LC, Thank you so much for your post, I truly thought i was alone, i was starting to think it was just me, I can so relate to the part you said about being intimate with your husband, or just even hugging someone, for me i have lived like that for the last 11 years of my life.........I have a beautiful 2 yr. old Grandbaby, and he hugs on my legs and raises his lil arms up to me and tells me UP GRAMMY, and I cant even do that.........Today is my breast ultra-sound, and I am scared of what they might find, but I am always afarid of the unknown, i will keep you all posted, asking for prayers that I get the go ahead to have these things taken out............Still looking for info on how they remove these as they are submuscular, where will they cut, and the down time..........Thank U all. Mary
