Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
I was just diagnosed with endo in September of this year. But for the past year and a half I have had constant bouts of rupturing ovarian cysts. I was put on DepoProVera and it has stopped me from forming and rupturing cysts but the side effects are not great. I have been having terrible mood swings, some days I just cant control my emotions. I become such a mess and literally cant function. I am seeing the Dr. on Wednesday and have decided not to go on Lupron because I have enough mood problems now. Any advice on how to treat the mood swings and what other ways there are to treat the endo?

I wouldnt do the lupron shot either you will put alot of weight on too!! tha tis what i didnt like about it. There is birth control pills and other birth control stuff they can put you on to try. but they also can put you on some meds for your mood swings too. Just talk to your doctor about it.

I hated the depo injection myself and everything that you are experiencing is what i experienced. I also put on a lot of weight and i still bled throughout the treatment. Like the other lady who has advised they can put you on other methods if this treatment isn't the right one for you. They can play around with the treatment until they find one that is more suited to you. so you should go back to your doctor and say your not happy. Good luck.

A few years ago, I was on Depo and I cried constantly. I just completed 6 months of Lupron and I cried constantly as well. I would ask your Dr. if there are any other alternatives. Fortunately, my endo did clear up from the Lupron, but it was tough dealing with the mood swings.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
