    • About Me

      I work in the medical field. Was diagnosed with endo in march of this year, spent my birthday in the hospital after I went to the ER because I couldn't stand the pain any longer. They thought my appendix had ruptured, but it was fine, they took it anyway. Had my surgery to remove all the endo in July, hasn't gotten much better since. Just trying to take it one day at a time, although I often feel lost more times than not.

      Was diagnosed with Endo in March of this year, went to the ER and ended up having emergency surgery (they thought my appendix had ruptured). Had the laser surgery to remove it end of June. I feel like it has taken control of my life in such a short time. Still trying to work though the fact that I may have this disease the rest of my life (or at least hopefully only until menopause?).

      Treatments

      Extended-Cycle Birth Control Not Working
      Experience with Lybrel was horrible, bled for 3 months straight, still with the constant pain.
      Fibrovan Somewhat Helpful
      I have no idea if this helped or not, I took it for awhile, but ended up having laser surgery anyway. No side effects that I could tell.
      Laser Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      Its been about 3 months, had a hard recovery, still having this stupid constant stabbing pain on my right side, still hoping that it will eventually go away...
      Provera Somewhat Helpful
      I don't know if I would consider staying on the Depo, I have been spotting constantly since I've been on it, and might be causing my anxiety symptoms to worsen. Only problem is I don't know what else to try.
      Surgery Working / Worked
