Hi Nomes,
These websites may help you while you make a decision. The first one is a group of women who had RAI and regret it -please don't get scared, just try to learn from their experience and the medical information they post, as their mission is to inform people before they do RAI.

This other one has also a lot of information, it's the story of Lisa and what happened to her

Hope this helps

I thought I"d have a quick look at the sites you sent before I do the dishes - 2 hours later and the dishes are still sitting there and I've only just begun to explore it all.
I have been a major stress head this week with everything. I think if I research everything I will be able to calm down and feel like the end of the world isn't coming afterall.
I have a liitle baby girl, plus 2 boys (ages 3 & 4). My husband and I just moved halfway across the country away from all family and friends to be youth leaders in a church. I feel isolated and freaked out. I also feel guilt for not entertaining my kids that well. I am a walking zombie all day and at night I suddenly get fidgety and stay up all night wasting time doing nothing in particular.
It is hard to think that I will ever get through this. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but right now I am stuck in the tunnel.
I REALLY need to find a good doc or endo.
You have been very encouraging to me and extremely helpful as I would not have found those sites on my own. At least I will have something to do tonight!
Thanks for your words, you're not alone! and although it seems impossible at the moment, it'll be over :-) I think that the stress also doesn't help and it can be stressful to be in a new town, away from your family. I'm really sorry you're going thru this situation, but please have faith that you'll be on the path to recovery soon! and hopefully, with God's help, all of this will be in the past. I really, really hope you can find a good Dr. Ask in your church, they probably know someone that can help you. Best wishes!
