...and everything is working great!
Just thought I would do a quick follow-up at my 5 1/2 month point. No pain, no bleeding, everything regular. It's amazing. I have to say that the one thing I have to be super careful about is really making sure that *hygiene* is perfect. I am training for a 10k right now and keeping everything *ahem* clean and dry is of utmost importance or I do get some minor discomfort. But that is it - nothing else even comes close to the amount of pain I was in and the amount of bleeding I was having before LIS. I can actually have a real life again!
Again, if you're on the fence about LIS, find a good CRS and get checked out. I was told by an earlier dr. that it wouldn't be good for me to do based on the problems I had post childbirth, but that was flat out untrue and I'm so glad that I didn't just believe him and NOT take care of it! I just wanted to add my voice to the group and possibly help another person make the big decision. I'm so glad that I had this group to help me make my decision ~ just paying it forward now!!! This is the best place to do it. LIS and AF doesn't come up at all in my PTA meetings or really, anywhere else for that matter! :)
