Chronic Illness is the biggest curse. She speaks such truth. We get gaslit an insane amount and it's unacceptable. I'm grateful to her for sharing her story.
I agree with the gaslighting issue. It’s not okay and it makes me wonder if men get gaslit too but I think I know the answer. 😠😠😠
People, doctors included, don't understand the emotional toll it takes on many women who have a hysterectomy, no matter the age. It is a loss & women's grief around this should not be overlooked!!! I wish Ms. Knight's recovery well.❤
Unless you have walked in someone's shoes, can you really relate...Blessings to her to share her story to help others!!!
I was 37 and was glad to have a hysterectomy. Endometriosis heavy periods, etc. I loved life after it was over. A uterus etc can’t define us.
A-m-e-n.
🎯💯👏🏾
So proud of her and thankful for her courage to share such a vulnerable time in her life. Im going through similar issues and will also likely need a hysterectomy at a young age. Sending her healing hugs!! Xoxo
I can relate to your fatigue and DRs apts and no one listening. I had my procedure in 2008 at 48 and it was the best decision I ever made. I was ready 10 years earlier but Doctors just ignored me. However, it took me 2 yrs for my body and brain to connect after the procedure. My brain was saying, hey somethings missing and my body was saying, hello, I had an organ removed. I think that was the hardest part, but I do not regret having the procedure.
I'll be 39 years on the 29th of April and I have 2 large fibroids and multiple small ones. I plan to have a hysterectomy also. I'm currently unemployed because it's hard to complete the job. I can't wait to feel better.
It’s incredibly freeing.
I was a complete new woman after my surgery and healing. Sending kind thoughts to you❤
I had the same surgery at 35, for the same issue. Best decision I made. Thank you for bringing awareness.
Your womanhood is still intact. Not just an organ. Loved my surgery...freedom from Aunt Flo. No pregnancy risks. Embrace this new period in your life. You got this!!!
My mom had a hysterectomy when she was 48 because it was supposed to be the surgery that would eliminate her cancer. Unfortunately only about 90% of her tumor that was sitting on her ovaries was successfully removed and what the doctors couldn't get ended up spreading to other parts of her body and it just made life hell for her at the end. Getting a hysterectomy can still be a life saving procedure even understanding for my family that it didn't make my mom better. She would have turned 58 in July. Wishing Keltie a full and complete recovery so that she can have a more peaceful life and free of her pain
It’s not the end, it’s just the beginning of being healthy.
Wow… I understand her pain. I suffer with a similar condition 😢
I wonder what would happen if you went carnivore and ate liver.
I’m recovering from cancer and this has helped me so much because I’m going through the same type of emotions and energy loss
I am very very sorry to hear about your journey..I had to have a hysterectomy at 30 largely due to anemia...I understand every woman us different and believes what they wish/ want to..I felt grateful try o my Dr as he was able to make me feel string and healthy and it did not bother me at all..I felt and still feel every bit a woman..no children. But I am strong..I hope you get well and find peace
Put it in new perspective: a hysterectomy means freedom!
It absolutely has been for me ❤
I had a total hysterectomy at age 40 (now 63) to end debilatating endimetriosis, and have felt soo much better since that decision.
I had been struggling to live any kind of normal life but the pain was constant and severe. My OBGYN looked at me during a visit and said, "I know you've probably been taught to suffer but it's just not necessary." I cried. In those words he had given me permission to be happy and healthy again. (I know, probably shouldn't have needed permission, but . . .it is what it is).
I made the decision that day to have the surgery. He was able to perform the surgery laproscopically so my healing time was very fast and I haven't had any of the pelvic floor muscle issues common with the "traditional" hysterectomy procedure.
It was a blessing. A complete blessing.
Thank you for sharing ❤ Sending you love 💕
Thanks for sharing journey! More transparency in healthcare is needed. Prayers for healing! ❤️🩹
Sending Healing prayers your way 💓💓 thank you for sharing your journey ❤️💐💐
Wow, this is me 100%! I’m glad she’s on the road to recovery. Ferritin’s a 4, ultra heavy periods that keep me at home for at least 3 days (have to be near a toilet). No energy, and shortness of breath all of the time. I’ve had infusions, I take iron everyday and wear an iron patch, but it’s not enough. I’m really not looking forward to the surgery, but like she said, “can you imagine how much she will be able to accomplish when she gets her energy back?” I can’t wait for that either, I used to be so alive! As my iron slowly creeps back up (it takes forever 😫), it’s like you’re coming back to life.
My heart goes out to you, Keltie. How incredibly challenging! I hope you feel spectacular very soon after all of this! 🙏🏻💕
I have a lifelong chronic disease - Premature Ovarian Insufficiency. I truly value what Keltie is speaking out about and how women's health isn't just periods and menopause. There's a whole lot in-between!!
She’s lovely and so brave ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. Women shouldn't have to fight so hard for their health and to get someone to listen and understand.
Been there done that I am 64 and had so manny problems in my 30s and had a hysterectomy in my 40s, and I recent her saying the old lady thing come in really she is not the first and wont be the last bit geeze stop and talk about gaslighting I feel gas lit by her she is lucky that these days its different now than when I was having gemale issues
Aww she’s delightful
Thank you Keltie
Thank you for sharing!! ❤❤
What a brave woman👏🏽 As a fellow chronically ill warrior, I applaud her for telling her story🙌🏽
😢need to be checked for Alfagal also.
God bless, sister!❤
The impulse to hit record and put everything on social is weird... comes from a place of toxic self importance. People become blind to their own inflated sense of self importance.
