Boy, I'm absolutely exhausted after reading every single post. We all seem to be experiencing the same symptoms.

I am turning 46 in Feb. I was abused sexually when a young child and have had issues my whole life due to such. I have Endometriosis, Poly Cystic Ovaries, Fibralmialgia, Neurotony, Type I Diabetes and due to new symptoms had just been diagnosed with Herpes (tho I have no indications where I would have contracted that as abstained for 7 years b/4 dating my husband for 3 years- so I do not believe this to be true), I also have a Marina IUD that is overdue for removal. I also have had many laporscopy's (shaving uterine wall & cervic of cysts with a hot wire - not fun) I have not been to GYN for 3 years as had no insurance, but am making appt tomorrow.
For approx (since b/4 the herpes disgnosis) 3 yrs, I have been experiencing similar symptoms. I have/had never had any kind of infection as I have grown up with either having no mensus, constant spotting or the extreme (w/ clotting and gushing) mensus (needless to say I spent only 50% of my time in class during high school).
Symptoms have worsened since the beginning. Like I said b/4, I thought I might have a yeast infection due to discharge and itching. But NOT,- I have both swollen labias, clitoris, a discharge (babywipes), labia and clitoris bleeding, slighlty/occassionaly pinkish discharge (most likely due to labia walls seeping), severe itching, pain, discomfort at all times, I occasionaly have what I call a sharp twing pain on my right side when I get up too fast (this has been happening since the birth of my son 23 years ago and my GYN and I just chalked this up to be associated to a 52 stich apesiotomy), but just last night experienced this on my left side for the first time ever. Since I am highly alergic I have addressed/tried to- several issues ((toilet paper, laundry soap, bath soap, lotions, condoms, fabrics, diet (diet control diabetic)smoking, alcohol) to no avail.
I believe there is something we are missing. I have an idea for those of you who want to pursue this. My son had been diagnosed with a rare brain tumor at the age of 4. We were lucky enough to get him into a study. I had no idea this study was wordlwide. I talked to 13 specialists from all around the world. Thay all spent 4 hours with me on the phone and all asked the exact same questions. All data was entered into a "BRAIN MASTER COMPUTER". This computer took all info and spit out the best possible course of treatment for my son which I can really say from my heart saved my son's life. I propose, when the originator of this forum completes the website, that we all answer a questionaire (it will be long and extensive) covering all aspects of our lives. Because in my gut, I know there is something that connects us all.
Please keep posting. Please try to have a wonderful rest of your day.
Blessings, Peace, Love & Light.
