Hi,
My name is Kristene and I have had endo for about 8 years and fibromyalgia
for about 5 years. I am seeing the doctor on the 6th of June to get on some
medication for my fatigue, and depression. I am glad there are people out
there we can talk to. I am here if you ever need to talk. Good luck and take
care of yourself. T.T.F.N. TA-TA-FOR-NOW
Kristene
