Andrea,
Woo hoo! I'm glad you got an answer! Don't worry about the laproscopy. I
know it is nerve wracking to be out of control of yourself and not know
what is happening. It really is an easy proceedure though. You'll have
a few uncomfortable days, but just take the pain pills and sleep.
I;ve had my thyroid and all that good stuff checked, no luck there. I'm
heading to a new allergist next week, then to a new dermatologist if
that doesn't work!
