Ovarian Cysts and Their Possible Symptoms

I have had ovarian cysts before in my 55ish years but none like the ones I just had this last couple of months during my menopause. As you are aware, I have been in menopause for 4 years, 2 months, 19 days. How do I know the exact day and time, down to between 3 and 5 pm that evening on October 14, 2018? My body is my temple. My hair, zits, freckles, innards, we are all on a first name basis.

So, when my three cysts arrived, I just knew something was wrong. Now that they are almost gone (the left one decided to hang around a bit longer than the 2 right ones), there were some symptoms that some of you may experience as well.

The first symptom was water smelled like fish. Boiled, microwaved, and hot water from the tap all smelled. We run all through a filter but that does nothing for smells. Living in Hawaii, OK, maybe there could be a smell, but my hubby could pick up nothing. It started about the time my cysts arrived and I just noticed it gone when the 2 right cysts went away. Not a hint of fishy smell and I can enjoy my tea again!

It’s FM baby!

The second symptom: My upper tummy was bloated. I could ALWAYS suck that part in, but she was having none of that. It was different than gas and almost felt like a burning sensation. But, thinking it could be digestive issues, I cut out a lot of food…
