Thank you so much for this and the last message. This is exactly what I
am looking for. I am trying to learn as much about endo as I can, so
that I am in charge of what decisions I make, and so that I am informed
about what to expect. I am so glad that I found a place that I feel
like people can understand what I am going through. My husband is
wonderful, but just isn't able to fully understand.
Thank you for your help!!
