Hi Kristen Honey - I pray you are feeling a little better at the time you read this. I feel you pain love! Have you considered maybe getting a new gyn? Is it possible that you are pregnant and its an ectopic one? My aunt had an ectopic pregnancy that caused her SEVERE pain, she passed out at work when her fallopian tube burst. They rushed her to the hospital, she almost died from internal bleeding but they were able to save her. Just a thought. Have you had an ultra sound recently? How about a laporoscopy? What medication are you on currently? Are you trying to have a baby? I know this is a lot of questions but since I'm fairly new here I dont' know your story. Please email me private (when you're feeling up to it of course) and we can talk some more. If a block and demerol are helping the pain then there is definitely something serious going on. Have they ran any kind of tests on you at all? Please let me know. I'm sending you a great big hug, some sunshine and some pain free days! Take care and write soon! Love Your Endo Pal in Alaska - Amy
