I get ovarian cysts too. It's very common for women in their 40's and 50's because of the fluctuating hormones- primarily high levels of estrogen. Estrogen feeds the cysts- same way it does Endometriosis and some breast cancers. The cysts usually pop or dissipate on their own. There's a couple things your Dr. could do. You could be put on birth control pills and that way your hormones are controlled. They could also give you Progesterone pills to counteract the estrogen that leads to the cysts. I know Dr's won't do anything until you go 3 cycles or 3 months of bad ovulation pain. Lucky for me- my cysts always go away within that time:) And Ibuprofin is the only thing that stops the pain for me when I get them. Good luck!!

Thanks, Michael, for directing me to brands with low temp paints. In your experience, do these paints work as well as regular paints? Any issues with durability, etc? Faron, that's pretty useful basic info for me. I didn't know you only needed 4 hours dry time at above 50 degrees to make it work. If so, I might still have a window of opportunity - I think we might have some 60-70 degree days left, but I was wondering what to do about the colder night temps (going down into the 40's). Janet - Did you have a couple of hours of above-50 dry time when you painted your garage door? Or did it just plain not work? How has your paint job held up? Thanks everyone. Michelle
