Dear Jake,
It was hard to follow your message. I think you were trying to say that you
have endo which is causing you severe pain during your time of the month.
You mentioned something about "removing the lining" - I have had an almost
complete hysterectomy and may still have endo because I still have my
cervix. This means that the endo may still be causing adhesions to form. I
also stopped my period with meds. prior to my hysterectomy. It was great
not having a painful (EXTREMELY)period but the side effects were horrible
for me. I wish you all the luck in the world. I wish it were easier for us
suffering from adhesions to find "any" relief. I am seeing a new pain
management dr. in NYC. He has me taking several different meds. I am on an
anti depressant as well as a seizure medication both for pain. I am
also taking a low dose of morphine in the am and again in the pm. I do have
percacet for break through pain. For me, taking these narcotics is like
someone else taking a tylenol for a headache. I do not get a "high" from
any of my meds only pain relief. I do however get very tired every once in
a while which is a side effect of most of my meds. (I also take medicine
for my bladder since I have cystisis from the endo)I am almost pain free -
unfortunately, I'm not healed though. good luck to you, Diena

i finally found a really good doctor tat understands
that they do cause alot of pain and that i dont' want
to take narcs. so were looking at 3 or 4 alternative
routes for the time being. The first is to stop the
monthly cycle he seems to think that willl reduce some
of the pain becuase mine is so abnormail. and if tat
doesn't relvie enough of it then were going to look at
destroying the linning so i defitnly will not have one
anymoreits a surgical procdure but its outpatient and
your not totally under and theres no cutting
invoveled. that decision will be made in 6 weeks he
also mentioned celebrex i think it was for pain. and
ive heard other people on here mentionn it as welll.
*shrugs* im open to anythig and i finaly have a doctor
that listens and in oklahoma thats a rare thing.
