tina’s story

May 19, 2013

I first posted with a flare-up story in Dec of 2008. Since then I have had numerous flares and constant draining. Sometimes I can go 6 mons without pain and draining sometimes its 2 weeks and requires loads of meds to keep me half way sane.

I have had both open and closed procedures- 5 to be exact. And I think I am finished with surgery. I am going to live with it. because the surgeries never worked. You know I have a great behind. Its a shame that I have to deal with this and am too embarrassed to share this with anyone. At 45 yrs old I am tired of dealing with it all
