Close Endometriosis

I was diagnosed with endo after my first laperoscopy in 1998. I have been on Lupron, the pill, changed my diet to whole foods diet, and have had 3 laperoscopies in 10 yrs. I have 2 children and about 2 yrs after having each child, my endo symptoms would ome back and gradually get worse each month. I am now at the point that I have maybe 1 good week out of the month. Trying to void another sugery, I have gone back to eating whole foods and pray this will help. It did years ago.

Treatments

Aygestin Not Working

Did not help my symptoms.

Progesterone Cream Working / Worked

This helped tremendously.

Surgery Working / Worked

3 laperoscopies in 10 yrs. Helps for a couple of years then symptoms gradually come back and get worse each month.

Lupron Working / Worked

It worked as far as symptoms because I was in a suedo-menopause for about 9 months. However the side-effects were terrible. (night sweats, hot flashes, memory loss, bone loss, loss of concentration, personality change.) Would not use it again. I had one injection per month for 6 months.
