    • About Me

      Iam a mother of one, a wife, and a daughter. I have been a medical assistant in the health care field for four years. I love helping patients feel better, I love making anyone feel better. I've spent the past two years learning about endometriosis and It's time to start talking to others about it. I can't believe how many of us there are out there.

    • Close Endometriosis

      I have had endometriosis pain for 6 years. I was just diagnosed with endometriosis 2 years ago. Every day is a struggle to convince not only myself but my family members that its not all in my head.

      Treatments

      Aygestin Not Working
      This is a form of progesterone. I do not do well with progesterone. It makes me moody,mad,depressed and just a nasty person all around. I had to discontinue it due to side effects.
      Extended-Cycle Birth Control Somewhat Helpful
      I have been on continuous birth control pills for aprox. 7 months. Im doing ok but sometimes I cycle and the pain starts all over again.
      Laser Surgery Not Working
      Had this two years ago. After healing was done, the pain was just as bad as if I never had it done.
      Lupron Working / Worked
      I was on Lupron for 6 months. It helped me considerably. I was frightened of the side effects but I ended up being one of the lucky ones. My appetite went away completely and I lost 15 pounds and I was less moody and the pain was decreased. The pain didnt go away entirely and it came back about two or three months after my treatments were done.
      Mirena Not Working
      I actually had this IUD in when I was diagnosed with endo. Somehow it made the pain worse and I had it removed when I had my laparoscopy.
      Surgery Not Working
      Had a laparoscopy with laser treatment two years ago. It did not help at all.
