>Sherry, How wonderful it is to see you back! I was so worried about you, I had e-mailed you on and off with no responce Now I know why. I am happy to see that you are o:k. Since I last heard form you in 10/99 I had another laporoscopy(3rd since having the hysterectomy and left ovary removed)in 11/99. Dr. did not find adhesions but found endometriosis so he removed the right ovary at this time.
He did not remove the endo due to it being to close to involving the
bowel. Pain still persists. Dr checked FSH and Estradiol levels and
the estradiol was elevated. Dr thinks I have ovarian remnant(s). He
started me on Lupron the end of March. I have not seen much if any
improvement with the LLQ pain .Since starting the lupron I have
developed joint pain and muscle aches along with all the lovely
menopause symptoms :) In my last operative report the Dr. stated that
he thought there may be endo in the antereior abdominal wall.Congrats on
getting the disability! I will talk to you soon. "FRIENDS THAT STICK
TOGETHER" Peggy
