My mom is a retired R.N. who went through nurses training during the mid fifties in Rochester, MN
Even back then she thought the idea of Wandering Womb Syndrome, was ludicrous.
I was 8 when they sent her to the psych ward for three weeks.
She kept telling even the Mayo doctors that something was wrong with her stomach
area, but they wouldn't listen. They kept asking her spooky questions like:
"Well, you describe it as a pulling sensation. What do you think might be pulling at you?"
It's a wonder she kept her sanity at all.
Four years later they finally did an exploratory surgery and found a double hernia.
Great topic, Jewels. I hope to add more later.
