Kristen it was great to hear from you I had a hysto 5 years ago and my
endo has been worse since then. I now have no overies or cervix I do
take hrt but there is no way I could function without it. And I know
the HRT feeds the endo but what do you do I am damned if I do, damned if
I don't. Hang in there with you hubby he is just frustrated like we are
my husband and I go through periods like this too and it works its way
out. Do you have children I have two boys 12 and 14 and keeping up with
them wears me out.
Hugs to all
Karen
