I had no idea, nor do I know if I was exposed prenatally, but my mother had a miscarriage prior to my birth, and DES was used to prevent miscarriages. And in the past, I had severe anxiety attacks, another effect, according to the paper. And, certain, uh, physical effects as well ...<br /><br />I feel that if I found out about the DES it might be easier to deal with the guilt and shame that can be associated with all of this. Thank you for your honesty.<br /><br />LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691133169891570612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6724988320872415899.post-23720748493262412232010-11-24T21:22:23.324-05:002010-11-24T21:22:23.324-05:00What an harrowingly sad and enormously uplifting h...What an harrowingly sad and enormously uplifting happening for you Christen.
