    • Hug

      From Kirsty2007 February 20

      Thanks for my hug yesterday, how are you? I had a quick look at your journal entry and how you are Endo free. I bet you are so relieved, I am on the Zoladex injections along side HRT and if it shows to improve my symptoms of which it has my Gynae has finally agreed to do a partial hysterectomy where she will remove the fallopian tubes. A lot of women on here don't think it is a good idea or some have experienced this procedure and it hasn't worked for them. So anything you could tell me about your experience would be greatly appreciated. I have been begging for a hysterectomy for three years now but because I am young I have always been declined. but over Christmas I had my third laporoscopy and they finally realised that it has gone beyond a point now as it has grown in my bladder and my bowel and I had to have a four and half hour surgery to remove it all. Anyway I won't babble on much longer just thought it would be great to get some advice from you. Kirsty xx

    • Close Endometriosis

      I have been fighting with Endo for over 15 years now. It took 7 doctors and many years of thinking I was crazy before I finally was diagnosed. Fall of 2007 was a blur of unstoppable pain for me - so the Hysterectomy was a huge relief. I am currently learning how to deal with hormone replacement therapy and the side effects.

      Treatments

      Depo-Provera Working / Worked
      Worked for many years, but finally my system would not recognize it and the breakthrough bleeding became constant and painful.
      Extended-Cycle Birth Control Working / Worked
      Did NOT work at all.
      Hysteroscopy Working / Worked
      Had my Hyst. on Dec. 7, 2007 and boy, the difference it made!
      Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      I actually had 2 laps. The first doctor was looking for cancer - didn't find it - saw the Endo and closed me up. The second doc fixed the endo - that was 14 years ago.
