I have been reading the different messages posted to this forum and have
never replied to them. So far I have just been reading. If whoever
wrote the message of being affected for 15 yrs and wanting a
hysterectomy would like to post a message with your email address I
would be happy to share with you my experiences. I have been affected
by endo, adhesions and poly cystic ovaries, ovarian remnant syndrome for
the past 30 years! I had a complete hysterectomy back in 1996 and still
today suffer today and most everyday with pain, abdominal swelling
etc...all the usual symptoms you have described. I am off of work now,
but will check back in the AM.
