Holly,
Thank you for making me feel better! It helps so much to know I'm not
the Lone Whiner. The online party sounds great, but aren't endo girls
supposed to avoid alcohol and estrogen rich foods like tomatoes? Now the
endo wants to ruin good parties, too! Oh well, enjoy today cause we'll
hurt tomorrow regardless of what we do. Best wishes for a better day
tomorrow.