I wondered what happened to her...she was my favorite on ET! I'm so sorry to hear this...and it is extremely hard to find a good doctor. Keeping my fingers crossed for her!❤❤🤎💜🩵
Thank you for sharing your very personal story. I’m sure you will be an inspiration for many women who may have been struggling & are uncertain what to do. ❤It’s very kind and unselfish of you and I know it takes great courage. I’m amazed you were able to do such a demanding job while you were so tired 😴. I am 58 & went through menopause at about 54. I had an abnormal pap for the first time and they wanted to do a leep procedure but it sounded horrible and very painful and they didn’t do it under anesthesia so I decided to take my chances and not have the procedure. The next 2 paps were normal. I was really shocked and no explanation was given for it. I just remember thinking what if they wanted to do a hysterectomy? I was over 50 so I knew intellectually I was not going to be having any more children. I was able to have 2 children which was a blessing for a long time but they are now 30 & 33 and their dad & I were divorced after a 21 year marriage which had its effects on us all, and especially on me and he had another child shortly after the divorce. 😢Ive talked to my gyno about how men seem to be able to get women pregnant until they are in their 80s and us females have such a very small window in which we can conceive and hopefully carry to term & have a healthy child without risks to our own health. Whew!! That seems pretty ominous. And it doesn’t include the teens and all the problems with that, disrespect, drug & alcohol abuse & addiction, and then when you think you survived the worst years, they became estranged and rarely see or talk to me, & it’s generally disrespectful.
But I think if I had to go through what you have, I would have gone through something a lot like a pregnancy that ends prematurely. I just want to lyk that it is perfectly normal to feel a loss and also to mourn that loss if you are struggling. It’s important that you don’t blame yourself but do allow yourself a normal time to grieve for the loss, and finally it really angered me to hear the comments you got from some people. I am so sorry and I’m just in shock at some ppls ignorance and inability to empathize. It’s becoming a lost art and it’s sad bc the same thing or worse could happen to them. I’m noticing alot of people, especially GenZ? The 90s kids are more selfish and entitled and spoiled than the previous generations. My kids are just downright rude to me and don’t seem to care about my health issues or anything to do with me. I don’t want to make light of your situation and the feelings you must be struggling with. Don’t be afraid to tell people how a comment affected you and how difficult things have been & you could use more encouragement and positive words instead of telling you to eat a steak. 🙄 You could always reply to this by saying you’ve been eating steaks 2x day for the past couple months. Maybe that will help them think. I will keep you in my prayers and hope you feel better soon. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself some pampering time. God Bless You! ❤❤❤🙏🙏
I understand when she said, “You feel guilt like it’s your fault.” It can be ANY health issue, you feel like you should complain. I’m so sorry she is going through this. You never know what’s going on in a person’s life. I wish her the best.
6:35 🫶 God bless your health
Don’t think of it as the end, it’s just the beginning.I am anemic and will be for the rest of my life but once I had a hysterectomy it was life changing! I used to say I should have done it when I was 12! I also suffered endometriosis (which my specialist said was worse then a cancer patient)
Sounds like she either had crappy doctors or she didn’t hear them when they said hysterectomy years ago bc 40 something is late to have it when you have a chronic condition causing bleeding. This is why most women get one …even in their 30s. Best thing I ever did.
I had ablation surgery when I was 37. I had major blood clots since I first started. My. At 12 years old. Even as an adult standing up having my. I would have accidents. I was afraid to leave my home during that time of the month. Before the ablation surgery I was having periods every two weeks. I was so anemic it was ridiculous. I was told afterwards that I should think about a hysterectomy. When I was 55 I found out I had major fibroids. And had a hysterectomy immediately after. If they say ablation surgery, get a second opinion. The only bummer after hysterectomy is getting on estrogen. Don't ever go cold turkey to get off it. Male doctors don't understand the woman's body like a female gynecologist.
It is not the end of your women hood, I had to have one at 31 emotional yes I went through all the emotions, once I went through all my emotions, Doctors no help even woman doctors, my problems started at 21 no doctor at 21 would give you a hysterectomy, by 31 I was so sick I couldn’t live life anymore , I fought hard to get my life back , emotionally it took time and years but slowly got my life back and slowly became happy, and a whole knew life, bad things in between my recovery happened ex husband things like that, but by I hit 40 ready to go , energy and zest for life and haven’t stopped yet
NO. The the hate you receive is a signal to SHUT UP.
Give Morris my ticket 🎫😎🍦
OMG, yes. You get called troublesome and argumentative and they try to send you to CBT. It is hard to advocate for yourself.
Pelvic radiation will also end your "womanhood" as far as your sex life. Radiation doctors need to address this chronic symptom.
Gayle King likes to pour salt in wounds.
my very unprofessional opinion is that she was on birth control from a young age which can cause many issues like anemia and endometriosis. she may be allergic to bovine as a result of a tick bite...it's called the Alpha-gal syndrome caused by the lone star tick.
You are 100% wrong. Birth control pills ARE used for controlling heavy periods, for controlling the amount of hormones/estrogens in the system, which HELPS with endometriosis (althought it dows not cure it). Please read more about it before posting. Your unresearched comment may influence someone to not get help or not use bcp even if they could help, so maybe next time research first or refrain from posting.
@@irenitele8497 I bet you never heard of the ALPHA-GAL syndrome and I bet you're wrong. how much money you wanna bet?
@@irenitele8497 the medical industry regularly withholds info to sell drugs...fact. turn on the TV and count how many settlement ads you see in a day!
There is a serious lack funding regarding women’s health issues especially for fibroids! Fibroids are devastating but this country only cares about all things men! particularly, issues concerning white men only!
Entitled B
you would definitely feel better if you ate more vegetables. fact
