I returned back from Germany and felt great as stated in my last email
up until I got my first period and the symptoms are horrible, the nausea
is killing me. I have had a period now for almost 2 weeks straight. My
adhesions are gone at the second look and I don't have the adhesion pain
but now endometriosis pain. I originally had surgery in the usa on
August 19, 2009 and felt more sick than ever. They said, they removed
the adhesions. I then went to Dr. K and he found a mass of
endometriosis as well as the adhesions, the endo was so bad it takes 8
years to get that way. It was parrell to my adhesions my appendix area.
He cut and disected out the endo, the pictures are so awful to look at,
almost like large open sores that are deep in the flesh. Mine were 5mm,
the uterus is 8 cm by 5cm pretty small, so those are large sores. I
feel sick as hell and this is normal as my uterus is developing a new
wall according to Dr. K and a site I read where it says symptoms can be
the same or even worse for at least 7-8 weeks after disecting
endometriosis. I believe what was causing so much sickness was actually
the endometriosis, but then why when I was 24 when I had surgery in
australia my pain was completely erradicated for almost 9 years or so. I
believe perhaps the adhesions or scare tissue irritated the endo, and
the endo got worse over the years. My hormones are going crazy. I went
from feeling like I wanted to jump off a building, to feeling extremely
sexy, to feeling anxious. And my period is producing large clots. I am
waiting for that day, when all the symptoms disappear as it has for
others after having endo surgery. I am wondering if and what the
symptoms for others were during the first month or so after endo
surgery, during the first month of healing? The most crazy thing is my
surgery on Aug 19 in the USA can you believe a gynaecologist was in on,
and did not see my endometriosis which Dr. K saw right away! That's why
when you feel so sick you have to keep searching just as Karen did for
her daughter Melissa. God Bless all of you for a pain free night and
much peace.
