I have read the symptoms, and I have all of them. I recently learned this condition has a name, and I'm scheduled for an appointment with my OB-GYN as a starting point. I'm interested in knowing from those who have been treated for the symptoms which treatments worked the best for them specific to a symptom. I'm just learning, but I'm very hopeful to have stumbled onto something that will be helpful. Thank you for understanding my total lack of overall knowledge. It is a little disheartening to have had all of the symptoms for so long without a member of the medical profession noticing and linking my health to this.

I appreciate any feedback.

Thank you,
