Hi everyone,
It has been quite a while since I stopped by here, but I keep wondering if anyone is experiencing these same issues. I had open total proctocolectomy with ileostomy on 3/18/10. After major complications with first surgery, had ileostomy takedown on 4/27/10. I have not had a menstrual cycle since immediately after my first surgery (it was horrible- new bag+period) and it was extremely heavy and painful. I have not had a period since then, not even a speck of one. I also have begun to get breaking veins in my legs, they look like spider veins almost, they come up to the skin and break and bleed through the skin. I am not sure if in anyway this could be related, but I figured I would drop a line on here to get someone's opinion, or experiences with similar issues..
