Here's my story:

I have been WTT for almost 2 years. I seem to acumulate a new health problem every 2 months. I have: a misaligned pelvis, Carpel Tunnel in my left hand, AND a permanently damaged knee (due to intense exercise work outs). This worries me because I don't know what shape I'll be in, in 3-5 years. Will I be able to have a baby? Will I be able to deal with a toddler? I'm scared As Endo that turns into cancer runs in my family. My mom and aunt BOTH had to have complete hysterectomies, and my grandmother had stage 4 cervical dysplasia (stage before cancer) they caught it in time though. Anyway, my husband doesn't understand, and I'm kinda bitter because he's made me wait so long. Now I have to wait at leass another 1.5-3 years to get his bachelors and a BETTER job.

Enough rant, I could go on ALL day!

I have read these forums for a while, and I always feel so ALONE. I'm happy to finally see an updated forum like this.
