I thought this was a message board to talk to others who have the same
problems as you. Am I mistaken? I have been to many doctors so I am
well aware of what I am going through right now.
I'm here to get a little info from women who have been there and done
that. I'm not here to scare anyone. I agree there is alot of info out
there that is scary and alot that is untrue. It's nice to be able to
talk to women who have been through the samethings and I know we're all
different and no one will have the same problems.
I've posted before about my TAH/BSO (I hope thats ok with you)that I'm
having friday and got great response. Apparently we struck a nerve with
you.
