Angie,
I completely agree with Marlene. There is one site in particular that I
found for my husband. Although he has yet to read the info I printed for
him. He is a man!!!! I have to look for the site. And I will forward it
to you. It is a site just for men, who have women friends, wives,
girlfriends with endo. It is written by a man who is married to a woman
with endo. I am so sorry for what you are going through. My husband is so
worried about how much medicine I take, it drives me nuts. We just got into
it last night. I told him to walk one day in my shoes, he would end up in
the ER not being able to handle the pain. My thoughts and prayers are with
you. Don't force the issue on him. He needs to understand it, but don't
press it on him. I believe that love will overcome all. It may take some
time. But if it's true love, it will be o.k. eventually. Cry, get it out.
Pain Free Wishes, Emily
