which runs in my mom's family!
She suffered when her first baby passed away and grandpa (her dad) had it so bad that they put him in Malcolm Bliss Hosp, because he would stray away and get lost!
My brother, Larry, committed suicide from depression, although he never admitted it! Other relatives on mom's side of the family have also been diagnosed with deep depression! My daughter, Tami, has depression and has had it since leaving home! She also has Fibromyalgia which doesn't help, as she is usually in pain most of the time! Mom's sister, Aunt Myrtle, had it so bad that she was hospitalized several times! Took med for it and to be able to sleep but she passed away in Sept of 2007, at the age of 93!
Yes, life isn't a Rose Garden and when the drs can't, don't or won't help those who are ill and keep saying it is all in the head makes illnesses even worse!
I pray you are able to go

without being so tired after working and may you find lots of nice coins and other goodies! Thanks for your prayers for Bro Pete! He has had many trials to face and too many cause depression and illnesses in the body! So our real help comes from Jesus, the Great Physician!!
God Bless!
