Hi,
I feel your pain!!
Oh have you at least considered natural progesterone cream? Health food
store, I use progestacare. It has saved me from any surgery, perhaps
worth a simple try even if you do not believe in it or your Dr. does
not! It took a month to start working for me & progressively got better.
I also have it in my "V" & near my bowels & bladder...from the symptoms
but I am mainly symptom free now mostly because of the cream but also
from other vitamins, diet changes...
I hope you feel better!
