Thanks a bunch, Lisa. I'll be checking the site out this weekend. The
"cyst thing" seems to have shrunk now and hasn't been painful for about
a week or so. I've had 'cysts' or whatever they are, there many many
times before; they usually hang around for awhile, sometimes burst or
shrink on their own, once had to get it cut out (yuck). and yes, very
very painful.... As for this last one that the obgyn said looked like
endo - I was soo stunned when she said that I didn't even ask - how's
that for duh?!? I'll ask when I see her on Thursday. Wow, am I gonna
set her day off to a good start - a tonne of questions and complaints!
luv and painfree wishes, Amy
