Thank you for writing this. After years of discomfort and no diagnosis, finally an abortion worker let me know I had a growing fibroid. I’ve had mannnny (expensive) appointments since then and am still not yet being guaranteed help (which unfortunately appears to be surgery). I’m white so I know my body has experienced nothing close to what Black folks go through, but I was raised in and out of poverty (and a high-stress household) and I think that probably contributed. (Also the only other white woman I know irl who has them was also raised poor/still, like me, worries about money). Anyway, lots of solidarity your way!!!
I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. It's so painful and terrible. Sending solidarity your way and I really hope you are able to get the help you need.
