When I was 19 I had what they though was an ectopic pregnancy. They operated and found that I had severe adhesions on my bowel, which was totally obstructed and spastic. There were no scopes, Cat scans or MRIs in those days so they couldn't see what was going on without opening me up. And of course the surgery created more adhesions.

Wisdon teeth? Out at 16 because they were impacted.

Lesley,

I also had an ectopic pregnancy as a young lady, tons of adhesions, stage 4 endometriosis, my fallopian tubes were destroyed. Adenomyosis as well. Large segment of my bowel had fused to my uterus and had to be carefully removed.
