Nurse Practitioner Janisha Mays felt nothing. No pain, no warning signs, nothing to make her think anything was wrong. She was even on birth control at the time. Then she found out she had fibroids, and by the time of her myomectomy, doctors removed 22. In this episode of Receipts: The Body Keeps Score, the board certified nurse practitioner, founder of Eudaimonia Wellness and Beauty and The Fibroid Room, talks with Dr. Jasel Martin about burnout, nervous system regulation, why so many women don't feel their fibroids until surgery, and what she tells clients who feel dismissed by their providers. This is not medical advice. A licensed provider determines what is right for you.
