The Medicine Program

My name is Tracy Kelley and I am 39 years old.From the time I turned 13, I have had severe ovarian pain more than three weeks out of every month. My first surgery was at 15 when doctos found an ovarian cist the size of an orange on one of my ovaries. I spent many nights in the emergency room going through tests,shots ,painful exams and a multitude of medications where the side effects were more intollerable than my pain. I was told that I was probably not going to have children yet I kept my faith. Though I eventually ended up having nine surgeries on my uterus,I now have three beautiful boys. Two years ago, I had my ninth surgery where I was diagnosed with severe endemitriosis and had another large cist removed. My surgeon accepted me as a candidate for a total hysterectomy and the surgery was done Feb of 2005. My recovery was horrific and the residue of depression was hard to handle. My doctor perscribed WellbutrinXR and Lithium Carbonate and in time ,I never felt better . I have No more pain and my life is so full that I hardly have time for everything my family likes to do. I feel like I am really living my life instead of egsisting. For that, I am forever grateful.
