dear anonymous,
I am really sorry to hear that you feel not supported and even more
sadly have felt attacked.I am new to this forum but not mew to endo-I
had no idea that places like this even existed but am glad that I have
found one.I believe that people should support eachother(esp. If they
have the same problem)not pass judgement-there is enough of that in the
world already.I recently read some harsh emails on the forum to a girl
who was simply just asking for advice but was relieved to see that some
people apoligised to her on behalf of those who wrote the emails.
I wish you luck and hope that you find the support that you need, endo
is a hard thing to deal with.
love and prayers
Allison:)
