I have not been on any medications - outside of med to sleep - since December 2009! I must report that it's month to month, week by week, and day to day - depending on what my body is doing! I have been on supplements of evening primrose oil and magnesium phosphate, along with calcium w/Vitamin D, multivitamin, and folic acid for last few months. It's hard to tell if things are working, but I know I can manage through things and I'm beginning to predict when my painful times of month are coming or atleast better at reading some pre-symptoms so I can act fast! My last dr visit left me with the discovery of yet another fibroid growing, but this time on left side of uterus. I am bound and determined to not have surgery to have this removed, rather I want to try to research a natural treatment to help shrink fibroids or prevent from getting worse! I'm still working on this and I find that my area of PA does not really carry or support my "naturalist" thinking! It's ok, I'll keep persevering until I (maybe) find a natural way that works for me!

Ok, so to update...since I have been MIA for way too long! I am currently off all medications for endo and now my body is doing some serious reseting! Each month is interesting.....actually every 2 weeks is. Not too sure what i will do, but WOW the pain is pretty much breath taking when it hits for like 3 days then will ease, but still cramp! My dr in Pittsburgh wants me to have yet another surgery to see what we are dealing with, but I am on strike with surgery for atleast a year!!!! My family wants me to just get pregnant to see if that will work.....great thought, but I believe I have to be married first......oh yeah, and actually be dating someone to get to marriage!!! UGH!
Well, I have had yet another surgery! My gall bladder was going bad and finally went caputz this past week! I had gall surgery on Thursday and am home recovering. All went well and I am hopeful that now I can get my diet under control! I was planning to have the surgery in June but.... apparently gall bladder couldn't wait! Oh well, atleast its done!
Now, I am working on not only recovering but slowly easing back into eating!

Please keep me posted on how this works for you. I am also trying to do things with no pain meds (other than motrin), but I do take an antidepressant now. However, I also take Magnesium and Vitamin D, and I think the D has also helped my general mood. I will have to get some evening primrose oil.
Do you take any Omega 3 oil? I heard that can help. I am also trying to get back into Pilates more. I know my cramps act up and my back hurts, too.
I am really happy for you! I know this isn't an easy route, but I think it's great that you are trying so hard.
Seriously, please keep me posted. Feel free to email me directly if you want.
Thanks so much and good luck!
