Hi Helen, I have not yet read through the 40 something emails that appeared on my screen but after reading about Tracie, I had to reply. My case is very similar, I had many laporoscopies, endo and c-sections then my left ovary removed in 1996 (cysts) and just about one year later, my complete hysterectomy. I also have increasing pain due to adhesions on my bladder wall and bowel. There is a chance that I may have more endo stimulated by the estrogen in my patch. My hysterectomy was done in 1997 and I have had pain increasing considerably since then. The latest suggestion by my gastro Dr.was to have another laporoscopy to remove the adhesions and I am scheduled August to talk about the referral he gave me at Stanford University. I don't like the thought of another surgery, it is likely that I may try to put it off until I cannot deal with it anymore. I wish Tracie and everyone else here patience, strength and endurance. May the Lord bless each one of you with complete healing and peace. In Friendship, Natalie
