    • Close Endometriosis

      I have had problems with painful periods since I was 15. It wasn't until late June of 07 when the pain started to become constant. It wasn't until the end of September that one the doctors suggested endo. I meet my gyno and had surgery 2 weeks later. I am happy that now I know what is causing the pain so my doctor and I can come up with a game plan on how to make it better.

      Treatments

      Evista Somewhat Helpful
      This combined with Lupron is helping alot of the pain, but I still have those days when I am in a lot of pain
      Laparoscopic Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      Helped for a few weeks, then the pain came back.
      Lupron Somewhat Helpful
      After my first shot, I had about a week of increased pain, then I was almost pain free for a couple of weeks. After that my pain started back and it grows worse everyday
      Provera Not Working
      Having side effects because it is not doing well with my other medications. I am very depressed.
      Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      Started having pains again not too long after
    • Close Depression

      I have endometriosis and the medications that I am taking for that are not mixing well at the moment causing me to be in a state of depression. My friends don't understand what I am going through, and there way of helping is staying away so they don't say the wrong thing and make me cry. This makes everything worse because it makes me think that I am all alone and that nobody cares about me.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      It seems to be very helpful. I keep getting closer to my normal self everyday
      Effexor Not Working
      I started off with 75mg and now up to 300mg and is not helping at all. Causing me not to be able to sleep.
