Good find! I've heard over the years about mesh controversy and know some endometriosis patients have gotten it. I hadn't seen this report. I just linked back to your site since I'm sure some of my readers will be interested in this information. Jeanne Sandy,

Hooray! THANK YOU soooooooooooooo much for your support of endometriosis awareness!! Our efforts for Endometriosis Awareness Month are paying off. Word is getting around. It's very exciting! The endometriosis-related tweets on twitter (coded with #endo) are catching on quickly. The more signatures we can get on the endo petition the better.... because we include the petition link whenever we contact the media. Too many myths about endo have swirled around for TOO MANY years! We need to get endometriosis FACTS into the mainstream media. We have many methods of attack in our quest to get endo facts covered in the media. If anyone has media contacts that can help us in this effort, please come and see me at my blog (linked above in Sandy's post). THANK YOU SO MUCH SANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't give up on trying for disability. Keep going for it until you get it. It is worth it once you win. It is so hard to try and to explain to others what it's like to be so miserable all of the time. I have been with my husband for almost 15 years and while he is mostly supportive, he still gets upset if I'm moody or grouchy because I feel so bad. Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Take care. Hi Lori, I seriously feel for your situation because I have been there. Don’t give up on trying for disability. Keep going for it until you get it. It is worth it once you win.
