I may let you know, but may forget. You can always visit my forum for
updates as I am always talking about the pains of endo and candida. So
many other girls have the same as me-candida with the endo and on top of
that many other similiar health problems-the same as I read here.
3 days? Well I serve an awesome God who can and has done wonders! :) :)
