Close Endometriosis

i have severe endometriosis. it has traveled other organs and is in my bladder and chest. i have been hospitalized twice with blood in my chest and a collasped rt lung. without health insur. doctors have been very stingy with care and im looking for some alternative forms of treatment.

Treatments

Aygestin Working / Worked

yes it worked, by putting me into temp menapause side effects were hot flashes, night sweats mostly i didnt notice mood swings.

Femara Too Soon to Tell

this med has been recommended but i cant afford it w/o insur. a discount prog would not give me the med because they said that its intended use is for breast cancer prevention not endometriosis.

Progesterone Cream Not Working

i bought the cream over the counter. it made me start to feel very nausous so i discontinued its use.

Provera Working / Worked

currently i am on the depo provera shot. i used it once before as just birth control years ago and didnt have any side effects but this time ive had a lot of break through bleeding. so now i take low doses of estrogen to help thicken my lining.
