Hi Tracy and all
I'm catching up on a week's worth of mail here, so have no idea what
this is about....but I think what you've said about the recognition of
the pain of endo is very valid. As for your "PS" may i plead that it
applies to me too :) however, I'm to have my 3rd of 6 next week so I
may say things once in a while that are 'lupron induced'.
Take care, everyone
luv, Amy
