>I am in Minnesota. I don't really want to go on SSI,I just want to feel better,and go back to normal. But I can't work in the condition I am in right now. I do know that I do not have adhesion's,I had a Lap last month,and none were found,although my Gyno was looking for them,and Endo. I am just exhausted,cold and week. I am hungry,but can't eat,and I am mad. But thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated.
