Hi Michelle,
I hope your lap goes well and helps with the pain. My first lap did
help me for awhile. I've been dealing with depression for quite awhile
too. Not just from the endo and chronic pain, but also am hypoglycemic,
so my diet really affects how I feel day to day. I'm on Celexa now and
hope it kicks in soon. I hope you can let your husband know how
important it is to you to have his love and support during this
difficult time. Maybe if he knows that just being there for you helps,
then maybe he won't feel as frustrated that he can't take away your
physical pain.
Do you have an endo support group you can go to in your area? Just a
thought.
Good luck! :)
