Welcome Vicky

[Guest guest]

Hi Vicky and welcome to our family here:)

I am sorry to hear about all of the pain you are going through but glad your

dr is sympathetic. Ive seen many a times where the drs either dont want to

prescribe meds to help or those who say just gt through the pain. It isnt

that easy and having a great dr is a blessing!!

Im so glad you have a son but i can imagine he must keep you going..which is

a good thing:) I wonder how it will be once i finally have a healthy baby

but know that you can get through anything and children are such a blessing.

One day ill have one lol.

I hope to chat with you sometime and know we are all here for support!
