Well the pelvic thing I've got is permanent. I've had it since age 12 and they diagnosed me at age 18 after 2 years of tests and then told me it's for life, we've no idea why women get it and there's no cure.
It wasn't very good news to get when I was only 18. There's an operation I can have which *might* cure it but it's risky and they don't know if it would work. X absolutely balks at the idea.
I was on steroids (topical) and ametripteline (sp?) but both lowered my immune system and the drugs made me sick and sleepy so I came off those at age 19 or so. I was getting colds every 3 weeks and flu every few months so I started taking vitamin C and that stopped that.
Sex was only possible on the steroid though, so it did help. Then I had my DD1 child birth made sex possible without drugs - yippee!
Then every baby I had made the symptoms ease a bit more. Now I have had 4 babies, it is at it's most reasonable, and it's possible to have a decent SL (or it was possible, before I was single).
I don't use the dr's anymore as nothing they did helped a lot. I'm trying out homeopathy at the moment.
As well as this I also have a bad back which I think was caused by pregnancy, migraines roughly once every 2 months and stress related headaches nearly every day.
Who wouldn't be stressed by all this court stuff and divorce, LOL.
Then of course there's my disability but I don't consider that a health problem, it's just me.
I put up with stuff - there have been bigger upsets in life, especially recently.
