So please don't let them talk you into a hysterectomy. And surgery for adheions can cause more pain that health. Sorry to be so blunt, but you need to know. Keep your chin up. Science is doing great things. Maybe someday soon there will be a cure, and please don't be afraid of opiates for pain cures, they help and if you're as strong as you seem to be, you can get off when your pain is gone. The hard part is finding a doctor who will give you adequate pain relief. Most will let you suffer and suffer and suffer. If they were in such pain, they would be self-medicating themselves immediately. Sorry to sound so bitter. I try to be "joyful for the things I have," but its hard. Love, Sally
