Belinda-
Have you ever been told you had cysts? It kind of sound like you may
have a cyst and it could possibly be leaking or has burst. I've been
through this many times. Do you have a fever? You should try your
hardest to get into your gyno.
As a mom, I know what you mean about medication. Is there anyone who
can help out? We don't have anyone were we live so DH and I rely on
phone calls and movies for those times. Mine is 4. I will be on line
for a bit so if you have any question e-mail me.
