Guest guest Posted August 12, 2001 Report Share Posted August 12, 2001 Alice - thanks for your words... It is nice to know that others feel the same way I do! And isn't it frustrating that we try so hard to hide our pain... And doctors still accuse us of being hypochondriacs? I haven't gone to a doctor in over 2 years because I'm tired of being told I'm faking my pain just to get attention... But thanks to you guys I have found the courage to make an appointment to get checked for endometriosis - I have all the symptoms, and horrible pain every month, to the point where I often go into shock and wind up in the ER with heart failure... Yet doctors have never believed me... But I think I've finally found a doctor who is willing to help! Niko - loved your comment about 3 letters " FMS " ... For me it's CFS and Lyme, but yes it does get tiring explaining to people what you're living with!!! Steve - thanks for the encouraging words... That's the most inspiring thing to me - people who live with pain every day but still manage to be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
