Crazy, what are you doing up at this hour? Well it is 0640 my time, been up
all night, I am an RN on a night shift, going home in 1.2 hours!!
Anywhoo,
the lupron has helped so far. Comparing my initial lap in October 2000 with
the one done in April, there was quite alot of healing done. It will take
quite a while for the endo to every build up to that magnitude again. Just
trying to figure out how to deal with it now. Even though I am a nurse, and
practice western medicine daily, I do not want to be on synthetic
medication, there has got to be a healthier way to deal with it, something
more natural.
Cheers, and look forward to chatting with you again, Karen McNolty
