    About Me

    I have endometriosis. In my effort to get more information about the disease, I found this website. I generally try to hide how I am feeling to most of the people in my life because they do not understand Endometriosis. I was diagnosed in 2007 by a Laparoscopy, had endo removed from my left ovary. Also found out during this surgery that my left fallopian tube is blocked. I have recently had pain come back with a vengeance this year and am scheduled to have another surgery on September 19, 2008 to have my left fallopian tube removed which I am really scared about. I've also not had a period since May 2, 08 so I am starting Prometrium to jumpstart that. I hate this disease.

    Interests

    knitting, reading, watching michigan state sports.

      Am thinking about you and hoping you are feeling better! I am sorry you are not feeling well with the progestrone. Try sucking on a strong peppermint (like an Altoid)...that has always helped me get thru nausea...and I have it frequently!

      Just want you to know I am thinking of you. I know how bad the pain can be, and also feel realy frustrated by this endo thing. I hate it too. Like one of the other girls, maybe I don't have great advice, but I know what you are going through. Hope that helps.
