I know that this might be a non important question especially because we have more important things to worry about like finding the right meds and remission but at the same time, especially as a woman, I find myself self concious of my thymectomy scar at times. It just may be because I had 2 thymectomys one at 16 and the other at 18 so the scar is pretty thick and noticable and as a teen and into my early twentys to avoid all the stares (which I still do get sometimes) and questions or more like assumptions of my "heart problem" people automtically thought I had. I just learned to cover it up either with my clothes or bring my hair forward and cover it up so it couldnt be seen whenever I went out anywhere. Even now that im in my mid thirtys im not as bad with it because it is part of me but at the same time I still have a bit of a complex about it. Have any of you out there felt this way?
