    • About Me

      My name is Rachel, I'm 27 years old and I live in Lexington, Kentucky. I was diagnosed with stage III (or moderate) endometriosis on April 22, 2009 during a laparoscopic procedure to remove an ovarian cyst. I have suffered from extremely painful periods since my first cycle and I'm thankful to finally be getting some answers.

      I'm 26 years old and was diagnosed on April 22, 2009 with stage III (or moderate) endometriosis during a laproscopic procedure to remove an ovarian cyst.

      Treatments

      Danazol Considering
      Lupron Considering
      I'm leaning towards the three month shot of this medication. I cannot use birth control due to the risk related to estrogen and my type of migraines so this medication is the best fit.
