Hey Katie Thanks for getting in touch w/ me. I am in the process of getting
an appt. w/ an Ob/Gyn/Endo. The triage nurse I spoke to on the phone said
that the Endo I have been seeing has really screwed up my system and she
felt like I had dropped several eggs at once and w/ the persistent pain I've
been having. I'm curled up on the couch right now in pain that one of my
cysts may have twisted, moved, or burst. Unfortunately the soonest she could
get me in is the middle of Sept. to te first of Oct. The endo and PCP won'ty
prescribe me anything for the pain and it makes it hard to work.Thanks for
listening and for the answers. God Bless to all Cysters.
