Thank you- that does help! I will not be suprised with whatever the
diagnosis is. I am sorry to hear it is beginning to fail you. Can
adhesions be removed? Still being new to this I have a lot to learn.
They sound painful. Do you have kids? If not did you wan any? I am
preparing for my monthly hardcore pain this week. It actually started
today and wasn't supposed to start until Thursday to Friday. It's odd
how I can be uncomfortable all month and still experience such severe
pain with the start of my period. You know what I'm refering to. Well,
have a great rest of your weekend and thanks for responding!
