My 15 yr old son was shot with a 12 gauge shot gun in the face. He is 2 weeks post op for the mandibular reconstruction. They doctors don't seem very confident in how to repair the mid face area. We have thought about a transplant, but are worried about the long term meds that go along with it. Also wether he will still look like himself, or someone else. What is your medication regimen like?

Any info would be appreciated.

Jakob did it himself. He doesn't remember anything from that day. He says he isn't suicidal now, and wasn't before, but it's really difficult to think of a scenario where it was an accident.

I too had that issue. I never really mentioned it to my gynecologist because I thought it was a psychological thing. There were times when intercourse wasn't painful at all, then there were times when it was unbearable. I ended up having a complete hysterectomy after an ovarian cyst ruptured. Turns out I had a severe case of endometriosis. Now there is no pain at all with intercourse. I could have saved myself 9 years of stress if I had spoken to my doctor more openly.
