Close Endometriosis
I was just diagnosed with Stage IV endometriosis. My dr removed some but couldn't get all of it. She sent me to a specialist who just wanted me to wait. We're looking for a new specialist. Prior to Sept 2006, I had no symptoms that I recognized as endo but in hindsight, it all seems related.
Treatments
- Surgery Working / Worked
- I had surgery last week in Atlanta. The doctors at the CEC were awesome. They had to remove my left ovary & tube as well as a lot of endo. Hopefully this will make things better. It's been over a year since my surgery and thinks are still going well.

Close Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years ago but was never really given any treatment. I take advil if I'm in pain but trying to stay active seems to help most.
Treatments
- Massage Working / Worked
- I always feel better after a massage and the feeling usually remains for a few weeks.
Open Environmental Allergies
Type of allergy: PollenI've always joked that I'm allergic to the air but now that my doctor has me on a full regiment of allergy meds and I'm not having as much trouble. I also am not getting as many sinus infections or episodes of bronchitus I can't take anything with pseudoephedrine because it cause insomnia
Treatments

- Singulair Working / Worked
