Hi Mendy, so nice meeting you and welcome to a nice support system! It really burnt my buns when I read the part in your email what your doc said about your nasty discharge because you had your son at an early age and you were a "bad girl".....grrrrrrrrrrr - let me at him, just one minute alone with this person who dare calls himself a doctor. Now, how would that doctor that made you wait 8 years for a diagnosis have his penis with warts or cuts on it and not get the right help for 8 years? I could go on and on, but I don't want to depress you with my anger towards the "doctors" who didn't take care of you. GRRR, yeppers, I'm pretty steaming hot with what you went through, and it was so unnecessary too. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that crap! It's not your fault, it those so called doctors. I'm sure some of the lovely people here on the board will be sending you emails with the Germany information. You can also look up Germany info. on this wonderful web site. If you don't know how to do that, let me know and I can try to help you out. It's wonderful to meet you, sad to know that we met because of devil pain and nasty adhesions. Here's to a near future cure for adhesions....<<<<<raising my glass of Gingerale, trying not to break my glass or spill any of it>>>>> CLINK.... Love and hugs, ~Chrissie xo's
