No, you are not crazy!

No, you are not going crazy. I had the TL in September of 02. I have all the symptoms of PTLS most of these women speak of. I get sharp pains in my lower abdomen (mainly on my left side) which happen daily, my periods are so heavy, I cannot leave the house. I pass blood clots the size of baseballs, I feel fatigued ALL the time. I am on a constant emotional roller coaster , no sex drive, excessive moodiness, bloating, extreme weight gain that I cannot loose, my joints and muscles ache, but my children suffer more than I do. I find myself a nightmare to live with. Those poor kids are constantly wondering what I will gripe about next. My temper is bad and my patience are thin. I am unhappy with everyone around me, and cannot express love the way I used to. I have decided to make the trip half way across the country to visit Dr. Berger to get the TR done. I don't have insurance, I don't even have a savings account, but I will find a way to finance it. I owe it to my kids! We all need to file a class action lawsuit to offset the expenses WE have to endure for the lack of information we received at the time of TL's. The question remaining is who can we sue for such crimes? Who is directly responsible. I do not want to financally benefit, rather just be returned to my preTL state. To all of you women who have the same symptoms, my heart goes out to you and your families. I know what you are going through!
