Please don't stay away..After I had my first hysterectomy, I came online as well, got a few bad responses, and decided to leave. I'm back again, a couple surgeries later, and I realize I need the opportunity to be able to listen to other womens experiences,look at what other people are going through, and know I am not alone in my pain, mental exhaustion, and what ever else this disease throw's at us. I agree, there are some harsh opinons out there, sometimes too rough for some of us who have not yet healed and are still searching for relief. I am fragile still, even though I know i have experienced so much to make me strong. Karla, you were right in the way you feel. After I read the response I was taken aback as well. Then I realized someone is hurting pretty bad to feel so strong...no excuse for the harshness, but hopefully it will recognized and some help can be directed her way. Once again, Please don't go...your experiences and opinons are important too. Take care.. Lisa O
