Thank you for your reply. I know exactly what tyou are talking about
with ovarian remnant syndrome. It was suposedly removed in march 06
then again in oct 07. Here it is aug. and yet again I need surgery.
Does it ever end. And why is the hospital that did all of theese
surgeries the ones saying that I,m drug seeking? dont they ever look up
the info you give them?
