To all in Germany,
I am so happy to hear all the good news over there, a miracle that this
wonderful dr can help so many of you!!!!! And Helen, we have been in
touch seems like SO long. You are the one that has kept me going many a
times over the past 2 years I had no one to turn to!
I am so disgusted in my gyn, I had to call to ask him about increasing
my premarin, and being my referring dr to the pain clinic, he did not
even ask how the toher things with me are going! That is definaitely
feeling like you are being brushed off! He knows I guess he cannot help
me anymore, but I feel like the least these drs can do is try to follow
your progress and keep up with how you are doing! Oh well, I am trying
to get through this. Not working, was awake til 3 in the morning, first
time in awhile!
I am sorry I got off the subject, I am just so terribly glad to hear of
all the good news for all of you girls that were so strong to make such
a long trip to get the help you need. We are prayign for your safe trip
home!
Love you all,
Toni
