    • Get Well Soon!

      From Lindsaypsl October 14

      I'm sorry to hear of all your troubles! It just never ends does it? I haven't felt well since I had a cyst rupture! Errr...Not to mention my bladder pain that is daily. I hope you feel better.

      I remember having constipation, but I was taking pain meds daily so I assumed it was because of that. My main problem was urinating. I was diagnosed with IC as a secondary condition to Endo, so my bladder was extremely painful for months. I ended up having to see a urologist for meds for IC. Yes, it took 7 weeks before I was strong enough to go to work & I work behind a desk! So, yes it took awhile sweetie. Feel free to ask any questions you have!

      First of all, have you called the CEC and told them? If so, what did they say? I was out of work 7 weeks after my surgery with the CEC versus 3 weeks with prior surgeries. Remember, you had a serious surgery. They actually cut the Endo out. Your body has to heal from that. Plus, you said you had your appendix out. 2 weeks is nothing sweetie! Take your time and relax. Allow yourself to actually heal. My regular gyno/surgeon saw my pictures from the CEC and said, "You are going to take months to feel normal again. I would not even begin to know how to do what he did. He knows what he is doing." Sure enough it took awhile, but I have zero pain now!

    • Close Endometriosis

      Same as above...the biggest areas I am upset about are being depressed, lack of motivation, weight fluctuation, pain, breakthrough bleeding, cramps, been told by doc to see psychiatrist, told by ER nothing is wrong with me. I am in pain constantly. After 10 years on pain meds, last week I have stopped everything but Advil. I am down right pissed at the doctors for providing only a few methods of help: pregnancy,lupron, laparoscopy and the pill. Can't get pregnant, all the othrs have failed.

      Treatments

      Aygestin Not Working
      took with lupron shot. weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings.
      Extended-Cycle Birth Control Not Working
      After last laparoscopy, i have break through bleeding and cramps.
      Surgery Not Working
      4th surgery in July of this year. Terrible.
      Running Somewhat Helpful
      Makes me feel less depressed. However, lack of motivation makes it hard to keep up.
      Ambien Working / Worked
