I agree with Kelli, some of the 1st things that my docs told me when I was diagnosed was to either have a baby to cure or to have one so I could have a hysto. Everyone I talk to like people at work or someone that knows someone else says that having a baby cures it.....and I have to go into a long expanation about it.
I think a could thing to add to the pamphlet is that when you're in constant pain day in and day out, it is not only hard to deal with the pain but it takes a major toll on your emotional wellbeing and can be very exhausting......we're not just being babies....
