I have had this disease affecting my life for more than 15 years and I
too cannot take it. I don't plan to have children but I am hesistant
about getting a hyst. because I don't want to go through early
menopause, etc.
But I also thougt that getting a hyst. does nt at all guarantee that
the pain will be gone? Am I wrong?
