I came out with another script for vicodin, 2 in two weeks, a script for one diflucan weekly, and an apology that went something like this, "I'm really sorry. Your condition is not only bad, it's extremely complex. This is something you'll be dealing with everyday. If it's not one thing, it will be another. I'm sorry. We can treat your symptoms, but your only alternative is a total hysterectomy."
So... That's pretty sweet. Obviously I'll be getting a second and possibly a third opinion. I guess I'm posting because I don't really know how I'm supposed to feel about this. It's so final. I'm just putting it out there. It feels numb and empty. I've lost so much time to being sick. Do I take more of that, or do I go through menopause at age 25?
