So sorry to hear your struggles. I see you live in NM. There is a Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona that specializes in endo. If you can manage to get there I would highly recommend it. Also, if you could even go to the nearest large town if it is not in the same hospital affiliation as your town, then you would get a new perspective. Excision surgery should be on your list of options unless a specialist considers the hysterectomy your best option. I wouldn't assume those are your only options if provided to you by a general MD or ob/gyn who is not a specialist in endo. Best wishes to find someone who will listen to you.
Endone? Thank you - i will look this up. Iam sorry to hear ur struggle. Its HARD real HARD! And i know how life changing it all is. Doesnt seem fair or even humane. Its stuff like this that ill never understand.
Sorry to hear that you are in such pain! At the moment I am struggling with uterine Fibroids, at least a dozen.Have had irregular heavy paiful periods since age 11. About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with endometriosis and had a lap and d and c. Was on Primolut up until 2 weeks ago when they discovered fibroids. At the moment I have no children and have considered a hysterectomy, however its not an option at this stage by my gyno. On Esmya an waiting to see results. In the mean time dying with unbearable pain and quality of life and mood is terrible! Pain management is Endone at the moment. Hope you find your relief!
Arbonne? I will research that. Thank you!
I'm so sorry to hear of all of your surgeries and still in pain. You found out a lot sooner than I did. Was always in and out of the hospital and did office for all kinds of pain, weight loss, and then the state thinking I had Crohn's disease. Well I'm 33 and was finally diagnosed with level 4 endo. It sucks and we moved and I'm having a hard time finding a dr. That specializes in endo. So I looked into other health programs. I tried the 30 day challenge with arbonne and I have been feeling amazing!! I believe we can really fuel our bodies with the right stuff and help ease this disease. Hope this helps. Praying for you.
