      I tried YAZ and thought it was awful! I switched to Seasonique and it worked for me. Good luck!

    • Close Endometriosis

      I was diagnosed in Oct 06 with Endo after a lap.

      Treatments

      Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      They could not get it all, some was attached to my uterus, and I still want to try to have children so they left that. I had stage 4/5.
    • Close Celiac Disease

      I do not have this, my husband does. He was diagnosed Jan. 08. I am on here because I am supporting him, and I do most of the cooking.

      Treatments

      Gluten Free Diet Working / Worked
    • Open Acne

      Have had adult acne from the time I was 18. Got it all over my upper body. I was so ashamed I did not go to a doctor for years. Finally 3 years ago I went to a dermatologist and they put me on spironolactone to hinder the testosterone. It did wonders. I was on it for 2 1/2 years, my case is so bad. I am now trying to control it with Yaz, which I am on for endometriosis.

      Treatments

      Dermabrasion Somewhat Helpful
      Helped reduce scarring on my chest/back. Too bad my insurance quit paying for it.
      Aldactone Working / Worked
      This worked wonders for me, I am surprised that other people aren't prescribed this. I am on Yaz right now and it is only half as helpful as the spironolactone. Too bad I can't take them in combination but I have to have the yaz for endo. I am sad that I had to come off the spironolactone, nothing else I have ever tried has come close to helping as much.
    • Open Oral Herpes

      I have gotten these since a pre-teen. I also break out in my nose. What a pain.

      Treatments

      Valtrex Working / Worked
      Started using this last year. It helps if you manage to take it right away.
    • Open Environmental Allergies
      Type of allergy: Dust

      I started getting symptoms in my late 20's. After having medicine after medicine thrust upon me by doctors, none of which helped, I got tested last month by an allergist. Funny how the doctors would rather give you a medicine than finding out what it is you are allergic to.

      Treatments

      Allegra Not Working
      Allergy Shots Considering
      Clarinex Not Working
      Nasal Irrigation Not Working
      Nasonex Not Working
      Singulair Not Working

    • Open Trying To Conceive

      just trying now at age 36, with Endometriosis. Not sure how this is going to go, but hopeful.
