I just wanted to reply to your email. I didn't manage to have children do I
recall implying that I had. I know that God blessed me extremely with two
beautiful daughters. I am also aware how difficult this disease is for
those unable to conceive. My husband's cousin had that same problem then
went on to have twins and then a son. God has his time for everything. I
signed on to this site for support, not to make people feel bad nor for them
to make me feel bad either. Unfortunately, this disease is more than that.
It is extremely painful, as I'm sure you already may know. I am looking for
a new way without drugs to handle this disease on a daily basis. The
physcial pain has become quite awful. The drugs and surgery have not worked
for me and I would like to be able to communicate with others that can
totally relate to my pain. I am sorry if you took my message in a different
frame than I intended it. I will be praying for you and please keep your
faith with God, because eventually, in His time, he answers prayer.
