Close Endometriosis
I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 23. I found this to be a blessing and a curse. Finally I did not feel crazy and there was a reason for my pain for the last 10 years. Now at 26 I have had two surgeries and still am battling severe pain. I feel like a hormone lab rat because there is not one birth control or hormone replacement therapy out there that I have not tried. With in the last 6 months I was diagnosed with Polycystic ovarian disease. Grrrrrrrrrr
Treatments
- Extended-Cycle Birth Control Not Working
- Horrible spotting and then even more horrible periods. Lot's of pain and swelling
- Hysteroscopy Considering
- I am considering the choice of a hysterectomy. I do not have children yet so the choice is very hard to make
- Laser Surgery Not Working
- Surgery in 2007 and surgery in 2008. Both went very well for about 6 months and then it all grew back
- Megestrol Somewhat Helpful
- Was very helpful to stop my never ending cycle but not something I would recomend for an extended period of time
- Mirena Not Working
- Mirena is the Devil. I had irregular bleeding for 6 months and the worse cramps I think I have ever had in all my years of having periods
- Provera Not Working
- Made me very very sick!!! Lot's of vomiting and very tired. No relief for the pain and still had a period on it.
Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
I am trying to live a normal life and am also facing another surgery and would like to talk with other women out there who understand what life is like with PCOS.
Treatments
- Depo-Provera Somewhat Helpful
- Horrible cramps, bloating, and just felt crappy
- Laparoscopic Surgery Working / Worked
- I had two and for a brief moment I was pain free! I would not say that it did not help it just was not a permante fix
- Metformin Not Working
- I felt sick all the time on metformin. I was also so dizzy I felt like I was going to faint everytime I stood up or sat down
- Oral Contraceptives Not Working
- Horrible cramps, bloating, and just felt crappy. Spotted or bled during all treatments
- Provera Not Working
- I was so sick to my stomach that I basically threw up every time I would wake up, and I still had bad pelvic pain with periods
